1599 Geneva Bible: Old Testament

Description: About this item: 1599 Geneva Bible - Old Testament - Vol. 1. (Genesis - 2 Chronicles) The Geneva Bible, or "Breeches Bible," based on its text of Genesis 3:7, was translated from scholarly editions of the Greek New Testament and the Hebrew Scriptures that comprise the Old Testament. The Geneva Bible was translated and printed by a number of reformation scholars who fled from England to Geneva, Switzerland in the 1550’s. The completed New Testament translation was published in Scotland in 1557 and the first full edition in 1560. The Geneva Bible was printed in England with a revised New Testament in 1575 and the Old Testament in 1576. The 1599 Geneva Bible and future editions contained a new "Junius" version of the Book of Revelation, in which the notes were translated from a new Latin commentary by Franciscus Junius. The Geneva Bible was brought to America with the passengers of the Mayflower. The font used for this volume is a contemporary font that best matches the original font used in 1599. For example, "u" could be shown as "v". The text also follows the original spelling used in the 1599 edition which may appear as a typographical error. The text in this volume is true to the original text as much as possible.
