Private library catalogue of this important and celebrated collection of the finest old English Bibles, of which very few copies were printed, all for presents. Henry Cotton, who refers to this work in almost every page of his “A List of the Editions of the Bible... 1852”, says, “I have much pleasure in testifying to the great accuracy and minuteness of the collations and descriptions in this most valuable catalogue. Those of the earlier and more rare editions are given with a fullness and distinctness which leaves nothing to desire. I could not insert all those particulars into a slight work like the present list; but confidently refer those persons who desire more detailed notice of any remarkable edition to this curious and valuable catalogue of Mr. Wilson.” GBP 895.00 [Appr.: EURO 992.75 US$ 1486.6 | JP 131335] Book number: 19454 Click here to order or inquire at Forest Books. |
