Revised edition by J. van der Haghen of the authorised Dutch text of 1548 by Nicolaus van Winghe. Van Liesvelt published the first Dutch edition of the Bible in 1526 but his NT was based on the German version of Luther and the OT on the Latin Vulgate. In 1528 Vorsterman published a corrected edition, but the authorities were still not satisfied. Van Winghe was assigned to publish a new Bible, based upon J. Hentenius' edition of the Vulgate (1547). Van der Haghen's revised edition of this Bible was considered the standard Bible till the end of the century (over 17 editions were published). The woodcuts were printed from the blocks used for the 1548 edition (which came from Vorsterman's 1530 Bible), but some are new and are copies from Hans Holbein's 'Icones Historiarum Veteris Testamenti' (1547). The double-p. woodcut depicting the court of the Tabernacle, surrounded by the tents of the Twelve Tribes, the 2 full-p. woodcuts depict the Temple of Salomo and the 'House of Lebanon Forest'. - Belg.
