Arabic Type

Same types used for the pubblication of the Arabic translation (made by Giovanni Battista Eliano) of the profession of faith promulgated by Pius V for Eastern Christians who claimed to be united to the Catholic Church: Iʻtiqād al-amāna al-urtūduksiyya kanīsa rūmiyya [sic.] - Fidei orthodoxae brevis et explicita confessio quam Sacrosanta Romana Ecclesia docet (Rome, Tipografia del Collegio Romano, 1566)

Descriptive card

The edition does not show place or date, but the types used link it to the Jesuit Tipografia del Collegio Romano production. On the same base, the work has been questionably ascribed to the Jesuit Giovanni Battista Eliano, who edited other works for the same printing press. The date of the edition is also based on other editions published with the same types (1566, the profession of faith in Arabic), and the availability of more refined types for the Tipografia del Collegio Romano in 1580. In any case, the older types continued to be used until 1615.
