BIBLE, IN ENGLISH, AUTHORISED VERSION
Footnotes
THE "GREAT SHE BIBLE" OR SECOND FOLIO EDITION OF KING JAMES' BIBLE, described by Fry as the "first edition, second issue, without reprints" of the Authorised version, printed to reconcile the versions of the Bible used by the Clergy on one hand, and the laity on the other. The translators, who numbered about fifty, were divided into committees based at Oxford, Cambridge, and London. They were instructed to take the Bishops' Bible as their basis, and consult Tyndale's, Coverdale's, Matthew's, Whitchurch's and the Geneva version. This edition includes the remarkable error in Matthew XXVI, 36 where "Judas" appears for "Jesus". In this copy a pasted-on slip corrects the mistake.
Provenance: Bartlett family, nineteenth century family register of births and deaths, mostly from Somerset, Devon and Dorset. Also includes printed ticket "Bartlett, Bookseller & Binder, Blandford" inside upper cover; by descent to present owner.
