Rare. 'Relatively little is known about Mrs. Belnos. Her husband, Jean-Jacques Belnos, was a French miniaturist and lithographer, who had travelled to India in 1807, and established a practice in Calcutta as a painter of miniatures and portraits of the British, a business which his widow seems to have continued following his death' (De Silva, Colonial Self-Fashioning in British India, c.1785-1845, pp. 106-7).

Bible [English]. The Bible. Translated according to the Ebrew and Greeke, and conferred with the best translations in divers languages. With most profitable Annotations upon all the hard places ... Whereunto is added the Psalter of the common translation agreeing with the booke of Common Prayer, Imprinted at London by Christopher Barker, [1578], initial leaf 'of the incomparable treasure' not present (tipped-in replacement leaf provided from a later Bible, cut down and torn & frayed to margins), general title within decorative woodcut border (with overlaid imprint slip, date in manuscript & paper slip overlaying manuscript note to lower blank margin), New Testament title within decorative woodcut border and with dated imprint, double-column black letter text, few woodcut decorative initials and illustrations, printer's woodcut device at end of Old Testament Prophets & 2T6 after final leaf of New Testament, Apocrypha present, Old Testament leaves C5 & D5 with small rust hole affecting single letter of text, lower inner blank margins of 3F3 & 3F4 torn away (not affecting text), 3P2 torn to lower outer corner with slight text loss and repaired, some light damp staining (mostly at head), few discreet repairs mostly to lower blank margins, occasional marks including few old small ink marks and marginalia, final leaf of tables at rear of volume repaired to lower outer blank corner, occasional light dust-soiling and few marks mostly to first & last few leaves, minor marginal damp stains mostly to initial leaves, front pastedown with armorial bookplate of Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex (1773–1843, 6th son of George III), cloth hinges to endpapers, 18th century blind panelled calf, old reback, joints slightly cracked, board edges worn and showing, folio (370 x 240mm)Qty: (1)NOTESHerbert 154; Darlow & Moule 115; STC 2123. Geneva version. The first large folio edition. In this edition the Geneva and the Prayer Book versions of the Psalter appear side by side, the former in roman type and the latter in black-letter. This is the earliest Bible which contains the introductory verses, afterwards occurring so often: Here is the spring where waters flowe, to quenche our heate of sinne: Here is the tree where trueth doth grow, to leade our lives therein: etc, and the accompanying prayer. The Prayer Book included in the preliminary matter exhibits many peculiarities; the word Minister is substituted throughout for Priest, and some of the Offices are omitted. The title-border contains: above - the royal arms supported by two female figures, one carrying a sword and scales, the other a book and a sprig of heartsease; and below - a lion and a dragon on either side of a tablet containing the words Imprinted ... Maiestatis (these words are on a slip pasted over the original imprint, which omits the words Printer to the Queenes Maiestie and Regiae Maiestatis); the initials C B appear in the lower corners of the central space, and also at the base of the cut. The same border is used for the NT title; but the tablet in this case contains Prov. xxx. 5, 6. Fry states in a MS. note that the Prayer Book is generally missing from copies of this edition, as collectors of editions of the Book of the Book of Common Prayer are eager to acquire this peculiar variety, and often cut the leaves out of the Bible. (Herbert/ Darlow & Moule). Augustus Frederick (1773-1843) was the 9th child (& 6th son) of King George III and Queen Charlotte. He was tutored at home and then, in 1786, sent to the University of Göttingen in Germany. In 1793, while travelling in Italy, he met and married Lady Augusta Murray, daughter of the Earl of Dunmore. On their return to England, they again married in secret, without the consent of the King. Since this was illegal under the Royal Marriages Act of 1772, the marriage was annulled by the Prerogative Court in 1794, though Augustus Frederick continued to live with Lady Augusta until 1801 and they had two children. In November 1801, he was created Duke of Sussex. In 1831, he married a second time, again without the consent of the King. This marriage was to Lady Cecilia Buggin, daughter of the Earl of Arran. Augustus Frederick suffered from asthma, and therefore did not follow his brothers in pursuing a military or naval career but showed enthusiasm for learning and the arts, with a particular interest in biblical studies and Hebrew. He was elected president of the Society of Arts in 1816 and held this position till his death in 1843. Between 1830 and 1838, he was also president of the Royal Society. He assembled an outstanding library at Kensington Palace, containing around 50,000 books and manuscripts. All were individually selected to reflect the Prince’s interests, with over a quarter related to theology. After his death, the library was sold at auction by Messrs. Evans in 1844.

'The authentique corrected Cambridge Bible, revised Mandato Regio, by the learned Doctor Ward, Doctor Goad of Hadley, Mr. Boyse, Mr. Mead, &c., and printed by the elaborate industry of Thomas Buck Esquire and Mr. Roger Daniel in folio in 1638.' (William Kilburne's tract Dangerous Errors in Several late printed Bibles ..., 1659, reprinted in the Introduction to Loftie's A Century of Bibles, 1872, p.35.) In this edition, thus favourably noticed by Kilburne, the work of correction begun in the folio Cambridge Bible of 1629 was carried further. The revisers took special pains to render uniform the use of italics; and they also introduced a certain number of new readings: e.g. Matt. xii. 23, Is not this the sonne of David? (for Is this ...), and 1 John v. 12 ... hath not the Sonne of God (of God added). Here first occurs the famous reading in Acts vi. 3, ... whom ye may appoint (for ... whom we ... ). This alteration has often been ascribed to the Puritans, and was reputed to have cost Cromwell a bribe of £1000; yet here it is found as early as 1638, in a Bible prepared under the royal sanction. This remained the standard text until the publication of Dr. Paris' Cambridge edition of 1762. (Herbert/ Darlow & Moule)
