Reprint of the Geneva version of the Old Testament, first issued in 1560, translated by William Whittingham, Anthony Gilby, Thomas Sampson, and perhaps others, with Laurence Tomson's revision of the Geneva version of the New Testament and his translation of Franciscus Junius' translation of Revelation. Interestingly, the Geneva Bible is also referred to as the "Breeches Bible," named for its unique translation of Genesis 3:7, which states that Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves together to make "breeches" instead of aprons. The Booke of Common Prayer is bound before the Bible. ESTC S122320; Herbert 289; STC 2199.
