BIBLE, English. The holie Bible . London: R. Jugge, 1572. 2 o (378 x 263 mm). Black letter, double column. Woodcut illustrations, woodcut initials. (Lacking general title, six other preliminary leaves, the final two leaves containing the table and colophon, and the engraved map; first 12 leaves with margins repaired with some loss of text, several corners patched with loss, some shoulder notes and headlines shaved.) 19th-century blind-stamped morocco over wooden boards, edges gilt. Provenance : Walter Mould (signature on front flyleaf dated 1784), by descent to: -- Thomas Baker Manchester (provenance not on front flyleaf dated 31 August 1876) -- Estelle Doheny (purchased from Maggs Bros., 17 November 1941) -- donated to SMS 1942. The second folio edition of the Bishop's version. A reprint of the 1568 Bible, so far as the Old Testament is concerned; but the New Testament has undergone further careful revision since the quarto edition of 1569 ... All later issues, with two exeptions, appear to follow the quarto of 1569 in the Old Testament, but generally adopt the text of this Bible of 1572 in the New Testament. A remarkable feature of this edition is its two-version Psalter, which exhibits, printed side by side, (1) The translation used in common prayer (taken originally from the Great Bible, and still retained in the Prayer Book) in black-letter, and (2) The translation after the Hebrews (i.e. the Bishops' version) in roman type. Darlow & Moule 96; Herbert 132; STC 2107. Sold not subject to return.
