BIBLE, in Greek -- Tes Kaines Diathekes Hapanta [in Greek] Novum Iesu Christi Nostri Testamentum. Ex Regiis aliisque optimis editionibus cum cura expressum, Sedan: John Jannon, 1629. 85 x 47mm., Greek text (slight browning), later calf (corners rubbed).

This is the the only book Jannon printed in Greek. H. T. Sheringham comments: "It is, indeed, with the seventeenth century that the practicability of making a collection of miniature books really begins ... The most famous specimens of all are the little series from the press of John Jannon at Sedan."
