The Treveris is a unique typesetting from Schuyler that seeks to give the Bible reader a format that is free of human commentary, i.e. without subheadings, references, etc., but at the same time remains practical for Bible study. The text itself is free from callers, subheadings, and numbers, but verse and chapter designations are available in the margins, with subheadings in the header.

I will admit upfront I am not a fan of the ESV; as long as the NKJV and NASB exist, and thanks to Schuyler’s beautiful revivals of the original RSV, the ESV will be at least 4th on my choice of Bible. All that said as a preface to my glowing and high recommendation for the ESV Treveris edition.
Since 2017, when my church began using ESV for teaching and preaching, I have been on the hunt for an edition of this translation that was unique and beautiful, handy size with readable font (yes, first- world problem, but Crossway’s font I find ugly to point of distraction). So, thank you Schuyler for giving the world the Treveris! I own two, in Slate and Blue, and love everything about the layout—the single column text, the verse numbers on the side, the elegant artistic caps that begin each chapter (that give it an antique and heirloom look), the generous yapp, and the smaller size than Quentel without giving up readable font size—this is by far the best ESV on the market produced by any publisher, and when it is my turn to lead men’ s study or teach Sunday school I have an ESV I am in love with!
Now, how about a NKJV edition…just asking!

A Bible with beautiful details and quality construction that will last for many, many years of reading and study.
The Dark Slate goatskin leather contrasts well with the red liner, ribbons and text highlights. The full Yapp enhances the visual look both closed and open whilst protecting the art gilding. The drop caps starting each chapter add visual elements throughout. The font is highly legible and a good size for reading at arms length or on the lap. The pages are thin but remain opaque, however the 28 gsm paper crinkles easier than the 36gsm. There is a double column concordance and Bible maps with index in the back.
This Bible is utterly beautiful in so many ways. Most importantly of all, I delight in reading God’s Words from it daily. Thank you Schuyler for publishing such a wonderful Bible.

This truly is a wonderful Bible. The Slate color is by far my favorite color Schuyler offers. You may hear how others say “it seems to change colors in different lighting.” This is true and it’s wonderful.
The way the Treveris is laid out is exactly what I have been looking for in a devotional Bible. For my daily reading I like to read several chapters at a time and the Treveris makes this a wonderful experience without the traditional line breaks.
If you’ve never owned a Schuyler let me tell you the quality is far superior than the premium lines you will find from Zondervan, Crossway, etc. I own several of their premium Bibles, but none compare to Schuyler. The thickness of the leather, the precise stitching, the perfect corner work, and the overall appearance is just superior. You are definitively getting what you are paying for.
My only complaint, which is one shared by a good many is the 28gsm paper shared by the Quentel series. I would gladly trade for a thicker Bible in order to have a little bit more thicker and durable paper. While it is very nice and ghosting is not much of a problem with the line matching feature, you can tell that a page too quickly turned is going to result in a ripped page. I try not even to use the ribbons to open to passages as I feel it is too rough on the thin paper.
However, don’t let that stop you from a purchase, it is a very small detail in a very large group of positive details. You will be blessed with a purchase of an ESV Treveris.

I wanted a Readers Bible to complement my Crossway Heirloom ESV study Bible and so I bought this Bible (in Grey) and it even exceeded my high expectations from the reviews I had read and viewed about it. The goatskin cover, the binding and paper are of the highest quality and the 10 point Font ideal for me. I plan to use this not only for reading long sections of the Bible but also for when I take my Bible out of the house since it is much more portable than my study Bible (and the case it comes with is suitable for this purpose too).
I started off using it by reading the whole book of Daniel in one sitting. Since there are no numbers or letters within the text the Bible reading is very different experience – ideal for reading a book or two in one sitting in a fresh way. My only problem now is that this is a personal Christmas present to myself so I now have it tucked away in a draw in my study!
