What Our Customers Say...

Description

Leather Binding, Very Scarce

An extremely scarce edition of the New Testament. This work is Beza's Latin new Testament. This edition is closely cropped at the edges and therefore the date is hard to decipher. Date to spine states 1713. There are no 1713 editions published by Bowyer and sold by the Stationer's company on ESTC or Copac for 1713. Different title page but same sheets as 1725 edition published by Bowyer. William Bowyer was liveryman of The Stationers' and Newspaper Makers' Company and one of the twenty printers allowed by the Star Chamber. With the bookplate of one Betan W J Hall to front pastedown. Theodore Beza was a French protestant Christian theologian. He played a very important role in the Reformation.
