| Notes: | Added t.-p.: A critical history of the Old Testament in three books: the first treating at large concerning the several authors of the Bible. The second containing the history of the chief translations of the Bible, made either by Jews or Christians. The third laying down rules whereby a more exact translation may be made of the Scripture than hitherto has been. Written originally by Father Simon of the Oratory. With a supplement, being a defence of the Critical history, in answer to Mr. Spanheim treatise against it. Both translated into English by H.D. London, J. Tonson, 1682.
Another edition was published in London in 1682 without the added t.-p. and An answer to Spanheim's Letter. cf. Brit. mus. Cat.
Halkett and Laing and the British museum catalog give Richard Hampden as translator, but Dictionary of national biography states that this assumption is improbable, citing Scott's Dryden, 1803, as authority.
"An answer to Mr. Spanheim's Letter": p. 41-91 (5th group)
Tr. of: Histoire critique de Vieux Testament.
