TYPE: Book
COMPONENTS: 4to, original calf, newly rebacked; 5 (of 8) brass corners(including all 4 outer corners) and catches (no clasps); with a hand drawn facsimile of the general title. Bound with whole Book of Psalms. Inscription of ownership on Cc3 (I Chronicles 6) and Gg8 (Nehemiah 7), including with a note by him regarding a wife on one of the rear end papers.
CONDITION: Bible: LACKS the general title, the Kalendar (6 leaves) & 4 other preliminary leaves (12 are present), the first leaf of Genesis, C6 & 7 (Genesis 41:7-43:30)(with C2-4 bound between A8 & B1); the outer margins of the first 6 quires (& the first of the Psalms) are a bit frayed, slightly affecting the sidenotes for about the first 12 leaves; the headlines are usually shaved or cropped throughout and the outer margins are often tender or a bit abraded; P7 is bound slightly askew, removing the headline almost entirely. WITHOUT the Apocrypha, seemingly never bound in.
Psalms: lacking the last two leaves & some other leaves as well.
NOTES: Bible: **Herbert 126. B3. The Holie Bible... London: R. Jugge, 1569. Lacks the Apocrypha, seemingly never bound in; perhaps originally purchased by a Puritan who preferred the Bible without it.
Psalms: ... London: John Daye, n.d. (probably contemporary to the Bible). Quite an early and scarce Bishops' Bible.
