[BIBLE - French]. La Sainte Bible, qui contient L'Ancien et le Nouveau Testament.

A Amsterdam. Chez Pierre Mortier, [1699]. Nouvelle edition reveu sur les textes Hebreux & Grecs par les Pasteurs et Professeurs de Geneve.
12mo. Signatures: A-3O6, 3P2. Without the New Testament (A-S6, T10), clearly never bound into this volume. With an engraved general title page. Contemporary richly gilt-tooled black calf, A.E.G. Extremities rubbed. Marbled endpapers, margins closely trimmed - occasional shaving to chapter titles at head, horizontal tear and partial naive paper repair to leaf T4 - touching text without loss of sense.
A handsomely bound copy of the finely printed French translation of the Geneva Bible produced by Pieter Mortier (1661-1711), prominent Dutch publisher remembered primarily as a mapmaker and engraver.
