"This is a well made and readable reprint of the 1599 edition of the Geneva Bible. Instead of the 1560 commentary on Revelation, it has the rather vehement and anti-Catholic, but historically interesting. commentary of Junius on that book. The Apocrypha are listed on the table of contents, but were apparently not reproduced, either in the facsimile or in the edition this is copied from.
This Bible would be interesting and useful to people interested in the history of Protestant thought in England, and students of the literature of the period." (from amazon.com customer review)
Although all editions of the Geneva Bible contain certain marginal notes and comments of the reformers, editions from 1599 onwards contain the most extensive and 'Calvinistic' marginal notes of all editions of the Geneva Bible. This edition also includes occasional marginal illustrations and tables.
A great resource for the serious student.
