1669505324Louys & Daniel Elzevier 1669. Leather. FINE. 'Without exception the most splendid French Bible ever printed' Bibliotheca Sussexiana. The Great Elzevier Bible two-volume printing on fine paper: a spectacular printing of the French Geneva Bible in folio with full notes. The greatest achievement of the famed house of Elzevier and a serious contender for one of the finest Bibles in any language. 'Un des plus beaux monuments de la typographie elzevirienne . Édition exécutée avec un grand luxe typographique mais que l'on dit peu correcte' Willems Les Elzevier; Histoire et Annales Typographiques. Willems references the catalog of 1675 as offering three different paper options for this Bible: 'Imperiael coté 110 florins; Frans Real 56 florins; Veluws Real 50 florins; grand Mediaen 44 florins.' These latter three range from 430-44mm; our copy is the 'Imperiael' fine-paper edition without its original decklage now 460mm but came off the press at a full half meter. The Elzevier Bible was a decade-long production for which all stops were pulled out. First conceived by Louis Elzevier; although he retired from the press in 1665 his cousin Daniel's personal respect for him and regard for his contributions to this Bible led him to insist on retaining is former partner's name on the title page. The Elzeviers commissioned the Huegenot Father-Son team Samuel and Henri Marets to produce the ultimate French Geneva Bible. Using the 1552 de Hayes edition of Olivetan's French Bible first translated from the Greek and Hebrew originals for the French Protestants in 1535 they included all of the original Geneva notes along with translations of the Dutch notes printed in Dort 1637 as well as many other notes gleaned from other sources including their own original contributions. This astounding work of scholarship is matched by the frontispiece and greatly detailed maps four of which were newly commissioned by the Elzeviers from the great Dutch painter Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem. The fifrth Jerusalem and the Temple was copied from the London Polyglot Bible of 1655. These were engraved by Amsterdam printmakers Abraham Blooteling and Jan de Vissche. All this alongside the extaordinary typographical work by Daniel Elzevier make this a truly special Bible. DETAILS: Folio 46 x 30cm.

Darlow & Moule 285 one of some 30 odd Barker printings of the 1580 edition with trivial modifications William Whittingham was one of many Puritan scholars who landed in Calvin's Geneva as exiles from eligious persecution under Queen Mary. Trained in classical languages at Oxford Whittingham completed a fresh translation of the New Testament from the original Greek in 1557. Joined by Anthony Gilby and Thomas Sampson a translation of the Old Testament from the original Hebrew and Aramaic was completed in 1560. The three saw their work as a continuance of the tradition of English Bible translation first begun by William Tyndale and Miles Coverdale.
