Neat and charming copy of a very rare, early (second) edition of the Statenvertaling by Francoys Lieshout / Amsterdam, Theunis Jacobsz, ende Jan Fredericksz Stam, and company.

Very large and heavy state Bible!
Curious: the Old Testament was printed by a different printer than the New Testament and the Apocrypha!

Only the printer Ravenstein had a license to print Bibles, this edition is a so-called pirate print (illegal Bible print) .

Must-have for collectors of rare state Bibles.
