In 1667, at the height of the Dutch Golden Age, a groundbreaking Hebrew Bible was published in Amsterdam. It was edited by a Dutch Calvinist professor in collaboration with Jewish scholars and printed by a Sephardi exile shortly after his father was burned in an auto-da-fé in Spain. This 'Biblia Hebraica Accuratissima' epitomized the kind of encounter across the frontiers of faith for which Early Modern Amsterdam has long been famous. For the first time, a Bible carried the approbations of both Jewish and Christian religious authorities, a remarkable accomplishment for an age of fierce confessional polemic centered on the proper interpretation of Scripture.
