Bible [English]. The Bible, that is, the Holy Scriptures conteined in the Olde and Newe Testament, translated according to the Ebrew and Greeke, and conferred with the best translations in divers languages..., Imprinted at London [i.e. Amsterdam]: by the Deputies of Christopher Barker, 1599(?), two initial blanks present (creased, first blank with large letterpress signature 'A' at foot and ownership signature at head of John Bourne of Alford? 29th July 1846), first general title present with woodcut frame border (having 24 small compartments, showing on the left the tents of the twelve tribes, and on the right figures of the twelve Apostles, the inner parts exhibits the four Evangelists), second general title present with woodcut illustration of the crossing of the Red Sea (ownership signature of John Bourne at head), New Testament title within decorative woodcut border (matching border of first general title), few woodcut illustrations and decorative initials, double-column roman type, bound without Apocrypha (as often), sewing at front broken and all leaves before gathering E detached (with some consequent fraying to margins), lacks 2Q8 (blank at end of Old Testament), bound with at rear an incomplete Book of Psalms, with several leaves detached and frayed at rear of volume, borders and columns red-ruled throughout volume, some light damp staining, occasional light dust-soiling and few marks, marbled pastedowns torn and frayed to edges (without free endpapers), armorial bookplate of John Bourne of Dalby to upper pastedown, all edges gilt, 17th century gilt decorated brown morocco, lacking lower panel of spine, board detached, worn, lacking ties, 4to (22.8 x 17 cm)QTY: (1)NOTE:Herbert 248; Darlow & Moule 188, and STC 2174.Geneva version; with Thomson's NT, but with Junius' Revelation. 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).
