The author Jean Cinqarbres (Johannes Quinquarboreus, 1514–1587) was a French grammarian of Hebrew origins and was considered one of the foremost linguists of the 16th century, famous for his extensive knowledge of Hebrew grammar and syntax. He occupied the chair of Hebrew and Syriac languages at the College de France until his death.
The distinctive printer's woodcut device on the title page (Renouard, P. Marques 828, p.264–265) first belonged to Conrad Nòbar, before passing onto Jaques Bogard and later to Martin Le Jeune, but this size is not recorded in Renouard’s bibliography.
