Geneva 1581 Bible 02

Some pictures of an incomplete copy of the 1581 printing of the Geneva "Breeches Bible". The translation was done in Geneva, but this later edition was printed in England. It's called the Breeches bible because adam and eve, seeing they were naked, sewed themselves breeches out of figleaves. Many translations of the Bible are known for the errors in them, and this is no exception

This is the opening of John's Gospel.

If there's a verse or page you'd like me to try and scan or photograph, let me know. I can't do the whole thing, it'd take forevver and fill up DeviantArt's servers so if I'm overloaded I'll demand a picture of you in bare feet in exchange.

This image scaled down hugely, as it was going to be over 750KBytes otherwise, which seemed a lot.

You can use the images here in any work on DeviantArt (including prints) without needing any permission or paying any fee; I ask that you let me know when you use a piece so I can link back to it.

You can use the pieces non-commercially for any purpose whatsoever; again I'd like a link back if possible.

You can use the pieces commercially, but in this case you must send me a copy of the finished work, and the cost is that you must go entirely barefoot for a day, i.e. all the time for 24 hours. OK, I'm weird. Live with it.
