But there has been considerable confusion as to which should be called 'Lloyd's edition.' Some authorities (e.g. Loftie, the BM Catalogue, and the D.N.B.) ascribe this Oxford folio to Lloyd. Others (e.g. Lewis and Scrivener) assert that a London folio of 1701 is the special edition prepared by the Bishop. The Oxford Bible of 1701 doesn't materially differ from Bibles printed at that University during the previous twenty years (Herbert, Darlow & Moule).

However, this career was ended by the Revolution when all religious orders were disbanded. Influenced by friends in Paris, Alibert turned to the study of medicine and completed his degree with a highly acclaimed thesis on pernicious intermittent fevers. Soon after graduation he was appointed to the staff of the Hôpital St. Louis where his brilliant work brought the hospital to pre-eminence in the treatment of skin diseases and earned him an historic role as the founder of French dermatology. He developed a classification of skin diseases using Linnaean concepts but it proved to be impractical compared to Willan's classification and was eventually abandoned. Nevertheless, Alibert made important contributions with his descriptions of lupus vulgaris, keloid, dermatolysis, mycosis fungoides, and cutaneous leishmaniasis. Among the terms he coined that remain in use today are: dermatolysis, syphilid, keloid, and dermatosis... Along with Willan, Alibert was a pioneer in illustrating skin diseases and the hand-colored plates in this work are notable from both the medical and artistic standpoint' (Heirs of Hippocrates).
