When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in the New World on November 11, 1620, they brought along supplies, a consuming passion for religious liberty and advancing the Christian Faith. Clearly, their most precious cargo was the Bible –– specifically, the 1599 Geneva Bible. The trading establishment they were heading to before they were blown off course to Massachusetts, Jamestowne, had also brought with them this same 1599 Edition.

All but forgotten in our day, this version of the Bible was the most widely read and influential Bible in the English language of the 16th and 17th centuries. A superb translation, it was the product of the best scholars of the day and became the Bible of choice for many of the greatest writers and thinkers of that time. Men such as William Shakespeare, John Bunyan, and John Milton used the Geneva Bible in their writings. William Bradford cited the Geneva Bible in his famous book Of Plymouth Plantation.

The Geneva Bible was first printed by Rowland Hall in 1560, and “conteyned the Olde and Newe Testament.” Often referred to as “the Breeches Bible” due to the translation of Genesis 3:7, a 2nd and 3rd edition would quickly follow in 1562 and 1570. But it is the 1599 Geneva Edition that Tolle Lege Press has been honored to obtain in its entirety, and after painstakingly typesetting, updating spelling and punctuation, printed for the modern scholar of the Scriptures to own for themselves!

Leaving intact word-for-word all notes and Scriptures as the Reformers left it, the 1599 Geneva Bible is America’s greatest treasure!
