Hardcover. Condition: Poor. This book is missing its title page, but based on the preface it appears to be a copy of the French language Osterwald Bible.  No date is given, but on the last page is found, "Imprime dans l'Imprimerie de la Librarie Heilmann, a Bienne en Suisse," "Printed at the Printer of the Heilmann Bookshop, at Bienne, Swizterland."   Jean-Frederice Osterwald (1663-1747) was a French Swiss pastor who produced a translation of the Bible in 1724.  In the introduction he decries the fact that the Bible is not accessible, and identifies that majority of errors and crises within Christendom to originate in the fact that even those Christians who can read the Bible do not make any attempt to do so, nor do they through acts of charity make the Scriptures available to those who would like to read them but do not have the material means to do so.  He argues that the restriction of the Bible to only select people is at odds with the stated purpose of the Scriptures, and that reading out sections in Latin at Mass is pointless, since so few are able to understand it.  His translation, then, was an attempt to make the Bible more accessible to a wider audience. No date is present, but this copy is likely from the 18th century.  The original binding is present but is in very poor condition.  Both the front and back covers have separated, but are present.  The front fly leaf has remained attached to the front cover, and thus is no longer attached to the body of the book.  Similarly, the back fly leaf and a page of text have remained attached to the back cover.  Some sections of quires have almost entirely separated from each other but remain attached at one point.  No pages appear to be missing.

L (Mecklembourgeois) / Fondateur de l'Institution Biblique Stéréotype / de Paris / Membre . . . / . . . / à Paris le 20 Juin 1813.'' --- Lutheran Pastor Frédéric Léo from Mecklenburg-Germany was sent as 'pastor-suffragan' of the Lutheran Consistory to Paris in 1811 to spread the protestant view of christianity in the catholic heart of France, and with the support of Frederic Louis Crownprince of Mecklenburg - to whom he dedicated this particular bibliophile copy - raised funds for the massprint of bibles (not only) from the crownprince's former brother-in-law Tsar Alexander I., who himself founded of the 'Bible Society of Russia'. Together with the famous french printer Firmin Didot, who perfectionized the stereotype-printing process to produce a very large number of pages from 1 plate in lasting good quality and economically successful, Léo started the mass-production of Ostervald's New Testament in 1813 which in quality and number by far exceeded earlier stereotype bible-editions in Germany (Canstein/Halle) and England (Stanhope/Cambridge), although not many seem to have survived resp. can be found in trade. This was the initial moment for the mass-production and wide-spread of printed bibles, affordable for 'everyone'. Encouraged by his success in 1816 Léo also initiated a 'Catholic Society for the Distribution of the New Testament' to publish an edition according to the version of Sacy until his 'Institution Biblique Stéréotype' was shut down by the Vatican's condemnation of Bible Societies in 1825. The publishing of protestant as well as catholic bibles also made him a Pioneer of ecumenical christianity. . . - BINDING SLIGHTLY RUBBED, rearpanel slightly scratched, bottom of frontjoint slightly split for 2-cm; A BEAUTIFUL COPY IN ALMOST BEST CONDITION AND WITH THE BEST POSSIBLE ASSOCIATION (until a dedication copy to Alexander I. in his private binding may be discovered); A MILESTONE IN PRINTING-HISTORY. . .

Lausanne: Henri Vincent, 1807. 1 vol. in-fol.: 26.5 x 41 cm, [3] ff., vi-586-22<y0-80-303 pp. Sixième édition revue et corrigée de la Bible d'Ostervald; la première édition étant de 1744. Portrait d'Ostervald gravé en frontispice par G.F, Schmidten d'après J. P. Henchoz avec, en regard, une allégorie des 10 Commandements provenant de l'éd. de 1778, par Billé d'après le Barbier.

Quelques traces frottements à la reliure. Intérieur en excellent état. Beau volume. Cette fameuse version française de la Bible, largement utilisée chez les protestants jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle, n'est pas une traduction, comme on pourrait le croire, mais une révision de la Bible des pasteurs de Genève (la version de David Martin, éditée en 1707). La grande popularité de la Bible d'Ostervald est notamment due aux nombreux commentaires, réflexions morales et pieuses qui accompagnent les chapitres.Mis de côté.
