Contemporary Italian red morocco, covers with two outer gilt floral panels, central panel built up from small semi-circle, dot, leaf and floral tools, spine in seven compartments, with six raised bands, gilt-lettered in one, a repeated floral panel in the remaining, board edges and turn-ins gilt, edges gilt, comb-marbled endleaves (some very light wear at ends of spines, a few small stains on covers, front endleaves frayed at edges). Provenance: Estelle Doheny (morocco bookplate; purchased from Maggs Bros., London, 31 August 1944) -- donated to SMS 1944.
Second edition of Diodati's Bible, revised, and with the commentary enlarged. Diodati translated his first edition of 1607 directly from the Hebrew and Greek.
