Mons, Gaspard Migeot [Amsterdam, Daniel Elzevier], 1667. 2 volumes in-12, red morocco, Du Seuil decoration, decorated spine, inner wheel, gilt edges (contemporary binding).

Frontispiece finely engraved in intaglio by Van Schuppen after De Champagne, dated 1666. This famous translation of the Bible was undertaken by Antoine and Louis-Isaac Le Maistre de Sacy with the collaboration of Antoine and Robert Arnauld, Pierre Nicole, etc. If it was well received by the Jansenists, it was immediately condemned by the Vatican and the political and religious power in France.
