THE BIBLE THAT IS, THE HOLY SCRIPTURES CONTAINED IN THE OLD & NEW TESTAMENT.

London: Robert Barker, 1607. Full Calf. Very Good+. 2 parts in one volume, folio (13 x 8 1/2 in.; 330 x 216 mm). Double column text in roman type, 63 lines to the full column, engraved general title tinted by hand in rose pink and light blue wash, woodcut headpiece and small ornament on New Testament title-page with continuous register but separate foliation, full-page woodcut of Adam and Eve in Eden facing Genesis, 31 woodcut text illustrations, diagrams, and maps, woodcut initials and head- and tailpieces; foliation errors as typical; scattered staining throughout, tape repaired tear on G2 cutting into side-notes, and another on Ffff2 repaired with older cellotape. Contemporary calf over beveled wooden boards, old sueded calf spine nailed to front and rear covers (this done a very long time ago); catches perished, but still a most impressive looking object and a quite decent copy, overall, of the Geneva Bible in Folio format in a contemporary binding. The Geneva version of the Old Testament, translated by William Whittingham, Anthony Gilby, Thomas Sampson, and perhaps others, with Laurence Tomson's revision of the Geneva version of the New Testament and his translation of Franciscus Junius' translation of Revelation. The correct collation reads as in ESTC, not Herbert (quires Aaa–Zzz should read: Aaa–Lll6 Mmm–Ooo8 Ppp–Zzz6). STC 2199; ESTC S122320; Herbert 289.
