BIBLE, In English. The Holy Bible Containing the Old Testament and the New, Newly Translated out of the Original Tongues and with Former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised. Oxford: John Baskett, 1717-1716. 2 vols., folio, signed in 6s (522 x 312mm.) Title and 'Kalender' in red and black, engraved illustration of Clarendon building in Oxford by G. Vander Gucht on title, additional engraved title by Du-Bose, numerous engraved head and tailpieces and initials after Thornill, Cheron, Laguere and others, NT with separate title dated 1716 and engraved illustration depicting the Annunciation, including the Book of Psalms. (Lacking initial blanks [*2] and (possibly?) blank to rear of OT, Qqqq4, a tear to Aaaa6, marginal loss to Kk3 and Qq3, marginal tear to Nn1, some leaves heavily browned, occasional marginal damp-stain, at Qqq-Zzz2 damp-stain affecting text and also at Gggg2-Hhhh1, corner loss to Ppp1, many gatherings loose or loosening.) Contemporary half-morocco boards (lacking spine, worn). Note: known as the 'Vinegar' Bible due to the misprint of 'vinegar' for 'vineyard' above Luke XX; OT ends after Apocrypha at Qqqq3 and NT ends at Y4; Baskett's intention was to make a large and beautiful Bible that could be used in the pulpit, or shown in the homes of the aristocracy and perhaps for this reason the typographical errors were overlooked. Herbert calls it a 'magnificent edition'. [Herbert 942, variant A], [ESTC: T89281].
