The present work was the 1st systematic and comprehensive attempt to refute the arguments and accusations contained in the Rheims N.T. of 1582. This exhaustive and meticulous study prints successive chapters of the Rheims version in Roman Type in one column and the Bishop's version in italics in a parallel column, followed by the arguments, marginal notes, and other annotations of the Rheims Testament, followed finally by Fulke's (1538-89) confutations. This chapterby-chapter reprinting, with its attendant exegetical wrangling, though meant to demolish the Martin translation, had the unanticipated result of giving the Rheims translation a publicity which it would not otherwise have obtained and was indirectly responsible for the marked influence which Rheims exerted on the Bible of 1611.

This Bible expanded a marginal concordance system introduced into printed Bibles by Bernhard Richel in 1477. "Their bible placed equally-spaced marginal typographical capital letters A to D and A to G in the New Testament of their complete Bible, expanded the marginal concordance, and used intra-textual double slash marks virtually identical to those in the Lollard bibles" (P. Saenger, "The impact of the printed page" in the Bible as Book: the 1st printed editions, p. 38)

Philippi (Pistoris) and Reinhart were German partners who constitute the 2nd Lyonese press. In partnership they are believed to have printed their 1st book (Fernarus Practica nova juris) in 1477 and remained active until 1482 at which point in appears Reinhart severed his connection with the shop (he was printing at Kirchein in Alsace in 1490)

Philippi and Reinhard appear to have issued the earliest Lyon ed. of the Golden Legend (Legenda Aurea, about 1480, CI. iii 124-30, Fairfax Murray, Davies 589)

One of the "Fontibus ex Graecos Hebraeorum" editions derived from the Bibles printed by J. Amerbach at Basel in 1479, 1481 and 1482.

Lyons proved to be a good market for printed books and before the end of the 15th C more than 160 printers had worked there, among whom Germans were predominant to such an extent that printers as a class became known in the city as "les allemands."

Bromyard's principal work (written in the 2nd quarter of the 14th C) is aptly described as an encyclopedia for preachers. It contains 198 chapters on topics suitable for sermons, arranged alphabetically. Most of the capital sins and cardinal virtues are treated.

Generally the Opus is composed of short articles from Abbas to Xtus, and each entry is numbered for easy reference: thus Abbas is A.i, Ab infantia is A.ii
