Bible - Amsterdam, 1659-1661

First edition of the Bible edited by Johannes Leusden who also wrote the Latin introduction which appears after the proofreaders' Hebrew introduction. This edition was proofread in line with earlier printings and for many years was deemed the most accurate edition of the Bible.

Leaves 209-234 containing the Five Megillot found in Vol. 1 were reprinted in the middle of Vol. 2 after the title page of Ketuvim. 17-18 cm. Good condition. Light-toned paper. Stains. Inscriptions and several notations (in Latin). New leather bindings.
