The guiding force behind their production was James Duport 160679 dean of Peterborough and master of Magdelene College Cambridge a noted scholar of Latin and Greek and supporter of the university press. The preface to the Book of Common Prayer is signed with his initials and it is established that he was the editor of the Psalms; the texts were almost certainly issued together but are also at times found individually in contemporary binding.<br>Â Â Â Â Field's minute typography here is dense and presented chiefly in double-column format in both works; and instead of woodcut head- or tailpieces and xylographic initials he deploys printer's ornaments to enliven the text at the top of some sections and occasionally elsewhere. => The layout is overall lovely and thoughtful and the printing is extremely clear and precise.<br>Â Â Â Â Binding: Contemporary morocco with covers framed in a single blind fillet; spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label and gilt-stamped compartment decorations. Marbled endpapers all edges gilt. => All pages ruled in red in the best style of the era.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Isaac Watts 16741748 the godfather of English hymnody is also fondly remembered for his Psalms of David: Imitated in the Language of the New Testament a work that was reprinted over a thousand times. His ownership signature is on the blank leaf opposite the BCP title-page here. Later the volume was owned by Charles Mayo 17671858 a scholar of Old English who dated his ownership as "St. John's College Oxford 1787."

The preface is signed "I.D." i.e. James Duport a popular professor of Greek at the University of Cambridge who had the year before printed a translation of the Psalter which appears here with the BCP as issued under a separate title-page and Ordinal along with the Greek New Testament and Apocrypha the title-page of the New Testament being an insert and the Apocrypha having separate pagination. This is only the second translation of the BCP into Greek following the first by Elias Petley in 1638. There were apparently two settings of this edition produced by printer John Field in the same year under the same title and imprint with priority not established; the present example has line six of the main title-page all in capital letters and the "Alma mater Cantabrigia" device following the last page of the Psalter but while the sun is on the left and the cup on the right of the Psalter title-page device they are reversed on the New Testament title-page apparently indicating that the New Testament is from a variant post-dating the BCP and Psalter.<br>Â Â Â Â Binding: Contemporary mottled calf Cambridge-style covers framed in double gilt fillets and panelled in triple gilt fillets with gilt-tooled corner fleurons; spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label and gilt-ruled compartments.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Front free endpaper with early inscription in red pencil: "Gibson's / Queens / Oxon. / 1787."
