Title: Biblia Sacra, 16th Century
Author: Catholic Church
Publisher: Probably Lugduni, Apud Gulielmum Rouillium
Condition: Poor
An unidentified and heavily illustrated edition of what is likely the Lyonnese edition of the Louvain Bible, printed in France. As the title page is lacking, it is a bit difficult to discern the exact 16th century imprint.
There are several hundred woodcuts throughout, including a fragmentary map.
The title page, as well as 10 of the other preliminary pages are lacking.
One vellum bound volume in quarto, (4 of 16)+1214+(98) pages
This volume is in poor shape, with some rubbing and staining to the binding, with the spine bowed. The text block is partially detached, holding by several cords. There is worming to pages 199-374, and 923-950, with some text loss. The folding map is fragmentary. The first and last pages are heavily worn, with some text loss. There is foxing and staining throughout.
