Norembergae : per lo Petreium 1529 - Biblia sacra utriusque Testamenti, iuxta uetere traslationem, qua hucusque Latina utitur Ecclesia, ex antiquissimis ac recetioribus exeplaribus diligentissime collatis & sicubi dissentiebat cosultis fontibus, hoc est, hebraeis et graecis uoluminibus adhibitis, fidelissime restituta, Norembergae : per lo Petreium, 1529, engraved title page, unpaginated, some mild, light staining to the bottom margins of approximately 1/3 the text block (never entering the text itself), just a few pages with some occasional underling and/or with hand written notes in the margins, f.e.p. filled with handwritten dates (from 1516 thru 1547) and notations to each, some loss of leather to the fore edge corners and small areas of the spine, bookplate of Howard Pease, an antiquarian bookseller from the Otterburn Tower in Northumberland on the f.p.d., else a most pleasing copy of this strangely scarce bible (no copies have appeared at auction for over 33 years that we could locate) in what appears to most certainly be a contemporary 16th century full leather binding with raised spine and decorative blind stamping to both the front and rear covers. Text in latin.
