[BIBLE - DUTCH].Biblia, dat is, de gantsche Heylige Schrifture, vervattende alle de canonijcke boecken des Ouden en des Nieuwen Testaments.      Leyden, heirs of Johannes Elzevier, 1663. 2 volumes. Folio. Contemporary black morocco over wooden boards, spines ribbed and richly gilt, with broad gilt decorative borders on sides and richly gilt borders around inner panel, with gilt ornaments at the four corners, the four inner corners filled with richly gilt ornamental design, and with large gilt ornament in centre, with in its blank inner square - gilt-divided in four - the fine gilt stamps of springing deer, richly gilt inner dentelles, g.e. (HERTEN-BINDERIJ, Rotterdam). With 2 engraved allegorical frontispieces, one for the Elsevier Bible and one for Picart's Print-Bible, engraved half-title for Picart's Print-Bible, 6 double-page engraved maps and plan of Jerusalem by Nic. Visscher in the Elsevier Bible, and 209 full-page (incl. 29 double-page, fine engraved plates by G. Hoet, B. Picart, etc. in the Print-Bible). [22], 468; [13, 1 blank], 167; [4], 77 [1 blank] ll. The famous Elsevier Bible, the only official Dutch bible printed in roman type instead of the traditional gothic, interleaved with Picart's folio Print-Bible Figures de la Bible (1720), the most sumptuous pictorial bible published in the Netherlands, here in the very rare earliest edition published by the artist himself, and both Bible and Print-Bible put together in two beautiful volumes, one for the Old and one for the New Testament, most luxuriously and splendidly produced by the so-called "Herten Binderij", active in Rotterdam at the beginning of the 18th century. A truly unique piece, combining the top results of all aspects of Dutch book production, Elsevier's printing, Picart's engravings, and a binding by the Rotterdam workshop the "Herten Binderij", undoubtedly the equal of Magnus. We are grateful to Dr J. Storm van Leeuwen for his kind information on the Rotterdam workshop the "Herten Binderij". Magnificent set.
