BIBLE. La Sainte Bible qui contient le Vieux testament, Revue & corrigée sur le texte hébreu & grec, par les Pasteurs & les Professeurs de l'Eglise de Geneve. Avec les argumens et les réflexions sur les chapitres de l'écriture sainte, et des notes par J. F. Ostervald... Cinquième édition, soigneusement revue & corrigée. [Followed by] Le Nouveau Testament, c'est-à-dire, la nouvelle alliance de notre seigneur Jésus-Christ, Revu & corrigé sur le texte grec... Neuchatel, Imprimerie de la Société Typographique, 1779. 2 volumes. 26 by 40 cm. Frontispiece-portrait-VIII-682 pages plus color folding map; (2)-326-(2)-337 to 671 pages. Contemporary full white vellum. A few minor stains, loss of a title-piece, otherwise very good condition of the binding. A few leaves slightly foxed, old restorations not missing on the title page of volume 1, small light marginal wetness on about ten leaves, otherwise very good condition. 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.
