Amsterdam : Sauzet ; La Haye : Pierre de Hondt, 1720-1739. Ten volumes (complete), octavo (200 x 130 mm), uniform contemporary bindings of vellum over boards, spines with titles and volume numbers in early manuscript; VI-[1]-LXX-592 pp., 4 pl. + [5]-554-[86] pp., 15 pl. + [12]-XIV-[6]-494 pp., 1 pl. + [4]-563 pp., 5 pl. + [30]-486 pp. + [4]-558 pp + [14]-651 pp., + [4]-708 pp., + [2]-XXVI-[2]-622 pp., + [4]-564 pp.; the first two volumes have engraved frontispieces, all title pages in red and black, decorative head- and tailpieces, latter volumes with historiated initials; text in French; all bindings firm and in fine condition, contents clean and fresh throughout. A superb set of the octavo editions of Saurin s monumental Bible commentary with engraved illustrations by B. Picart, Jonkman, Wandelaar, Pool and Otten. Although not as lavishly illustrated as the better known six-volume folio edition (La Haye : Pierre de Hondt, 1728-1739), the octavo editions are rarely found as a complete ten-volume set.
