It was both designed and engraved by him between 1740 and 1751. This is a fine, original example of the engraved art created by the eighteenth century German artist, Georg Heumann.

Jean Rodolphe Ostervald, Pasteur de L'Eglise Francoise de Basle (Pastor of the French Church of Basel) was born September First, 1687. A major Calvinist theologian, Ostervald wrote many books, including Les Devoirs des Communians (1765).

For centuries this translation (commonly known as the 'D'Ostervald Bible') provided a strong alternative to the King James version.
