Bible; English; Geneva version The Bible, that is, The Holy Scriptures Imprinted at London [i.e. Amsterdam]: Deputies of Christopher Barker, 1599. 4to, General title with woodcut, woodcuts in the text, New Testament title within wide woodcut border, 18th century tree calf, bound without Apocrypha (as often), General title with loss of fore-margin and slightly soiled, preliminary leaf listing Books frayed with loss, A1-2 frayed both with loss of a word of running title, small corner of Q3 and FF1 torn away with loss of a few words, LL4-6 all with loss of approximately half a leaf, final 2 leaves frayed with loss of a few words, some light staining, more pronounced at end, rubbed Qty: (1) Note: Geneva version; with Thomson's NT, but with Junius' Revelation. The section containing the Apocrypha, though included in the list of books, was apparently omitted from all except a few copies. These Bibles were printed probably for English use in the Low Countries. There are many editions bearing this date, which 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 I and twenty provinces. "Easily distinguishable from the other editions; since every page is surrounded, and the columns are separated, by black lines".
