Ancient Vulgate, Holy Bible (sixtus-clementine), Venice 1727, Sixtus V, Clement VIII

This book is an antique edition of the Holy Bible (Vulgate), specifically the Vulgata Sistino-Clementina, printed in Venice in 1727 by the publisher Nicola Pezzana.
The title page in Latin provides important historical and editorial details about the work:
* The Text: Biblia Sacra Vulgatae Editionis (The Holy Bible of the Vulgate Edition), that is, the historic Latin translation of the Bible primarily carried out by St. Jerome in the 4th century.
* The Popes: Sixti V. Pontificis Max. jussu recognita, et Clementis VIII. Auctoritate edita (Revised by order of Pope Sixtus V and published under the authority of Clement VIII). This is the official version of the Catholic Church established at the end of the 16th century.
* Features: It is specified that the text is divided into verses (versiculis distincta), enriched with introductions to the individual chapters (singula capita argumentis aucta), containing numerous illustrations for a better historical understanding (pluribusque imaginibus...) and featuring an index of the Epistles and Gospels (indiceque Epistolarum, & Evangeliorum).
* Place and Date of Printing: At the bottom is the inscription Venetiis, MDCCXXVII (Venice, 1727), accompanied by the printer’s name, Apud Nicolaum Pezzana (At Nicola Pezzana’s). The Pezzanas were a renowned and prolific dynasty of Venetian printers and booksellers active throughout the 17th and 18th centuries.
The cover features a contemporary binding in full stiff parchment, typical of the 18th century, which is in excellent overall condition.
The covers appear flat and stable; the edges are well-preserved, and there are no noticeable deformations or serious structural damage. The page edges show a uniform patina of age.
