fine copy, with a certificate from F. Fry, Esq. that every leaf is the
genuine May Edition, calf extra, g. e. sold with all faults

folio. Prynted by Edwarde Whitchurch, 28 May, 1541
EXCESSIVELY RARE. See Mr. Fry's autograph note prefixed, in which he
states: "It is a remarkable fact that there should not be found a per-
fect and correct copy of the May Edition."

257 BYBLE TRULY AND PURELY TRANSZLATED INTO ENGLISCHE BY MAYST.
THOMAS MATHEW (Myles Coverdale),

black letter, title and 18 leaves of Augmentes facsimiled from the only
known copy as issued by Froschower, these leaves having been cancelled
by Hester when the work was published in London. It has also four
leaves at end in facsimile, sold therefore with all faults, morocco extra,
g. e.
small 4to. Zurych by Chrystoffer Froschower, 1550
This first quarto edition of Coverdale's Bible is quite as rare as the
folio of 1535, if not even scarcer, as fewer copies of it are known. The
only perfect one is that in the public Library at Zürich. This copy,
which represents the work as originally issued by Froschower, may be
considered as a real Biblical Gem.

read in Churches, CRANMER'S VERSION (Lea Wilson, No. 23),
black letter, portion of title in facsimile, and several leaves mended, sold

Quarita 265 BIBLE. The Golden Legende, conteynynge the Lyves and Hystoryes

taken out of the Byble, and Legendes of the Saintes, 2 parts in 1, black letter, WOODCUTS, VERY RARE, fine large copy, but wanting 6 leaves in the second part (folio 40, 41, 42, 43, 111, and 258 containing colophon), splendidly bound in morocco super extra, g. e. tooled in the antique style, by Hayday small folio. Julian Notary, 1503 This extraordinary work exhibits the earliest printed specimen of an English translation of the Bible, or rather portions, as it confines itself chiefly to the historical Books and Gospels. A very curious fact is that the editor and translator, William Caxton, has used the word 'breches" in the rendering of Genesis iii. 7. "And thenne they toke fygge levys and sewed theym togyder for to cover theyr membres in the maner of breches," showing that the Genevan Version is not the original of this quaint expression.
