249. Tyndale's Pentateuch. Woodcuts. Small 8vo or 12mo—Sir W. Tite, M.P.

Part, at least, of this book was printed as a colophon set forth at "Malborow in the lande of Hesse," by Hans Luft, 1530. See Cotton, p. 306; also Anderson, and other historians of the English Bible. This copy is made up with fac-simile leaves.

One other copy is known: in the Lambeth Library. The first portion of WyclifFe's translation printed.

251. Biblia. The Bible, that is the Holy Scripture, &c. Folio, 1535.

Coverdale's version. Printed abroad; the exact place unascertained, but probably in part at Zurich, by Froschover. No perfect copy is known. One only, in the library of Lord Leicester, has the title perfect. This copy is wanting in several respects, the title being made up, and the title to the book of Job missing—Her Majesty the Queen.
