Prepared for use among French Canadians and French émigrés in the U.S., this is the first printing in America of a complete Testament, either Old or New, in French. It is a scarce work and is considered one of the dozen Bibles forming the foundation of any collection of American Bibles. The translation is a standard one that first appeared in 1667, although it was shortly thereafter (in 1669) condemned by Clement IX as Jansenist and placed on the Index. “L.M. de Sacy” is the nom de plume of Isaac (“Sacy” being an anagram) de Le Maistre, a reformer of Port-Royal.
