Christ’s earthly ministry in the Phillip Medhurst Bible 112 of 550 Jesus heals the paralytic Mark 2:4 Marillier on Flickr. An illustration from “La Sainte Bible, contenant l’Ancien et le Nouveau Testament, traduite en français sur la vulgate, par M. Le Maistre de Saci. Nouvelle édition, ornée de 300 Figures, Gravées (par les plus habiles artistes, sous la direction du C. Ponce), d’après les Dessins de M. Marillier” – featuring also designs by Nicolas-André Monsiau (see Cohen below). Publication of this twelve-volume French Bible was initiated in 1789. It was completed fifteen years later with a luxurious program of 300 illustrations in the neoclassical style. These were engraved under the direction of Nicolas Ponce (1746–1831) after designs by Clément Pierre Marillier (1740–1808) and Nicolas-André Monsiau (1754–1837). Cohen, in his “Guide de l’Amateur de Livres à Gravures du XVIIIe siècle”, adds: “En tout 300 figures (204 pour l’Ancien et 96 pour le Nouveau Testament), par Marillier et Monsiau, gravées par Dambrun, de Launay jeune, Delignon, Dupréel, de Ghendt, Giraud jeune, Halbou, Hubert, Lebeau, Patas, Petit, Ponce, Trière, Varin et Viguet, et 1 carte repliée.” A print from the Phillip Medhurst Collection at St. George’s Court, Kidderminster.
