Contemporary vellum spliced or splitting in some areas otherwise holding up well a robust volume. <br/><br/>La Sainte Bible printed by Louis and Daniel Elzevier of Amsterdam has been called without exception the most splendid French Bible ever printed Bibl. Sussexiana. However Brunet echoed by Graesse calls is très remarquable par sa belle éxecution typographique; mais la correction en a eté peu soignée et les notes ne sont pas estimées. A magnificent but not very correct edition. According to the catalogue of 1675 it was printed in four sizes of type Imperial France Real Veluws Real and Grand Mediaen. It was one of the few large-format productions of the Elzevier presses better known for their small Port-Royal New Testaments. The two printmakers who engraved Berchems designs for the Bible maps Abraham Blooteling 1640-1690 and Jan de Visscher 1632-1692 were highly respected artists who lived and worked in Amsterdam. These engravers must have been acquainted and had probably studied together in the workshop of Cornelis Visscher. Both most likely were selected or at least approved by Berchem as engravers of the map prints. Four of the five maps within the 1669 La Sainte Bible are ornamented with illustrations engraved from models by Berchem. Designs on the fifth map may also be by Berchem.

The spine has slightly raised bands and elaborate gold stamping in its compartments. => This is the second copy of this Bible that we have had and we are convinced that this is a publisher's deluxe leather binding.

Leverett" is lettered in gilt on the front cover and the same name is given in precise gothic calligraphy on the front free endpaper. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Not in O'Callaghan; not in Darlow & Moule. Bound as above corners a little bumped with a bit of long ago refurbishing thereto dulling outermost elements of gilt border only on front cover just at those corners. Evidence to endpapers of the volume's once having been sewn into a chemise or wrapper; old notes just discernable not really readable in a minute hand on front free endpaper i.e. "behind" Sarah's name. Faint waterstaining in lower inside area for the first few pages only. => The whole very attractive and well preserved. Stéréotypé par Henry W. Rees, pour la Société Biblique Americaine, D.

The New Testament has its own titlepage p.1129 and imprint. The verso of the first titlepage bears the words "Ka lua o ke pai ana" the second printing referring to the only other printing of the entire Old Testament in 1838 at the same press.

First Edition of the New Testament in Modern Greek. First edition of the New Testament translated into modern Greek. An important and attractive publication sponsored by the States General of Holland to foster amity between the Greek and Reformed Churches. The modern Greek was prepared by the monk Maximus of Gallipoli and the edition was authorized by the Patriarch of Constantinople Cyril Lucarius who contributed a Preface. The edition is reported to have consisted of some 1500 copies. The rationale behind the preparation of this text was much the same as the impetus leading to the publication by Elzevier of a modern Greek translation of the Dutch Reformed Catechism in 1648.
