The Bible, that is the holy Scriptures conteined in the Olde and Newe Testament, Translated According to the Ebrew and Greeke. [Amsterdam? late 16th century or early 17th century]. On the title page: London: Deputies of Christopher Barker, 1599. English.
The Geneva Bible is one of the earliest English translations of the Bible, and the first to be divided into verses (the division into chapters was done earlier). The Bible was translated by Protestant scholars, who escaped England due to the persecutions of Queen Mary, who tried to bring England back to Catholic Christianity, and found refuge in Protestant Geneva. After the crowning of Queen Elizabeth I (in early 1559) and the return to Anglican Christianity in England, a complete edition of the Geneva Bible was printed for the first time (Geneva, 1560); in 1575, this Bible was printed for the first time in England. The Geneva Bible became very popular and was widely distributed; by the mid-17th century, over a hundred and fifty different editions were printed.
The book includes woodcuts (including illustrations of biblical scenes), tables, references and introductions, and a foreword for each chapter.
Several different editions of the Geneva Bible are known to use the imprint "London 1599". These editions differ from one another, and many of them were in fact printed during the 17th century. This edition was possibly printed in Amsterdam ca. 1599 or slightly later, as one of the editions intended for English Puritans in the Low Countries.
