In the colophon Sacon describes the book as Impressum est characteribus venetis per Iacobum Sacon, while the original title-page device closely imitated that employed by the Venetian Giunta press. The combination appears deliberately conceived to evoke the appearance and commercial prestige of Venetian, and specifically Giunta, production. The connection is particularly striking in retrospect: Giunta’s illustrated Latin Bible of 1511 subsequently furnished the principal model for the first Sacon-Koberger Bible of 1512.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe edition also belongs to an important transitional phase in the history of the printed Vulgate text, between the inherited textual traditions of the fifteenth century and the increasingly corrected and critically examined Latin Bibles of the sixteenth century. Sacon followed the Bible printed by Thielman Kerver for Jean Petit in 1504, itself a substantially corrected text associated with the editorial work of Adrianus Gummelli. The 1506 Bible thus stands at the intersection of two developments that would increasingly define biblical publishing in the new century: a more sophisticated international market for printed Scripture and a more interventionist approach to the received Latin text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe present copy is distinguished by extensive contemporary annotation throughout virtually the entire text. Seemingly several unidentified early readers have supplied a continuous series of marginal notes, not merely occasional glosses but sustained evidence of close engagement with Scripture from beginning to end. The density and continuity of the marginalia make this an unusually substantial witness to the practical reading and study of the Bible in the first years of the sixteenth century, on the eve of the theological upheavals of the Reformation that would transform Western Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts later provenance is no less remarkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn 6 December 1929 the Bible was acquired by the nineteen-year-old Martin Jan Vochoč (1910–1967) and entered as no. 2320 in his personal library. Vochoč, an archivist, historian and Old Catholic priest, would later become known as the “Czech Oskar Schindler” for his role in producing fictitious baptismal certificates for Jews attempting to escape Nazi persecution. Vochoč studied theology and archival science, worked for a time as historiographer to the Knights of Malta, and was ordained an Old Catholic priest in 1936.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia he collaborated with the Prague lawyer Rudolf Štursa in issuing false baptismal certificates to Jews seeking to emigrate. Later research records approximately 1,500 such documents. Although that figure cannot be equated directly with an identical number of lives saved, the surviving evidence establishes that the operation enabled numerous Jews to avoid deportation to concentration camps and probable death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis activities attracted the attention of the Gestapo. In 1941 an order was issued to search his premises and arrest him in connection with the falsification of Jewish baptismal certificates, though he was initially released for lack of evidence. He was subsequently sent, on instructions from the Reich Main Security Office (RSHA), to forced labour in Germany. At Coburg in Bavaria he worked as a clerk and contracted tuberculosis. His illness led to his release in 1944 and return to Prague, where he nevertheless remained under Gestapo surveillance and was forbidden to exercise his priestly ministry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe precisely dated acquisition of the present Bible lends this provenance particular force. Vochoč did not acquire it retrospectively as an established priest or historian, but as a nineteen-year-old student, seven years before his ordination and almost a decade before the actions for which he would later become known. The volume consequently survives both as an intensively studied Renaissance Bible and as a tangible object from the intellectual formation of a man whose later courage placed him within one of the defining moral crises of twentieth-century Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRare\u003c\/strong\u003e.
