The Geneva Bible is one of the most historically significant translations of the Bible into English preceding the King James Version by 51 years. It was the primary Bible of 16th-century English Protestantism and was the Bible used by William Shakespeare and Oliver Cromwell. It was one of the Bibles taken to America on the Mayflower. This version of the Bible is significant because for the very first time a mechanically printed mass-produced Bible was made available directly to the general public which came with a variety of scriptural study guides and aids collectively called an apparatus which included verse citations that allow the reader to cross-reference one verse with numerous relevant verses in the rest of the Bible introductions to each book of the Bible that acted to summarize all of the material that each book would cover maps tables woodcut illustrations and indices. The annotations which are an important part of the Geneva Bible were Calvinist and Puritan in character and as such they were disliked by the ruling pro-government Anglicans of the Church of England as well as King James I who commissioned the "Authorized Version" or King James Bible in order to replace it. Surprisingly the Geneva notes were included in a few editions of the King James version even as late as 1715. unknown books

"A native of Burgos educated at Louvain and Wittenberg Francisco de Enzinas 1518-52 was a humanist scholar and Protestant convert who produced the first Spanish version of the New Testament printed in 1543 in Antwerp. He formed a partnership with the Strassburg printer Augustin Fries to publish Spanish translations of Greek classics and the remainder of the Bible of which he was only able to complete Psalms Ecclesiasticus Job and Proverbs before his death. Baudrier VIII 241 not having seen or located a copy citing Brunet supplement II 712" "Even before the complete edition of Castellio's Latin Bible appeared Enzinas who had already produced a Spanish Bible New Testament in Antewerp in 1543 had translated the Psalter the Wisdom of Solomon Jesus Sirach present copy and the book of Job into Spanish. All of these appeared with the false address 'En Leon en casa de Sebastian Grypho' though they were in fact his translations from manuscript versions of Castellio's edition. Enzinas continued to work on his translations until his death on 30 December 1552. He had planned to have his Spanish Bible printed in Geneva but this fortunately for Calvin never came to pass."

18391463Novo York 1839. Good plus. Original mottled calf spine gilt ruled leather label. Boards scuffed calf somewhat worn at edges and along spine. Pastedowns detaching from boards. A scarce Portuguese New York imprint comprising the Catholic New Testament. The translator Antonio Pereira de Figueiredo was a Portuguese monk who completed his vernacular Bible over the course of eighteen years during the late-18th century. His New Testament was originally published in parts from 1778 to 1781. The publication of this edition in New York by the American Bible Society perhaps correlates to the growth of Portuguese immigration to the Northeast associated with the rise of the American whaling industry during this period. books
