BIBLE, in English
The Bible. London: R. Barker, 1608. [Bound with:] The Booke of Common Prayer. London: R. Barker, 1608. [And:] The Whole Booke of Psalmes. London: Company of Stationers, 1606.
Fine contemporary London binding, probably by royal bookbinder John Bateman with tools used by the Macdurnan Gospels Binder. The corner-pieces on the binding are the same as those on plate 32 of Fletcher's English Bookbindings in the British Museum which are described as 'probably the handicraft of John and Abraham Bateman.' The centrepiece appears to be the same as tool Y, identified by Foot as belonging to the Macdurnan Gospels Binder [Henry Davis Gift, vol. I, p.41], whose tools seem to have been acquired by Bateman after the former’s death in the late 1580s. STC 2204, 2520; the Booke of Common Prayer is apparently an unrecorded variant.

3 parts in one, quarto (225 x 165mm). Woodcut border to first two parts, vignette on final title, various woodcut illustrations in the text (a few tiny rustholes, slight stains on 2&5). Contemporary London binding (see above) of red morocco, crowned thistle within central arabesque gilt, fan cornerpieces, all edges gilt (slightly stained and rubbed, upper joint starting at head, lacking ties). Provenance: Thomas Hornsby (1733-1810, British astronomer and mathematician; autograph letters signed by his son, also Thomas Hornsby, gifting the volume to:) – George Kenyon, 2nd Baron Kenyon, Gredington Library (1776–1855; armorial bookplate).
