In Anlehnung an die Übersetzung Luthers in eine süddeutsch-schweizerische Sprachform gebrachte Bibel oder landläufig „Zürcher Bibel“ genannte Ausgabe. Der Buchschmuck entspricht fast vollständig der zweiten Folio-Ausgabe. Die Textholzschnitte meist nach Zeichnungen von H. Holbein d. J. stammen vom Formschneider „VS“, den Leeman-van Elck als Veit Specklin identifiziert. - Der verzögerte Druck des ersten Teils resultierte aus einer Textrevision, die nötig geworden war. In der Vorrede geht Froschauer darauf ein. Außerdem ist eine umfangreiche Vorrede vorgebunden, in der die biblische Weisheit gegen alle Anfechtungen verteidigt wird. Dieser Text wird nach neuesten Forschungen H. Bullinger zugeschrieben. - Es sei noch auf einige schweizerische Besonderheiten hingewiesen: Die Abbildung auf Blatt CCCXII (verso) im dritten Teil zeigt im Hintergrund die Stadtsilhouette von Luzern; die Initiale auf Blatt LXXXV (recto) im zweiten Teil Wilhelm Tell und den Apfelschuss. Diese Ausgabe hat sich also nicht nur textlich von ihrem Vorbild der Luther-Übersetzung entfernt. - Obwohl die Auflagen der drei Folio-Ausgaben wohl ziemlich hoch waren - es wurden jeweils vermutlich um die 3000 Exemplare gedruckt - sind alle drei Auflagen selten; besonders komplette und gut erhaltene Exemplare tauchen kaum noch auf.

Sie ist in Süddeutschland, Basel und dem Elsaß wohl die verbreitetste deutsche illustrierte Bibel gewesen, vorab in vermöglicheren Familien ...

Flaubert's extensive manuscript notes are entitled Un repas de noces - Lettre d'Hyppolochus a Lincée ('A wedding meal - Letter from Hyppolochus to Lincée') and were prepared by the novelist as research notes for chapter one ('The Feast') of his historical novel Salammbo. The text states, in part, (translated) 'Caranus making a nuptial feast in Macedonia invited twenty parasites there. As soon as they were seated at table each of them was given a bottle of silver. They had each received before entering the room a gold band estimated at five gold Ecus….. For us happy for the rest of our days, with what we took from the feast of Caranus, we seek goods, country houses, slaves to buy, with the presents with which he has showered us'. Rare in this form.

Enormously popular in its day, the novel opens with a feast to celebrate the victory of the battle of Eryx, won against Rome, and was praised for its style and story.
