Pagination changes from 326 to 337, with no gaps. New edition of this famous Bible, revised by Jean-Frédéric Ostervald after David Martin's translation of the Olivétan Bible. Ostervald completed his version in 1744, and it became the most widely used Bible in Protestant churches until the end of the nineteenth century. Its interest lies in the commentaries and reflections Ostervald added. The edition is illustrated with a copperplate frontispiece by Billé after Le Barbier, a copperplate portrait of Ostervald after Henchoz, a vignette at the head of Genesis and a large color map. These two compositions by Le Barbier are first editions, each dated 1778. Bonne's folded color map of the twelve tribes of Israel is taken from an Atlas published in Paris by Lattré. The New Testament has its own title but continuous pagination, unlike previous editions. A rare edition of this renowned Protestant Bible.
