B, 1630 Geneva Bible, translated from Hebrew and Greek
Notes
The 1630 Geneva Bible holds a significant place in the history of English translations of the Bible. Following in the footsteps of the original Geneva Bible of 1560, this edition continued the tradition of providing not only the scripture but also extensive marginal notes, cross-references, and commentary, making it a comprehensive study tool for readers of the Protestant faith. It was a product of the Puritan movement and was widely used by English-speaking Protestants during the 17th century, including those who settled in the New World. Its influence extended far beyond its time, contributing to the shaping of religious thought and language in the English-speaking world.
Description
Beautiful leather binding with burgundy band reading, "Holy Bible" on spine, some light scuffing to edges, occasional finger-soiling and browning, some pages trimmed shaving some marginal footnotes. A nice clean copy overall
