19. The Bible. (Bishops' version.) By Richard Jugge. 1574. Folio. This edition has at the 24th chapter of Joshua a folding map of Canaan, dsted 1574, whi h, however, is from the same block used by Coverdale in his Bible of 1535. This copy wants the title page and some of the preliminary matter, but is otherwise in very fair condition. At the end, bound in with the Bible, is a part of a work entitled The Lyres of Holy Sainetes, Prophetes, Patriarches, dr., by John Marbeck, author of the first Concordance. The lives are arranged in alphabetical order, and the part here inserted reaches from Aaron to Michol, 38 pages. 20. The Holy Bible. (Bishops' version.) London, Lucas Harrison. 1575. This copy wants all the preliminary matter, about twenty leaves. The titles of the second part and of the New Testament are original, the others made up. They have a very elaborate framework with a mermaid gizing into a mirror at the foot of the centre-piece. The centre-piece in the title of the New Testament has the symbols of the four Evangelists at the four corners, St Matthew as an Angel, St Mark as a Lion, St Luke as an Ox, and St John as an Eagle. The text is full of errors. Palm xxxvi. 29 reads: "The righteous shall be punished," and the Epistles to the Hebrews and to Titus are both titled "Second Epistle.” 21. The holy Bible. (Bishops' version.) London, Richarde Jugge. 1575. 4%. This is the seventh edition of the Bishops' Bible, and a good copy, being almost complete. The first title is in facsimile; the Calendar and Book of Common Prayer are at the beginning and the device of Richard Jugge at the (nd. 22. The Bible. Imprinted at London by Christopher Baker. Foli 1576. This is Tomson's revision of the Genevan version, and the first Geneva Bible printed in England. This copy wants the title, but is full of manuscript notes in a contemporary hand sometimes in English and sometimes in Latin. At the end is the metrical version of the Psalms by Sternhold and Hopkins, with the tunes, and an explanatory note to the reader giving the sol-fa notation. 23. The Bble and Holy Scriptures conteined in the Olde and Newe Testament, translated according to the Ebrue and Greke, &c. Printed in Elmleigh, le. Al vunder Arbuthnot, Printer to the Kingis Maiestie, dwelling at ye Kirk of fold. 1579. Folio, The Newe Testament of Our Lord Jesus Christ, conferred diligently with the Greke, &c. At Edinburgh, Printed by Thomas Bassandyne. 1576. This is the first edition of the Bible printed in Scotland, begun by Thomas Bassandyne and issued after his death by Alexander Arbuthnot. It is a reprint of the Geneva Bible of 1561. At the end of the thirteenth chapter of Revelation is a note explaining the "number of the Beast" in which is a Greek word printed in rude Greek letters. This is the first specimen of Greek printing in Scotland. The woodcut of the Royal Arms of Scotland is the same as that used in Bellenden's Croniklis, printed at Edinburgh by Thomas Davidson in 1542, but smaller. This copy is not perfect, wanting the preliminary matter and several leaves. The Edinburgh Public Library possesses a good copy which I could have got in Manchester. It seems at one time to have belonged to a Patrick Lindsay, and what is very curious, this copy, which I got in Brechin, has on the title-page of the New Testament the inscription:"Patrik Lindesay off barnyards, ye first off" the rest of the date being cut away by the binder. At the commencement of the Apocrypha on a blank space is "P. Barnyardis" twice repeated. There is little known of the Forfarshire family of the Lindsays of Barnyards, otherwise called The Haugh of Tannadice, whose castle of Barnzaird, as it is termed in Monipennie's Briefe Description of Scotland, stood about two miles north of the castle of Finhaven (Land of the Lindsays, 2nd edition, p. 208). Jervise states that they were hereditary constables of Finhaven. Patrick Lindsay, 'apparent' of Barnyards, is mentioned in the Register of the Great Seal in 1590. În 1592 he had a charter from the crown of the lands of Tannadice, Barnyards, and Glenquich. This is probably the Patrick Lindsay of Barnyards who possessed the Bible. 24. The Holy Bible. (Bishops' version.) London, by assignment of Chr. Barker. 1578. Folio. This edition called the Dotted Bible is printed page for page with that of 1574. This copy wants the title-page. At the commencement of each Gospel there is a woodcut of the Evangelist represented as writing his Gospel with his symbol beside him; but for the woodcut of Matthew is substituted that of Mark, which is also repeated in its proper place at the commencement of Mark's Gospel. 25. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by Christopher Barker. 1579. 4to. This copy wants the first title but has all the text, with Tables and supputation of years. 26. The Bible. (Genevan version.) London, Christopher Barker (?). 1580. 4to. This copy having no titles had to be examined closely to find that it corre sponds to the edition of 1580 in Lea Wilson's Catalogue. The supputation gives 1580. The date 1578 in the address to the Christian Reader continues to be given in much later copies and is therefore no criterion. 27. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by Christopher Barker. 1581. 4to. This copy has all the text and the title to the New Testament, with Tables, and John Day's Metrical Psalms, and part of the Prayer Book. 28. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by Christopher Barker. 1582. 4to. This copy is slightly imperfect and wants the first title but has the title to the New Testament, and John Day's Metrical Psalms of 1581. 29. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by Christopher Barker. 15×3. 4to. This copy is imperfect at the beginning, but has at the end "Two right profitable and fruitfull concordances, or large and ample Tables Alphabeticall"; and John Daye's Metrical Psalms, 1583. 30. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by Christopher Barker. 1583. Large folio. This is the largest Genevan or Breeches' Bible ever issued. Curiously it has Cranmer's prologue. This copy is not quite complete, but is otherwise in very good condition. 31. The Bible. (Bishops' version.) Imprinted at London by Christopher Baker. 15×4, This copy wants the preliminaries, but the text is complete and it is otherwise in good order. It is a rather rare edition in the black-letter, with numerous marginal references and notes. The title-page of the New Testament has the symbols of the four Evangelists and figures of Faith and Humility. 32. The Bible. (Genev in version.) Imprinted at London by Chris topher Buker. 1585. 4to. The first title is wanting, but the text is complete and the copy in good condition. It has no Metrical Psalms, but at the end the two Tables of Concord ince of extraordinary length. 33. Holie Bible. (Bishops' version.) Imprinted at London by Christopher Barker. 1585. Folio.. This is the fourteenth edition of the Bishops' Bible, and the most beautiful of them all, the typography being only excelled by that of the Vulgate printed by Koberger, Nuremberg. 34. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by Christopher Barker. 1586. 4to. A good copy but somewhat smoked. It has not the Metrical Psalms, but at the end two Tables of Concordance of great length. 35. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by Christopher Barker. 1587. 4to. This is Tomson's revision of the Geneva text. On the fly-leaf between the Old and New Testaments there is pasted a small Sabbath School ticket bearing a woodcut representation of Joseph's brethren dining with him, and the following memorandum in Mr Haxton's hand :-"This Sabbath School ticket was inserted by me between the beading of the book board of our seat in Parkhead Established Church in the year 1828, and found and taken out by me 64 years afterwards, on 20th August 1892." 36. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1589. Imprinted at London by the 4to. This copy seems to be a gathering, as, while the title to the Old Testament bears the date 1589, that of the New Testament is dated 1592. The Metrical Psalms, also, printed by John Windet, are dated 1592. The Book of Common Prayer inserted before the Psalms appears to be of later date. An elaborate Table of Genealogies by J. S. inserted at the beginning appears to be also of later date. 37. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by the Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1593. 4to. This is Tomson's revision of the Geneva Bible. The first title is wanting. The New Testament bears the date 1593 and at the end of the tables is the date 1594. Bound in with the Bible is an interesting copy of "The CL Psalms of David in Scots Meter; after the forme that they are to bee sung in the Kirke of Scotland. Edinburgh. Printed by the Heires of Andro Hart. Anno Dom. 1632." On the back of the title of the New Testament is the following inscription :-"Ex Libris Alexanderi Naper. Alexander Naper est mihi nomen. Scriptum per me Alexanderum Naper apud Büchaple nono calendas Maij millesimo sexcentesimo nonagesimo tertio." 38. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by the Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1593. 8vo. This copy of a very rare edition was got at Sir George W. Dasent's sale. By a note on the fly-leaf with his autograph it appears that he bought it in Holm in 1844 for twelve skillings or about fivepence English. So far as I know this is a perfect copy but is rebound with the old boards and edges as they were. Save an imperfect copy in the British Museum from which the real date was ascertained I have never heard of another. It closely resembles a Bible printed at Cambridge by John Legate, 1591, only this edition is paged, and Legate's was not. 39. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by the Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1594. 4to. This copy wants the first title but has the title to the New Testament. The text is in black-letter as most of the Genevans are, but the head-lines and marginal notes are in Roman letter. The New Testament has a large number of illustrative plates inserted. 40. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1594. Imprinted at London by the 4to. This is a rather poor copy of a Bible that has given rise to much speculation, as the New Testament is wrongly dated 1495. 41. The Bible. (Genevan version.) London, Printed by John Windet, for the Assignes of Richard Day. 1594. 4to. This is Tomson's revision and a beautiful copy, clean and perfect, with both titles. It has no Psalms, 42. The Bible. (Genevan version.) Imprinted at London by the Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1596. 4to. This copy has all the text but wants the first title and the other preliminary matter. It has at the end the two Tables of Concordance and a description of Canaan and the bordering countries. 43. The Holy Bible. (Bishops' version.) Imprinted at London by the Deputies of Christopher Barker. 1595. Folio, This is a fine copy with all the titles and beautifully bound. It came from the collection of Mr Fry, one of our greatest collectors, |
