FIRST EDITION OF TYNDALE'S VERSION with Jugge's revisions and the first of Jugge's three illustrated quarto editions. "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...
