Geneva Bible

a translation of the Bible into English, made and published at Geneva, chiefly by English Protestant refugees. It was the first English Bible which adopted the Roman instead of the obsolescent black type, and the first which recognized the division into verses; it was the first also which omitted the Apocrypha. From its stating, in Gen. iii: 7, that our first parents made themselves "breeches," it is sometimes called the Breeches Bible.
