Description from the seller
Sacra Biblia Vulgatae Editionis – Lyon, Claude Bourgeat – 1669
Important Latin Bible of the 17th century:
Biblia Sacra Vulgatae Editionis, at the order of Sixtus V, Pontifex Maximus, examined and printed
Lugduni [Lyon], at the expense of Claude Bourgeat, under the sign of Mercury of Gallus, 1669.
Beautiful Lyonnaise edition of the Vulgate, printed during the reign of Louis XIV.
Volume of large size, about 30 × 22 cm, preserved in its old full leather binding. Spine with raised bands richly decorated with compartments and gilded fleurons, with title piece “BIBLIA SACRA”.
The work is illustrated notably by a fine engraved frontispiece, a title page printed in red and black with an engraved vignette, as well as an important heraldic composition accompanying the dedication to Camille de Neufville, archbishop of Lyon.
Latin text printed mainly in two columns, accompanied by numerous references and marginal annotations. Presence of drop caps, typographic ornaments and the printer/publisher’s mark.
Bibliographic collotype: [16] + 1056 + 25 pages.
The final pages especially include the various indexes, including the Index Testimoniorum and the Index Omnium, with the final note FINIS.
Presence of a few old hand annotations, notably on the title page, providing additional testimony to the history of this copy.
Condition: copy showing the normal marks of its more than 350 years. Binding heavily rubbed with leather wear, especially at corners, casings, joints and raised bands, with a few small losses. Gilding on the spine still clearly visible. Some soiling, browning, stains and small marginal tears may be present. The interior appears overall well preserved, with bright paper and very legible print. See carefully the photographs, which are part of the description.
