OUR CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY IS INCLUDED. ABOUT THE GENEVA BIBLEThe Geneva Bible is one of the most historically significant translations of the Bible into English, preceding the King James Version by 51 years. It was the primary Bible of 16th-century English Protestantism and was the Bible used by William Shakespeare, Oliver Cromwell, John Knox, John Donne, and John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim’s Progress (1678). It was one of the Bibles taken to America on the Mayflower (Pilgrim Hall Museum and Dr. Jiang have collected several bibles of Mayflower passengers). The Geneva Bible was used by many English Dissenters, and it was still respected by Oliver Cromwell’s soldiers at the time of the English Civil War, in the booklet “Cromwell’s Soldiers’ Pocket Bible”.This version of the Bible is significant because, for the very first time, a mechanically printed, mass-produced Bible was made available directly to the general public which came with a variety of scriptural study guides and aids (collectively called an apparatus), which included verse citations that allow the reader to cross-reference one verse with numerous relevant verses in the rest of the Bible, introductions to each book of the Bible that acted to summarize all of the material that each book would cover, maps, tables, woodcut illustrations and indices.Because the language of the Geneva Bible was more forceful and vigorous, most readers strongly preferred this version to the Great Bible. In the words of Cleland Boyd McAfee, “it drove the Great Bible off the field by sheer power of excellence”.The Geneva Bible followed the Great Bible of 1539, the first authorized Bible in English, which was the authorized Bible of the Church of England.During the reign of Queen Mary I of England (1553–58), a number of Protestant scholars fled from England to Geneva, Switzerland, which was then ruled as a republic in which John Calvin and, later, Theodore Beza, provided the primary spiritual and theological leadership. Among these scholars was William Whittingham, who supervised the translation now known as the Geneva Bible, in collaboration with Myles Coverdale, Christopher Goodman, Anthony Gilby, Thomas Sampson, and William Cole; several of this group later became prominent figures in the Vestments controversy. Whittingham was directly responsible for the New Testament, which was complete and published in 1557, while Gilby oversaw the Old Testament.The first full edition of this Bible, with a further revised New Testament, appeared in 1560, but it was not printed in England until 1575 (New Testament) and 1576 (complete Bible). Over 150 editions were issued; the last probably in 1644. The very first Bible printed in Scotland was a Geneva Bible, which was first issued in 1579. In fact, the involvement of Knox and Calvin in the creation of the Geneva Bible made it especially appealing in Scotland, where a law was passed in 1579 requiring every household of sufficient means to buy a copy.Some editions from 1576 onwards included Laurence Tomson’s revisions of the New Testament. Some editions from 1599 onwards used a new “Junius” version of the Book of Revelation, in which the notes were translated from a new Latin commentary by Franciscus Junius.The annotations which are an important part of the Geneva Bible were Calvinist and Puritan in character, and as such they were disliked by the ruling pro-government Anglicans of the Church of England, as well as King James I, who commissioned the “Authorized Version”, or King James Bible, in order to replace it. The Geneva Bible had also motivated the earlier production of the Bishops’ Bible under Elizabeth I, for the same reason, and the later Rheims-Douai edition by the Catholic community. The Geneva Bible remained popular among Puritans and remained in widespread use until after the English Civil War. The Geneva notes were surprisingly included in a few editions of the King James version, even as late as 1715. A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A TRUE MUSEUM PIECE!

NOTE: Several 1611 New Testament Title Pages have each sold on ebay in the past for $10,000 or more by themselves. This translation of the Bible, The King James, is widely considered a towering achievement in English literature, as both beautiful and scholarly. The King James, or “Authorized” Version of the Bible has been called “the most influential version of the most influential book in the world, in what is now its most influential language,” “the most important book in English religion and culture”, and “the most celebrated book in the English-speaking world.” BINDING: An imposing and perfectly sympathetic binding for the Four Gospels, using Coptic sewing techniques that were employed by early Christians in Egypt, and used as early as the 2nd century AD. Coptic bindings, the first true codices, are characterized by one or more sections of paper or parchment sewn through their folds, and attached to each other with chain stitch linkings across the open spine, rather than to the thongs or cords running across the spine that characterize European bindings from the 8th century onwards. As typical of Coptic bookbinding structures, no adhesives were used in the construction of the present example, which not only protects but truly enhances the Four Gospels preserved therein. PRINTER: “Robert Barker received no payment for printing the King James Bible from either the King, Parliament, or the Church of England; instead, Barker took on a number of financial partners to assume the cost of producing the Bible. The expenses he incurred included the casting of new types, paper and ink, and most costly of all, labor. Each copy of the Bible used 366 sheets of paper, folded so as to produce four printed pages. The pages were gathered into 123 signatures of six leaves each, which were then then arranged and sewn together. THIS BIBLE CONTAINS; The Original 1611 New Testament Title Page, The Gospel According to S. Matthew, The Gospel According to S. Mark, The Gospel According to S. Luke, and The Gospel According to S. John, along with the first 3 pages of the Book of Acts. REFERENCES: A.S. Herbert, Historical Catalogue of Printed Editions of the English Bible, 1525-1961 (1968) number 319. Darlow-Moule 246.

THIS ORIGINAL 1611 KING JAMES CONTAINS THE GOSPELS, MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN WITH ITS ORIGINAL 1611 NEW TESTAMENT TITLE PAGE AND A SPECTACULAR ONE OF A KIND COPTIC CHRISTIAN WOODEN BINDING!!! NOTE: Several 1611 New Testament Title Pages have each sold on ebay in the past for $10,000 or more by themselves. This translation of the Bible, The King James, is widely considered a towering achievement in English literature, as both beautiful and scholarly. The King James, or “Authorized” Version of the Bible has been called “the most influential version of the most influential book in the world, in what is now its most influential language,” “the most important book in English religion and culture”, and “the most celebrated book in the English-speaking world.” BINDING: An imposing and perfectly sympathetic binding for the Four Gospels, using Coptic sewing techniques that were employed by early Christians in Egypt, and used as early as the 2nd century AD. Coptic bindings, the first true codices, are characterized by one or more sections of paper or parchment sewn through their folds, and attached to each other with chain stitch linkings across the open spine, rather than to the thongs or cords running across the spine that characterize European bindings from the 8th century onwards. As typical of Coptic bookbinding structures, no adhesives were used in the construction of the present example, which not only protects but truly enhances the Four Gospels preserved therein. PRINTER: “Robert Barker received no payment for printing the King James Bible from either the King, Parliament, or the Church of England; instead, Barker took on a number of financial partners to assume the cost of producing the Bible. The expenses he incurred included the casting of new types, paper and ink, and most costly of all, labor. Each copy of the Bible used 366 sheets of paper, folded so as to produce four printed pages. The pages were gathered into 123 signatures of six leaves each, which were then then arranged and sewn together. THIS BIBLE CONTAINS; The Original 1611 New Testament Title Page, The Gospel According to S. Matthew, The Gospel According to S. Mark, The Gospel According to S. Luke, and The Gospel According to S. John, along with the first 3 pages of the Book of Acts. REFERENCES: A.S. Herbert, Historical Catalogue of Printed Editions of the English Bible, 1525-1961 (1968) number 319. Darlow-Moule 246.
