First of 3 illustrated quarto editions of Tyndale's version. "This handsomely printed revision by the publisher, Richard Jugge, is lavishly illustrated with nearly sixty new cuts in the Gospels and a large title-page portrait of the young king, who awarded the publisher a license to print the book . . . The narrative cuts in the Gospels are apparently the first made specifically for the text of an English Bible"--Luborsky & Ingram, English Illustrated Books 2867. Herbert 99; STC 2867.
