- Description
- Caption: "Leaf from a Giunta Bible, 1519 A.D., Venetiis: Lucas Antonius de Giuta; The earliest of many Latin Bibles to bear the name of Lucantonio Giunta, the chief rival of the Aldi. His press, which existed for nearly a century, became famous not only for its fine music printing, but also for the extensive use of small illustrations in cheaper editions of the Bible, apparently employed for their 'sales appeal' to the humbler class of book buyers (Copinger 176)."
