Hunt dated 23rd February 1607 and signature 'Thomas Cotton' to upper margin of 4K1, some preliminary leaves torn with text loss and repaired, D4-D5 Genesis stained, few light ink stains to Y2-Y4, 3A, 3D in Old Testament, 2 C8 with rust hole to lower blank margin, M2 in New Testament with repair to lower outer blank corner, leaves N1-final leaf S4 torn to upper in corners (some with loss) and repaired, last few leaves also torn to margins and repaired, final leaf lined to verso, occasional damp-stains mostly to margins, some toning, light dust-soiling and few other marks etc., modern bookplate of Michael Stoughton to upper pastedown, modern calf by Farnborough Abbey preserving contemporary calf leather to boards with blind panelled and roll decoration, green morocco title label to spine, folio (sheet size 39.5 x 26.7 cm) Darlow & Moule 96; Herbert (D & M Rev. 1968), 132; STC 2107. Bishop's version: the second folio edition. 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. This revision was produced from a memorandum prepared by Giles Lawrence, Professor of Greek at Oxford. All later issues, with two exceptions, appear to follow the quarto edition 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 Hebrewes (i.e. the Bishops' version) in roman type. (Herbert) A very large, beautiful Bible.
