Finely bound in gilt-panelled brown morocco furnished in silver. The King James Version splendidly preserved in an English Restoration binding of gilt-panelled dark brown morocco furnished in silver with engraved centrepieces bearing the monogram 'AA' and the armorial device of three mullets or six points pierces cornerpieces and clasps in full working order. Binding 'furniture' originally served a functional purpose with bosses and cornerpieces helping to protect the covers from wear and tear and clasps employed to prevent the parchment leaves of manuscript books from warping. The advent of paper and the movement away from wood to pasteboard had largely made these features redundant by the end of the seventeenth century. Instead as here metalwork survived as a decorative feature which enhanced the binding of important devotional works whilst also helping to keep these texts which were more likely to be carried about secure see David Pearson English Bookbinding Styles 1450-1800 pp26-30. Our example is bound without the Apocrypha. Darlow and Moule note that the Apocrypha in their example no. 469 is possibly supplied from another edition and that a different copy is lacking the Apocrypha.

The gilt decoration largely worn away some loss to corners a little rubbing to extremities. Gauffering to gilt edges the clasp has slightly damaged the fore-edges towards the end where it has evidently dragged along the text block. A handsome copy of the 'Pearl' Bible with just a few minor flaws printed by John Field during the rule of Cromwell's Commonwealth at the behest of Parliament. Although produced in large numbers Darlow and Moule suggests in excess of 20000 their diminutive size the small volumes were designed to fit into the pocket of the British souls and poor quality of paper means that few survive in such condition: . Conforming to the Authorised King James Version the Field Bible was printed with a haste unheard of in Bible production and is thus notorious for its wildly varying inaccuracies and misprints. In this copy the three errors noted by Darlow and Moule to John IX. 21 Romans VI.13 and1 Corinthians VI.9 have all been corrected but three further to Matthew VI. 24 John II.10 and III.21 identified by Lee Wilson are all incorrrect.

A finely bound Breaches Bible in gilt-panelled calf. A handsome sixteenth-century edition of the Geneva Bible finely bound in gilt-panelled calf. The Geneva version was first published in 1560. The translation was primarily the work of English 'Marian exiles' who having fled England following the accession of Mary I in 1553 sought to create a version of the scriptures that emphasised clarity and promoted accessibility for the learned lay. It was the primary Bible of the evangelical movement and continued to be used by dissenting Protestants from Shakespeare to Oliver Cromwell well into the seventeenth century; it was one of the Bibles taken to America by the first pilgrims on the Mayflower. The Geneva is sometimes known as the 'Breeches Bible' for the rendering of 'Aprons as 'breeches' in Gen. 3:7. Notable features include the use of verse divisions which made it easier to locate specific passages and extensive study notes commentary and annotations that reflected the Reformed Calvinist theology of the time. As a result the translation proved unpopular with the Elizabethan regime which sought a more moderate religious settlement. The Archbishop of Canterbury Matthew Parker was duly authorised in 1568 to produce a more orthodox translation the Bishops' Bible which promoted the Anglican church and would go on to form the basis of the King James Version in 1611. 'The New Testament is a careful revision of William Whittingham's d.1579 Testament of 1557 due to a further comparison with Beza's Latin translation. The Old Testament and Apocrypha are based mainly on the Great Bible corrected from the original Hebrew and Greek and compared with the Latin versions of Leo Juda and others. The influence of the revisers of Olivetan's French Bible is strikingly shown by the fact that the "Arguments" to the Books of Job and Psalms in this English edition are translated almost word for word from those found in the French octavo Bible printed at Geneva in 1559' Darlow & Moule. This edition the variant with the verso of leaf iii 2nd column 3rd paragraph reading: 'Yea verily: that by sight taste & feeling / as wel as by hearing we might be instruc- / ted assured and brought to obedience'. The text closely resembles a quarto Geneva Bible printed in 1581 also bound with the metrical psalms no.170 in Herbert's revised Historical Catalogue of Printed Editions of the English Bible 1525-1961 and the quarto edition of 1580 likewise with the metrical psalms Herbert no.165.

He was borne on Saturday about six of the clocke in the morning and baptised of the twenty day of January by Mr Richard Giles of Walverden' pen note to the verso of leaf E8 in The Booke of Common Prayer. Herbert 199; DM 153; cf.ESTC S101765 & S1790. London, Imprinted at London by the Deputies of Christopher Barker, Printer to the Queenes most excellent Maiestie, 1589. unknown
