Vander Gucht, title to the New Testament with vignette, engraved head-pieces and initials. 19th-century blindstamped reversed calf (covers damaged, rebacked).Known as the "Vinegar Bible" from the misprint "the parable of the vinegar" for "vineyard" in Luke XX.

Two distinct variants are recorded: the present copy is Darlow & Moule's issue A, with an additional engraved general title page depicting Moses writing the first words of Genesis (here bound as frontispiece), a vignette view of Oxford on the general title page, and vignette title page for the New Testament depicting the Annunciation, dated 1716.Two distinct variants are recorded: the present copy is Darlow & Moule's issue A, with an additional engraved general title page depicting Moses writing the first words of Genesis (here bound as frontispiece), a vignette view of Oxford on the general title page, and vignette title page for the New Testament depicting the Annunciation, dated 1716.
