Second edition of the 'Deux Aes' Bible, first published at Emden in 1561-62 by Gillis van der Erven, translated from Luther's German, but here replacing some of the 1562 edition Germanisms into proper Dutch. This - in fact pirated - edition with 'improvements' was - much to Van der Erven's discontent - published without his approval, so he felt compelled to publish his own improved edition in 1565. The editions are not always clearly distinguished. - Le Long p. 731-2; Darlow & Moule 3293 note; Typ. Batava 565.
