The section containing the Apocrypha, though included in the list of books, was apparently omitted from all except a few copies. These Bibles were printed probably for English use in the Low Countries. There are many editions bearing this date, which while agreeing closely are yet distinct (some possibly published as late as 1640). No doubt a certain number of copies were originally issued in a mixed state. The nominal date, 1599, for most editions is probably untrue in almost every case; they were apparently published at different times in Amsterdam and Dort and adopted by Barker.This edition with Esther i. 1 '... seuen and twen- | ty prouinces'. This, according to Pocock, is probably the earliest of these editions, as it abounds more than any others in gross errors: e.g. Song of Solomon v. 3, defile for put; Isaiah xxx. 32, beards for harps, xxxvi. 12, thing for dung; Matt. xxiv. 50, line repeated. Perhaps printed at Amsterdam about 1599. Some of the copies have variant leaves (Herbert, Darlow & Moule).
