summary

An uncommon imprint by a member of the illustrious Estienne family of printers. Vinograd only records a complete Bible printed by Carolus in the years 1555-6. He does not list this volume, which was printed separately and not as part of the set. According to Renouard, this was Carolus Stephanus’s first publication

pp.79. Generally, a clean wide-margined copy. Recent vellum. Lg. 4to
