The section containing the Apocrypha, though included in the list of books, was apparently omitted from all except a few copies. These Bibles were probably printed for English use in the Low Countries. There are many editions bearing this date, while agreeing closely are yet distinct (some possibly published as late as 1640). No doubt a certain number of copies were originally issued in a mixed state. The nominal date, 1599, for most editions is probably untrue in almost every case; they were apparently published at different times in Amsterdam and Dort and adopted by Barker. This edition with Esther i. 1 '. seven | and twenty provinces'.

Rare "Breeches" Bible, printed by Christopher Barker with the fictitious 1599 publication date. "There are many editions bearing this date, which while agreeing closely are yet distinct . the phenomena of the various editions described under the year 1599, and the very similar edition of 1633, constitute one of the most curious problems in the bibliography of the English Bible." Genesis 3:7 with "Then theÂeyesÂof them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed figge tree leaves together, and made themselvesÂbreeches." Octavo, two volumes bound into one in full paneled calf, hand-embossing to the front and rear panels, original silk and cloth ribbons, woodcut title pages and initials. Bound with The Booke of Common Prayer, and the Administration of the Sacraments, and Other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church of England printed by Robert Barker in 1636. In good condition, rebacked, contemporary names and inscriptions to several pages. A very rare and desirable example of the Breeches Bible. Upon Queen Maryâs accession in 1553, âpublication of the English Bible ceased in England. Many Protestants who fled to the Continent were attracted to Calvinâs Geneva. Among these exiles were eminent English Bible scholars who began work on a new translationâ (The Bible: 100 Landmarks 62). First published in 1560, the Geneva Bibleâ"often called the âBreeches Bibleâ for its unique rendering of Genesis 3:7â"was âmore scholarly than any previous translationâĤ [It] achieved immediate popularity and exerted an extremely powerful influenceâĤ The Geneva Version included prefaces, maps and tables; and for the first time in an English Bible the verses were divided and numberedâĤ It has been more properly called the Elizabethan family Bible, since it was this version which was the first to enter the English homeâ (PMM 83). âIt became the textus receptus for the Puritan element in England. It was read by Shakespeare, Bunyan and the soldiers of the Civil War, and is thus of cardinal importance for its influence on the English language, literature and thoughtâ (Great Books and Book Collectors, 105-8).

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. [SPLENDIDLY BOUND] 4to. 1) ff. [iv], 190; 127, [i]; 121, [xi] 2) pp. [x], 93 [i.e. 91], [xi]. Roman letter, some Italic in double column. General and NT titles within heart-shaped woodcut borders with twenty-four small compartments, left, the tents of the twelve tribes; on the right the twelve Apostles, the four Evangelists at centre, additional printed general title, 3 woodcut maps and numerous illustrations in the text of the Old Testament, seventeenth-century manuscript entries on blank leaf between testaments of the Crook family of Luton (between 1674 and 1687). Light age yellowing, very light waterstain to upper part of first few leaves, very occasional marginal stains and spots. A fine copy, crisp and clean in stunning contemporary English, or perhaps Scottish, black calf over thick bevelled wooden boards, covers double gilt ruled to a panel design, dentelle and floral rolls to outer two panels, inner panel with large gilt block stamped corners, large arabesque gilt to centre around central oval, semi of small floral tools gilt, spine with raised bands, three large rose tools gilt to each compartment, brass clasps and catches, (without one clasp), all edges finely gilt and gauffered, combed marbled end-papers, head and tail of spine a little rubbed, corners restored. A rare complete 'Geneva' Bible, with the Psalms, published clandestinely in Amsterdam for the English market with a false date and imprint. The binding is very finely worked and shares the same overall design with many bindings in the British library, often with royal, or noble arms, but most particularly with a Scottish binding Shelfmark C21d12, which also has a floral border. The use of black calf and a decoration of repeated rose tools on the spine is particularly striking and effective. The exiled English community at Geneva, during the reign of Queen Mary, became a centre for Bible study and under the guidance of Whittingham, a new translation of the Bible was undertaken. The present edition was the work of William Whittingham, Anthony Gilby, Thomas Sampson, and perhaps others, revised by Laurence Tomson, with the Franciscus Junius translation of Revelation translated to English by Tomson. The Bible that was produced at Geneva used several devices to help the reader study, understand and interpret. The script was divided into numbered verses for the first time. An 'argument' was also used before each book and chapter to help explain the meaning. The marginal notes amount to 300,000 words or about a third of the complete length. The translators used these scholarly annotations to clarify ambiguous meanings and for cross-referencing. King James, to impose his version, discouraged the printing of the Geneva version from 1611. The authorities of the seventeenth century were also suspicious of these marginal annotations, believing that they encouraged sedition. Indeed, James claimed that some notes were "very partial, untrue, seditious, and savouring too much of dangerous and traitorous conceits." His attitude is perhaps unsurprising when notes such as Exodus 1:19 claimed that a disobedient act against a king was lawful. Despite royal antipathy, the Geneva Bible remained popular, often described as the 'Bible of the people'. It was not generally used in the Church of England as the notes were sometimes too Protestant for the Elizabethan religious settlement; it was however used in the Scottish Kirk. Indeed, in 1579 a Scottish edition of the Geneva version was the first Bible to be printed in Scotland. According to Darlow and Moule, between 1560 and 1644 at least 140 editions of the Geneva Bible or Testament appeared. It was the Bible of Shakespeare and as late as 1643, Cromwell's New Model Army was carrying the Soldier's Pocket Bible made up of extracts. This edition contains two false title pages and was certainly produced outside the monopoly of the Stationers Company. Despite the fact that unlicensed foreign texts infringed this monopoly.

20.5x14 cm. Later full diced calf, spine cracked. Very good condition, with wear typical for the period. Title page of Old Testament in facsimile. Contemporary manuscript notes on several pages. [124], 190, 181 [i.e. 196], 121, [20], 88 pp. Bound with: Sternholm, Thomas, The Booke of Psalmes, London: Companie of Stationers, 1612. The first book (124 pp.) bound here has the title page from the Book of Common Prayer and Administration of the Sacraments . Cambridge: John Hayes, 1676. (Wing 3648). However, the colophon indicates that it was published by Robert Barker in 1622. It is quite possible that the later title page was erroneously inserted later when the volume was rebound. The title page of the Old Testament is dated 1610, but the colophon, and New Testament, are dated 1611. This is a London edition of the Geneva Bible.
