ET: Biblia, that is the entire Holy Scripture, containing all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament. According to the edition of the States Translation published in 1657 by the Widow of Paulus Aertsz van Ravesteyn and rendered in contemporary language by Dr. A. Kuyper with the assistance of Dr. H. Bavinck and Dr. F.L. Rutgers. With textual cross-references and maps.

This edition in 8º format is the smallest of the three editions (see 1895.11 and 1898.10). It was intended for use in churches, homes, and schools. The edition leaves out the annotations (see 1895.11) as well as the prints of biblical scenes and the figurative images that encompassed the first capital letter of each book in the 1895.11 edition. This edition does retain the intratextual biblical references and the sporadic notes that clarify the editors’ selection of textual variants.

At the back of the Bible, together with a lithography depicting biblical antiquities, are four maps (identical to 1895.11) drawn by Prof. Dr. J. Woltjer and chromo-lithographically printed by the Kamper Boek- en Steendrukkerij Ph. Zalsman. The maps could not be delivered on time because the printer had received the assignment “to print 5x10,000 maps” only at the beginning of May (cf. De Standaard, no. 7449, June 19, 1896). An edition lacking the maps was published in June 1896. However, most who purchased this edition of the Bible waited until a version with maps had been printed, especially since there was little price difference between the two versions. The inclusion of maps in this edition, moreover, did not raise the theological objections that the first edition, with its printed images, had provoked. The assigned number of chromolithographic maps gives an indication of the print run for the edition.

The revised edition of the prayer book (see 1897.18) could be included for a supplemental fee.
