This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ...passed to the library of the Prince d'Essling and the other to the Berlin Print Room, and it was thus impossible to make any detailed comparison of the illustrations in the new find with those in the already known editions published by Lucantonio Giunta in 1490 and subsequent years. Within the last few weeks a third copy has been acquired by the British Museum, which has also since 1897 possessed the first Giunta edition, and a few notes based on a careful collation of the two may perhaps be found interesting.

This book also was printed for him by Jenson, and published in 1475. Malermi's translation of the Bible was a great popular success, at least nine, and probably ten editions being printed during the fifteenth century, and the British Museum possessing six others issued in 1517, 1546, 1553, 1558, 1566, and 1567. By a curious chance another translation, by an anonymous author, must have been already in the press while Jenson was printing Malermi's first edition.
