The Proverbs of Solamon 1x. O.T. 26:9 --> 28:22 # (iiij)

Black letter. The text is divided into 5 parts.

The Bishop's Bible generally represents a revision of the Great Bible. Parker had appealed to Queen Elizabeth for authorization which, for some unknown reason did not come. Nevertheless, the espiscopal endorsement of this version made it, in effect the 2nd version "authorized" for church use, after the Great Bible: A quarto ed. in 1569 corrected many of the misprints that cropped up in the 1568 O.T. but made few corrections to the N.T. The 1572 folio had further revisions to the N.T. text + prints the Psalms from the Great Bible in black type in parallel columns c those of this revision in roman type. After 1573, all ed. except for I carry the dual Psalter. Between 1568 + 1602 the Bishop's Bible went through 17 ed. of the complete Bible + 14 ed. of the N.T. The 1st folio ed. + the 2nd ed. of 1592 borrowed elaborate initial letters from a previous printing of Ovids' Meta morphoses. Between 1568 + 1611, this was the version generally used in churches, but the Geneva Bible remained the favorite for home + personal use.

In approximately 65 years (1568-1633) the Bishop's Bible had at least 38 different editions. Of these 15 were folio, 10 quarto and 13 octavo. 18 were complete texts (both Old + New Testaments) 19 were New Testaments and one was the Gospels.

It was the link between the Great Bible + the King James. It tried to mediate between the radical reformation (the Geneva Bible) + the pre-Reformation Church.

The history of the Bible in English is one of censorship, intrigue, violence + ultimately glory. In almost every other county in Europe the Bible circulated openly in the vernacular throughout the Middle Ages, but in England because of its connection to a heretical sect. the Bible in translation was illegal from 1408 until 1533.

The Psalms failed miserably in the Bishops' Bible translations. The 2nd ed. of 1572 printed the Psalms in the version of the Book of Common Prayers (largely Covendale's translation taken over from the Great Bible) side by side c the Bishops' Bible version. The older beloved version was printed in black letter + the new translation in roman typeface.
