Geneva "Breeches" Bible 1595, W/ Apocrypha And Book Of Psalms:
This is a rare opportunity to own a wonderful Geneva Bible from 1595. It has been rebound in the 1800s. As such there have been a few page repairs. During this process, it appears that the back cover of this tome is original and was attached to a 17th century calf and 18th century mottled calf rebinding.
There are illustrations and some maps, throughout the book and a period inscription at the beginning of the Apocrypha.
