[Mesorah] מקראות גדולות - ונציה, רע"ח - מהדורת המקראות הגדולות הראשונה - דפוס בומברג

[Dov Bloom]

The classic Mikraot Gedolot, refered to by Breuer as Dalet, is not called
the first edition. It is called in English the SECOND Rabbinic Bible,
1525-7 I believe. This is the one Yaacov ben Chaim worked on.

I shivver to quote Wikipedia but here they are correct:

Bomberg editions of Mikraot Gedolot

First published in 1516–17 by Daniel Bomberg
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Bomberg> in Venice
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venice>, the *Mikraot Gedolot* was edited
by Felix Pratensis <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Pratensis>. The
second edition was edited by the Masoretic scholar Jacob ben Hayyim ibn
Adonijah <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_ben_Hayyim_ibn_Adonijah> in
1525.[3] <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikraot_Gedolot#cite_note-3>

R Seth Mandel z'l wrote an excellent post on this very list on 31.7.2014
where he mentions both the Ibn Adoniahu 1525 (Second) addition, and refers
also to the Pratensis First edition ( re: gaayot and hataphim).

>From Seth's post of 2014:

However, Ya'akov Ibn Adoniyah did quite an amazing job in the Great
Rabbinic Bible published by Daniel Bomberg in 1525.  He recognized the
importance of the Mesorah and printed both the Q'tanna and G'dola.  He he
attempted to gather the best manuscripts of the T'N'aKh from around the
Jewish world, and what he called "Miqra'ot G'dolot" remained the standard
for all subsequent printings for 400 years
