Description: Holy Bible. The Old & New Testament, London: Robert Barker 1608. Octavo, bound in eights, 21.5cm, early panelled calf with blind-embossed royal or armorial device ['Honi soit qui mal y pense' in a belt surmounted by a crown], remnants of clasps, sympathetically rebacked with raised bands, separate title pages present for Old and New Testaments as well as The Booke of Psalmes, contents good, only discoloured from age & handling, some marginal wear & loss in a few places, the final two leaves (with colophon for John Windet) more obviously worn with old repairs, some wonderful early manuscript notes & marginalia, certainly appears to be complete but not collated and thus sold with all faults
