Description

In 1552, in an unprecedented action by a printer, Estienne published this response to the Sorbonne's condemnations, offering an introductory account of his two decades of conflict with the Parisian censors and a point-for-point defense of his Bible. This copy was inscribed by an early owner, Jean-Frédéric Ostervald (1663–1747), a leading Swiss Protestant theologian whose French translation of the Bible appeared in 1744.
