noteBound in two volumes (Genesis-Psalms / Proverbs-Apocalypse). Annotation: Fifteenth- and sixteenth-century marginalia throughout, commonly cropped by binder. Many appear to be print-shop emmendations (see Sig. [A]10v, where the letter from Goff notes an MSS correction on col. 1 line 15, also present in the CUL copy - the same hand has made corrections throughout). The chapters of the NT have been divided into sections deliniated by MSS capital letters - frequent cross-references. Extensive MSS marginalia to sig. D12v. Three extensive pieces of marginalia within NT: sigs. Z6r, CC4v, CC9v. Initial blank contains extensive MSS annotations (themes for sermons?). The final printed leaf and six further leaves at the end of vol. 2 contain MSS. additions - lists of Epistles and Gospels. Provenance: Presented by F. Jenkinson, M.A. Librarian 1891 May 2. [i.e.: presented by Francis Jenkinson (1853-1923).Nineteenth-century armorial bookplate on front pastedown: James Elwin Millard, D.D. [i.e.: James Elwin Millard (1823-1894)]. MSS inscription on first printed leaf: 'Augiae Minoris', identifiable with the Premonstratensian monastery of SS. Petrus et Paulus at Weissenau, near Ravensburg, Wurttemberg, dissolved in 1803. Eighteenth-century armorial bookplate with initials 'B A Z W' [i.e.: Bonaventura Brem (1755-1818), the last Abbot of the monastery (1794-1803)]. Three earlier shelfmark labels removed from spine and pasted to front pastedown: A II[...]; 133. 70; 63/2. Photostat letter dated at Washington 12 April 1971 from Frederick Richmond Goff (1916-1982) to John Claud Trewinard Oates (1912-), regarding variant printing of fol. 10 loosely inserted into vol. 1.
bindingNoteSeventeenth-century half pigskin; paste paper over pasteboards; green silk ties; gilt spine label: S. Biblia Tomus I [II]; edges red-inked.
decorationNoteImperfect: Sig. [L10] (blank leaf) excised - stub visible. Goff (Variations in Berthold Ruppel's bible) cites a series of variations on sig. [A]1 and A[10]. In the CUL copy sigs.
