From 1636 to 1646, he was also active in Leiden, where he printed the first Statenbijbel (Dutch Authorized Version of the Bible) in 1636. After his death in 1655, his widow continued the business, and the printing of Bibles, until 1662. The Bible pictured below (click to enlarge) was printed in 1660.
