Large 4to format (c.280x170mm), in heavy full leather boards, with tarnished gilt to all edges of block.The Booke Of Common Prayer, With The Psalter Or Psalmes Of David.

Collected, Into English Meeter, By Thomas Sternhold, Iohn Hopkins, and others: Conferred with the Hebrew, with apt Notes to Sing them withall. Printed for the Companie of Stationers 1619.Restoration work is largely confined to the first few pages of the Book of Common Prayer and the final few of the Psalms. The BCP woodcut title is relaid on a new sheet while the following few pages show edge repairs. This is all well done. There is some toning, occasional spotting and marking, as to be expected, but in general all is in good internal order. Occasional marginal notes, but these infrequent. The Bible is likely Herbert 301 a reprint of Herbert 210 of 1592, with revised engraved title showing new Royal arms cut in to replace the dragon with the unicorn. This is repeated for the New Testament title. All follows in order from A2 to Nnnnn4 and the completion of the Second Table. Again all is in good order throughout, with occasional marking, minor edge loss and one or two small closed tears, but these minor. The copy of Sternhold’s psalms is close to the edition held by the University of Illinois (STC2563), which has pages 53 and 78 misnumbered as 35 and 87. In this imprint only 78 is so misnumbered. The psalms are presented in single column black letter, with musical notation, lacking leaf 150/151 and all matter after signature P5. The final two leaves present here have been well restored.All presented in heavy well worn leather with marbled endpapers, with matching paper used to cover strengthened hinges. Backstrip has been expertly relaid.
