An exceptionally rare complete and unique example of perhaps the most influential text in the English language. "From about the middle of the seventeenth century until the appearance of the Revised Bible of 1881-5 the King James version reigned without rival" Herbert 319. One of the most influential texts in the English language Thomas Macaulay anointed it "a book which if everything else in our language should perish would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power" PMM 114. The official work of translation was undertaken by nearly 50 scholars over the span of 1604 to 1611 but it can be seen as the culmination of nearly a century of work beginning with William Tyndale's New Testament translations and including the bibles of Coverdale and Whitchurch the Bishops' Bible the Geneva Bible and the Rheims New Testament. "Appointed to be read in Churches" the Great "He" Bible was exposed to public usage on lecterns and almost all surviving copies have suffered some manner of damage or loss.

16017682Londini London: Impensis G.Bishop. 1601. Folio pp. xlii 378 381-914 10. 20th-century half sheep pebbled cloth boards spine divided by raised bands black morocco label. Title-page trimmed and mounted final leaf also mounted a few smaller repairs to early leaves small wormhole in blank margin some foxing and occasional light marginal dampstaining. Spine rather rubbed and darkened and sometime furbished worn at ends and joints just starting to crack at head. The second edition of Fulke’s tendentious and influential comparison of the Douay-Rheims and Bishops’ translations of the New Testament with his notes and commentary intended to refute the arguments on which the former version was based. Fulke’s work with the two texts in parallel columns the Catholic in roman type and the Church of England version in italic sold better in England than the Douai Bible ever had bringing its language to a wider readership and becoming indirectly responsible for its influence on the coming King James version.

The first complete Bible to be produced entirely in shorthand engraved throughout by John Sturt and including the metrical psalms of Sternhold and Hopkins translated from the King James Authorised Version by English writing master and stenographer William Addy c.1618-c.1695. Addy's shorthand system was extensively outlined in his Stenographia or The art of short- writing compleated in a far more compendious method than any yet extant London 1684. As he himself acknowledged it owed a great debt to the system of Jeremiah Rich d. c. 1660. Darlow & Moule transcribe a note from the B.M. copy which explains the method of production: 'This Bible in Stenography my Brethren at sight and all others skill'd in ye Art of Sculpture know it's Engraven; but in a Peculiar Manner. It was written by Mr. Addy in ungum'd Ink burnished on the wax and then run through with the Engraver by John Sturt'. The old bookseller's description tipped into this copy refers to the work as the 'Pepys shorthand Bible' referencing J.W. Carlton's 1933 article "Samuel Pepys his Short-hand Books" Transactions of the Bibliographical Society. New Series Vol. XIV p.83 1933; however Pepys copy is described as featuring 'a rapturous dedication to William of Orange' which was not added until the 1689 reissue confusingly with the title continuing to display the 1687 date of this Bible.
