Note: Eighteen years after the impressive folio Great Bible was published, a small octavo Bible was published in Geneva. This 1557 New Testament marked the beginning of a Bible that, according to Cleland Boyd McAfee, “drove the Great Bible off the field by sheer power and excellence.” The Bible of the people, the Geneva Bible was known as the first study Bible with its famous Geneva notes becoming so popular that they were inserted into seven subsequent editions of the King James Bibles in the seventeenth century. The Bible was printed in a Roman font that was easy to read, with woodblock illustrations that invited the reader into copious study, and in a comfortable quarto size that made it comfortable for transport. The Geneva Bible remained the unrivaled translation for English speaking people well into the 1600s until it was finally pushed out by political and economic pressure.
