BIBLE. Τῆς Καινῆς Διαθήκης ἂπαντα. Novum Testamentum. Ex bibliotheca Regia. Paris: Robert I Estienne, 1549. - 2 parts in one volume in-16, 16, red morocco, boards decorated with petit iron decoration, comprising in the center a rectangular compartment with lobed edges, decorated with filigreed scrolls and gilt dots surrounding a central rhombus, this compartment being inscribed in a central rectangle of three gilt fillets with compartmented corners decorated with filigreed gilt scrolls and gilt dots, gilt motif in the same spirit between the two compartments at the top and bottom, the whole set in a large frame composed of gilt filigree scrolls, and a gilt roulette on the outside, spine gilt, gilt edges on marbling (17th century binding). Delaveau-Hillard, " Bibles imprimées du XVe au XVIIIe siècle ", n° 3689. Second edition given by Robert I Estienne, following the first one of 1546, with the correction of errors mentioned in the errata . It is divided into two parts, the first including the Gospels, the second gathering the Pauline Epistles, the Catholic Epistles and the Apocalypse. Known as the "O mirificam" edition, referring to the opening words of the preface, it is printed entirely in the king's Greek type engraved by Claude Garamont for the Esteins. The title of each of the parts has the mark to the basilica which is the one dedicated to the printers of the king for the Greek letters. The mark of Robert Estienne appears on the back of the last leaf. Beautiful copy in a binding from the first half of the 17th century, from an unidentified workshop. The framing on the boards has been deliberately discolored and the compartments blackened, probably at a later time than the binding. Headcap torn off with the first box missing. Endpapers renewed, title rebacked. Staining on the title and some light staining on several leaves. Header margin a little short.
