Claude de Huchin produced a Biblia Sacra for Antoine Vincent also in the year 1567 while Jean Frellon issued a sixth edition in 1568 seemingly on his own. This fifth Frellon edition resembles the former editions but has maps and other illustrations which were not in previous versions. As early as 1553 woodcut illustrations adorned Frellons editions of the New Testament. This is a rare edition of the Biblia Sacra oft overlooked and not found in the usual references. OCLC locates two copies at Universitatsbibliothek at Heidelberg OCLC no. 315584645 and Columbia University OCLC no. 83326666. The edition is recorded in French Books III & IV 2011: No. 57420. These bibles were all the rage in 16th century Lyonnais print houses; most editions issued one right after the other; for example there is an illustrated Latin Bible printed by Guliel Rovilium in Lyon also in 1567.
