The Ferrara Bible was a 1553 publication of the Ladino version of the Tanakh used by Sephardi Jews. It was paid for and made by Yom-Tob ben Levi Athias (the Portuguese Marrano known before his return to Judaism as Alvaro de Vargas,[1] as typographer) and Abraham ben Salomon Usque (the Portuguese Marrano Duarte Pinhel, as translator), and was dedicated to Ercole II d'Este, Duke of Ferrara. Ercole's wife Renée of France was a Protestant, daughter of Louis XII of France.
This version is a revision of a translation which had long circulated among Spanish Jews. It is more formally entitled Biblia en Lengua Española Traducida Palabra por Palabra de la Verdad Hebrayca por Muy Excelentes Letrados, Vista y Examinada por el Oficio de la Inquisicion. Con Privilegio del Ylustrissimo Señor Duque de Ferrara. ("The Bible in the Spanish Language, Translated word for word from the true Hebrew by very excellent Literati, Viewed and Examined by the Office of the Inquisition [though the Inquisition would not have passed such a work]. With the Privilege of the most Illustrious Lord Duke of Ferrara.)
Two editions were printed simultaneously, one dedicated to the duke, and one for the Jewish public dedicated to Doña Gracia Nasi.
^In a number of historical studies, it is stated that the Portuguese name of Yom-Tob Athias was Jerónimo de Vargas. Yet, as it demonstrated by Aron Leoni (La nazione ebraica spagnola e portoghese di Ferrara (1492-1559), Florence, pp. 443, 1089) his actual given name was Alvaro, while Jerónimo de Vargas was his son and co-editor.
