Biblia, dat is De gantsche H. Schrifture, [With]: Historie des Ouden en Nieuwen Testaments, bestaande in Twee Honderd Twee en. Dordrecht: Hendrik and Jacob Keur and Amsterdam: Marcus Doornick, 1682. Folio (455 x 285 mm). 4 parts in one volume. Engraved title, 19, 302; 2, 134; title, 11, 164; 2, 134; title, 1, 66 leaves. 6 double-page engraved maps and 6 double-page plates each with 16 vignettes, ALL FINELY COLORED BY A CONTEMPORARY HAND AND HEIGHTENED IN GOLD. Contemporary Dutch calf gilt, central lozenge and corners made-up from small tolls, border of bird and grapes roll-tools. Corner pieces and claps renewed in antique style, spine ends neatly restored. Some maps and plates with minor repairs to margins and folds, first few leaves and first plate with extended margins, some plates mounted on renewed stubs, first part with B7 and L4 torn and repaired with minor loss to text, a few marginal tears and repairs, occasional browning to text. A fine copy of a later Keur edition of the so called "Staten Bijbel," the States General Bible, the official protestant translation of the Bible into Dutch, established in 1618-1619 at the Synode of Dortrecht. The deluxe issues of this Bible with its maps and vignettes magnificently colored and heightened in gold are rare on the market. In this copy the world map, showing California as a island (Shirley, World, 513) is adapted from the Visscher world map of 1658 (Shirley 406), using the elaborate border decoration from Visscher, with the map printed at a slightly reduced size (360 x 470 mm). The other maps added to the Bible are St Paul's journeys around the Mediterranean, a plan of Jerusalem, and 3 other elaborate maps of the Holy Land. The 96 engraved vignette illustrations appear only in select copies of this bible and are printed by Frederick de Wit after Merian and Danckerts. Portman I, 155.
