Condition: very good / fine - neat original band (crease at the front slightly thin as often, but front cover firmly attached), one clasp missing; very neat, compact, and sturdy block; very neat, fresh, and white paper (last five pages have a small tear in the bottom margin, otherwise very neat, clean, and fresh paper: like new). Complete.

The Bible contains the entire Bible with full annotations and 5 large maps.

A very neat and complete copy of the scarce so-called 'Flakkeesse' Statenbijbel (printed in Middelharnis).
Based on Ravesteyn's edition of 1657.
This edition of the Statenbijbel is the most Bible-faithful source-oriented translation.

Very beautiful specimen with blind stamping and heavy brass fittings from a rare edition of the Statenbijbel in large format!

A collector's item and a must-have for serious collectors of (state) Bibles!

Note: earlier, a less attractive item without a clasp was auctioned on CW for 315 euros.
