This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Benito Arias Montano was born at Fregenal de la Sierra, in Estremadura, in 1527.
He studied at the universities of Seville and Alcala.
After studying he took orders about the year 1559.
He accompanied the Bishop of Segovia to the Council of Trent (1562) where he won great distinction.
On his return he retired to a hermitage at Aracena whence he was summoned by Philip II (1568) to supervise a new polyglot edition of the Bible, with the collaboration of many learned men. The work was issued from the Plantin press (1572, 8 volumes) under the title Biblia sacra hebraice chaldaice, graece et latine, Philippi II regis catholici pietate et studio ad sacrosanctae Ecclesiae usum, several volumes being devoted to a scholarly apparatus biblicus. Arias was responsible for a large part of the actual matter, besides the general superintendence, and in obedience to the command of the king took the work to Rome for the approbation of Pope Gregory XIII.
León de Castro, professor of Oriental languages at Salamanca, to whose translation of the Vulgate Arias had opposed the original Hebrew text, denounced Arias to the Roman, and later to the Spanish Inquisition for having altered the Biblical text, making too liberal use of the rabbinical writings, in disregard of the decree of the Council of Trent concerning the authenticity of the Vulgate, and confirming the Jews in their beliefs by his Chaldaic paraphrases. After several journeys to Rome Arias was freed of the charges (1580) and returned to his hermitage, refusing the episcopal honours offered him by the king. He accepted, however, the post of a royal chaplain, but was only induced to leave his retirement for the purpose of superintending the Escorial library and of teaching Oriental languages.
He led the life of an ascetic, dividing his time between prayer and study. In addition to the works written in connection with the polyglot, the most celebrated of which is Antiquitatum judaicarum libri IX (Leyden, 1593), Arias left many commentaries on various books of the Bible; also: Humanae salutis monumenta (Antwerp, 1571); a Latin translation of the Itinerary of Benjamin of Tudela, and other works on widely varying subjects.
He was also celebrated as a poet, his verses being chiefly of a religious nature.
He died in Seville, where he died in 1598.
Benito Arias Montano was a Spanish orientalist and editor of the Antwerp Polyglot. He was one of the most outstanding scholars of his time.
There is a monument dedicated to Arias Montano located next to the Avenue of Spain.
The street where the famous humanist was born today bears his name.
The bust of Arias Montano, by Eugenio Hermoso on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of the celebrated humanist, is found in the Peña de Los Ángeles, in the municipality of Alájar (Huelva).
In the Palace of San Telmo of Seville a statue of Benito Arias Montano forms part of the gallery of Illustrious Sevillans of the Palace of San Telmo, work of Antonio Susill.

He became a clerical member of the Military Order of St. James in 1562.
He led the life of an ascetic, dividing his time between prayer and study.
Among his habits stood out austerity, the parsimony in the meals, the little time destined to the dream and the constant dedication to the study.
