A French Bible translation by Nicolas le Gros, a Jansenist theologian who fled to Holland in 1726 due to his religious views. This translation was one of the most widely read in France, second only to the de Sacy translation. The frontispiece is an engraved title page by Bernard Picart. This copy is lacking the final four pages, 881 through 884.

Bound in full leather with gilt ruling to the boards and spine.

Very good condition. Minor shelf wear, bumped corners, and minor foxing throughout. As noted, the final four pages are lacking. Very Good. Item #122
