Ancient Bible

1546 Greek New Testament

First Edition of the Greek Testament printed by Robert Estienne, and the first book printed in Claude Garamond's second font of the "grecs du roi" (cf. n 77). This first Estienne Greek Testamend and the second of 1549 are commonly known as the "O mirificam" editions, from the opening words of Robert's preface to Francois I, praising him for comminssioning the second Greek font in order to provide Greek texts in pocket format.

Robert established his text by comparing the Complutensian and Erasmian printed editions with several manuscripts.

 


Please Note:  This is a low-resolution photo, which shows the format, but makes reading the text nearly impossible.  In reality, the text of these Bibles is large enough and clear enough to read very easily.
