Adolph Visscher's Dutch translation of the Luther Bible in period binding. In 1648 Adolph Visscher of the Lutheran Church in Amsterdam revised a previous Mennonite translation of Luther's German Bible. This became the standard Bible or "State Bible" (Statenbijbel) of Dutch Lutherans. This 1702 printing is a revision of Visscher's Bible translation, which was in use, occasionally revised, until 1951. Illustrated throughout with engravings by Romeyn de Hooghe of the Rubens School, the engravings represent some of the most significant for the Dutch book illustrator. This suite of illustrations was bound in a number of different translations and editions of the Bible during this period. Progress in the knowledge of biblical languages as well as the development of biblical refutation increased the demand for new versions of the Dutch Bible In fact, a Keur translation of the "States Bible" appeared this same year. This is a historical state of Visscher's Dutch "States translation," also known as the Lindenberg edition, which was in fact a universally accepted Protestant Bible, this volume maintaining the four original maps, some of the finest to appear in 18th century bibles.…
