The Reformation Study Bible is not quite the same as the Geneva Bible. My copy is actually a New King James Version of the Bible with notes which, according to Sproul, are “in the tradition of the original Geneva Bible”. I think that what Sproul means is that it attempts to adhere to the Reformed tradition of Calvin, Beza, Farel, and Knox. I do not believe that it is the Geneva Bible translation nor does it include the original notes.

I think you are correct, thus my search. I did download a Geneva with notes to my kindle, but the formatting makes it almost impossible to read for any clarity.
