[Provenance Barendrecht] Biblia. Dat is De Gantsche heylige Schrifture (...).

The Hague/ Middelburg, C. Bouquet etc./ L. & J. Bakker, 1757, bound in contemporary polished calf with gilt-lettered "P[leun] de Raadt burgemeester van de beide Barendrechten en Karnisse" on front board, with two heavy copper clasps, 4to.

Leather across top hinge split and lacks several pieces of leather; with stamp of L.A. de Raadt, notary at Barendrecht, in several places. Signed for approval by W. Muilman in the "Acte van Consent en authorisatie". After the bible the Boek der Psalmen (1774, with approval in pen by W. Muilman Willemsz.), the Evangelische Gezangen (1821, with approval by J.A. Lotze) and the Catechismus (undated) are bound along. Extensively on Pleun de Raadt (1788-1870): https://tinyurl.com/y8k7wnz3. From 1825 to 1836 De Raadt was mayor of West-Barendrecht and Carnisse and from 1827 to 1836 also mayor of Oost-Barendrecht. This bible therefore has to have been bound between 1827 and 1836.
