It was the world of 47 scholars who translated it 'out of the original tongues' of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, 'with the former translations diligently compared and revised.' Part of their work was done in the ancient University City of Cambridge.One of the 'former translations' was the Geneva Bible, so called because the translations was carried out by English-speaking exiles living in Geneva, Switzerland.

A text Bible that would sit well on any bookshelf or pew. This attractively priced Bible is one of our most popular editions and is used widely by Bible and literature students alike.
