Known as a "Breeches Bible", drawing its name from the fact that in the seventh verse of the third chapter of Genesis, the statement is made that Adam and Eve "knew that they were naked, and they sewed figge tree leaves together, and made for themselves breeches", where in others it is "and made themselves aprons".
