1664 Lyra Prophetica Davidis Victorinus Bythner Analysis of PSALMS Hebrew Bible

An incredibly rare analysis of the Psalms of David by Victorinus Bythner. Bythner wrote this work as a reference on the language and vocabulary used in the psalms in both Hebrew and Latin. This work saw substantial popularity and was reprinted through the mid-19^th-century.

According to the ‘Dictionary of National Biography’,

“Bythner’s grammatical works, though written in curiously faulty Latin, are models of lucid and compact arrangement, and continued long in use… The most important ‘Lyra Prophetica Davids Regis’ is a grammatical analysis of every word in the Hebrew psalter.” (DNB)

Bythner first published this work in 1650, and two editions were printed in 1664. This, the first of the two, has a different publisher imprint than the latter. (Wing).
