27 Poi vidi come un color di rame scintillante, simile in vista a fuoco, indentro di quella sembianza di trono, d’ogn’intorno, dalla sembianza de’ lombi di quell’uomo in su; parimente, dalla sembianza dei suoi lombi in giù, vidi come un’apparenza di fuoco, intorno al quale vi era uno splendore.


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.
