Hi, welcome to the forum. What a lovely present! There isn't anyone here who'll be able to value to book for you, but it definitely will be worth something if it's from 1594, you should take it to a professional.

The only things I can work out from the pictures is that it seems to be the work of John or Jean Calvin. Given the date of 1594 probably John Calvin and it could be a biblical text. As Hayley said above you are best taking it to a professional.

Well spotted Brian! I think it’s definitely John Calvin, probably a book on the beliefs of Calvinism (I think Calvin himself was dead by 1594).

Well I don't know where you live but any antiquarian book shops near you should be able to help. 

 

It's a really interesting book, thank you for sharing the pictures with us :)
