[Psalms, Protestantism] George Buchanan, Théodore de Bèze, Psalmorum Davidis paraphrasis poetica nunc primum edita, authore Georgio Buchanano, Scoto, poetarum nostri saeculi facile principe. Eiudem Davidis Psalmi aliquot a Th. B. V. versi. Psalmi aliquot in versus ite Graecos nuper a diversis translati. Geneve, Robert Estienne, 1565 or 1566. In-8, [8]-277-46p. First edition of this paraphrase of the psalms by the humanist George Buchanan (1506-1582). Also includes 6 psalms translated by Théodore de Bèze. The work is complete with 46 pages containing 20 Greek psalms translated by Frédéric Jamot, Florent Chrestien, Henri Estienne and an anonymous translator. One sheet is missing, probably censored: pages 265/266. This text must have posed a problem. A previous owner photocopied the missing pages from another copy, with page 266 crossed out. We haven't been able to find out what the problem was, but it must have been a translation considered bad by Protestants of the time. This leaf contained only epigrams (the psalms are therefore complete). Bound in full morocco à la Du Seuil, probably 17th century, spine decorated, edges gilt. Small loss to a headpiece and a corner, splits at the end of the spine. Light staining in the margin at the end of the book, reaching the text on the last pages. Very rare first edition, here in fine morocco.
