Tremellius (1510-1580) is known for his translation of the Bible from Hebrew and Syriac into Latin. His version was not without imperfections, but it was considered by the Reformers as the most accurate Latin rendering (DNB.) In this edition, Middleton added Beza's Latin version to that of Tremellius. ESTC locates only 3 copies held by American institutions. [ESTC S4129]
