Payette Bible Series — 1611 Geneva Bible Black Letter
Ninth installment in Forsyth resident's remarkable collection
Bible
Charles Payette of Forsyth County carefully turns each leaf of the 1611 Geneva Bible Black Letter in search of the page with a most interesting provenance. This copy is the last Geneva Bible printed before the first edition of the now famous King James Bible. Payette had this Bible re-bound by the former queen’s binder, who commented that it was more finely sewn then any he had ever seen in his 40 years of working with 16th and 17th century books. - photo by Micah Green
FORSYTH COUNTY — The ninth installment of the Forsyth County News series on resident Charles Payette’s Bible collection examines a pristine 1611 Geneva Bible. This black letter quarto’s New Testament title is dated 1610, although the general title and tables are all dated 1611. Printed by Robert Barker, who was known as “the King’s Printer,” the printing coincides with the printing of the first King James Bible.
