This is one of the numerous editions of the Genevan Version or Breeches Bible. It has in part the original binding, and is lettered on the back, Breeches Bible. The title and one other leaf are mounted and a few leaves at the beginning are mended. The New Testament, according to the title-page was “translated out of Greeke by Theod. Beza... Eng- lished by L. Tomson.” It is called Tomson’s Version. The Old Testa- ment was translated by several of the English exiles at Geneva.
