Bible [English]. The Bible, that is, the Holy Scriptures conteined in the Old and New Testament. Translated according to the Ebrew and Greeke, and conferred with the best translations in diuers languages. With most profitable annotations upon all hard places, and other things of great importance, [Imprinted at London (i.e. Amsterdam): By the deputies of Christopher Barker 1599, i.e. 1599-1640], general title within decorative woodcut border (imprint & date provided in 19th century letterpress type and with blue ink manuscript word 'scriptures' and ink smudge, title-page also trimmed to ruled border and lined to verso), without second general title, bound without Apocrypha (as often), New Testament title present within decorative woodcut border, text in roman throughout, woodcut decorative initials, illustrations and maps to text, few leaves mostly at front of volume strengthened/repaired to fore-edge margins, heavy ink mark to verso of 3M3, fore-margin of 3A7 torn away with minimal loss to few letters of marginal notes, lacking final four leaves of tables at rear of volume (3R1-3R4), bound with an incomplete Book of Psalms at rear, dust-soiling and browning throughout volume and few marks, all edges gilt, early 19th century diced russia calf, joints cracked and slight wear to extremities, 4to (21.3 x 16 cm) (Qty: 1) Herbert 248; Darlow & Moule 188 & STC 2174. Geneva version; with Thomson's NT, but with Junius' Revelation. These '1599' Bibles were printed probably in Amsterdam and Dort and adopted by Barker, with the nominal date, 1599, which is probably untrue in almost every case. However this particular edition (Herbert 248) is possibly the earliest of these editions, as it contains more errors than the others. It is probable therefore that it was printed in Amsterdam in about 1599. The volume contains several errors including Esther i:1 '...seuen and twen- / ty provinces', Song of Solomon v:3 'defile' for 'put', Isaiah xxx:32, 'beards' for 'harps', Isaiah xxxvi:12, 'thing' for 'dung' and Matthew xxiv:50 has a line repeated.
