small 4to. Zurych by Chrystoffer Froschower, 1550
This first quarto edition of Coverdale's Bible is quite as rare as the
folio of 1535, if not even scarcer, as fewer copies of it are known. The
only perfect one is that in the public Library at Zürich. This copy,
which represents the work as originally issued by Froschower, may be
considered as a real Biblical Gem.

Luaritch 265 BIBLE. The Golden Legende, conteynynge the Lyves and Hystoryes 9
taken out of the Byble, and Legendes of the Saintes, 2 parts in 1,
black letter, WOODCUTS, VERY RARE, fine large copy, but wanting 6 leaves
in the second part (folio 40, 41, 42, 43, 111, and 258 containing
colophon), splendidly bound in morocco super extra, g. e. tooled in
the antique style, by Hayday small folio. Julian Notary, 1503
This extraordinary work exhibits the earliest printed specimen of
an English translation of the Bible, or rather portions, as it confines
itself chiefly to the historical Books and Gospels. A very curious fact
is that the editor and translator, William Caxton, has used the word
'breches" in the rendering of Genesis iii. 7. "And thenne they toke
fygge levys and sewed theym togyder for to cover theyr membres in
the maner of breches," showing that the Genevan Version is not the
original of this quaint expression.
