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).
