(1531). BIBLE. LE SECOND VOLUME DE LA BIBLE EN FRANÇOIS. Imprimée ceste Bible en françoys hystoriée pour Pierre Bailly à Lyon, l'an de Grâce 1531. Gothic folio of [8]-173 leaves, blond calf, ornate ribbed spine (18th century binding). Only the second part of this very beautiful Gothic Bible from Lyon, printed on 2 columns and illustrated with 2 LARGE WOODWORKS AND NUMEROUS VIGNETTES, a number of which are repeated. The title, printed in red and black, is remarkably well printed. At the end of the work, we note the presence of small woodcuts and large woodcut initials, certainly by Guilhem II Leroy (material already used in the missal à l'usage de Lyon edited by Claude Davoust for J. Huguetan in 1510). Boards rubbed, corners dulled, jaws split. Interior in perfect condition (Baudrier II, 2) (USTC, 12666) (Chambers n°55) (Bechtel p. 68).
