[BIBLE] [MINUSCULE] [TYPOGRAPHY] Tes Kaines Diathekes Ahanta [Τεσ Καινεσ Διαθεκεσ Αηαντα] Novum Iesu Christi Domini Nostri Testamentum
Ioannis Ioanni, Sedani [Sedan] 1628, in-32 (4,5x8,5 cm), 571 pp., bound.
First edition of this minuscule Bible in Greek printed by Jean Jannon and entirely composed in “petite sedanoise”. Jannon custom made the Greek type for this edition.
Bound in full red morocco by Simier.
Trained in the press of Robert Estienne, Protestant publisher Jean Jannon took refuge in Sedan in northeastern France, which became a principality after the Edict of Nantes.
There he invented the “petite sedanoise”, a very fine and legible typograph especially suited for printing very small books.
Provenance: Library of Charles-Louis Frossard de Nîmes, pastor of the Reformed Church of France and archivist of the General Synod, with his bookplate pasted to the back of the first endpaper. Another handwritten bookplate below: “A. Lavarde – 72, rue Claude Bernard Paris – 1913”.
Rare copy of this very first minuscule New Testament in Greek, an outstanding technical achievement at the time.
