BIBLE PROTESTANTE: LA BIBLE qui est toute la saincte Escriture du vieil et nouveau Testament, autrement l'ancienne et la nouvelle Alliance. Le tout reveu et confère sur les textes hebrieux et grecs par les pasteurs et docteurs de l'Église de Genève. Avec un nouvel indice par lieux communs. Item les Pseaumes et Cantiques avec les Prières ecclésiastiques. La Rochelle, de l'imprimerie de H. Haultin par C. Hertman, 1616. 2 parts in 1 large volume in-8° of [4]-350-[80]-80-113-[15] leaves, half blond calf, very ornate ribbed spine (19th century binding). Bible based on the Olivétan translation (1506-1538) with a preface and notes by Th. de Bèze. This is the first French translation based on the original Hebrew (for the Old Testament) and Greek (for the New Testament) texts. It is illustrated with several in-text woodcuts, as well as a title page in the center of a portico with the Virgin Mary on the left and a saint reading on the right. The printing of this text was made possible by the 1598 Edict of Nantes, which authorized the distribution of Reformed books in the only strongholds granted to Protestants (La Rochelle, Cognac, Montauban and La Charité sur Loire). With preface by Théodore de Bèze "À tous vrais amateurs de la vérité de Dieu". Published with the "Pseaumes de David" in the Marot-Bèze version, which has its own dated title page. Repair to one leaf with loss of a few words.
