Biblic

"A late Writer . . in his Biblic Inquisitions."

"The Biblic expression, as it is translated, ‘of the Ancient of Day’—which means, ‘He that existed before time,’ furnished the primitive artists, instead of an image of supreme majesty, only with the hoary image of age: and such a figure borne along by a globe of angels, and crowned with a kind of episcopal mitre, recurs on the bronzes of Lorenzo Ghiberti."
