Notes
"This, the earliest complete miniature Bible, was reprinted in 1901, the date no longer on the title page as was the case with the first issue but on the licence leaf on the verso of the title. This date which in its original form reads in print eighteen hundred and ninety has been altered in ink to 29th day of March nineteen hundred and one before it was handed over to lithographers. That issue can be found in blind-stamped cloth with yellow edges, in polished calf with gilt red edges, in flexible black or maroon morocco with richly gilt-stamped front-cover and spine and preserved in a metal case with inset maginfying glass"--Cf. Bondy.
