Sobre este artículo
Oxford: Printed by John Baskett, Printer to the University,, 1739 & 1751. A large Bible and prayer book for the Georgian lectern An imposing early Georgian lectern bible, together with the Prayer Book, both preserved in matching contemporary reversed calf bindings, and unusual thus. Baskett monopolized English bible production for decades, with his folio editions the grandest and most imposing, designed for use in churches. His great bible of 1717 was a truly impressive edition, of which Harry Carter, the historian of Oxford printing, writes "only Baskerville's Bible (Cambridge, 1763) is its equal among English Bibles for beauty of type, impression, and paper" (The History of the Oxford University Press, 1975, I, p. 171). Two works, folio (Bible: 464 x 288 mm; Prayer Book: 400 x 246). Contemporary panelled reversed calf. Engraved frontispiece in Prayer Book. Divisional title for New Testament with verso recording births and deaths in the Holgate Family in Whixley from 1809 to 1913. Both with minor repair at foot. Bible: front free endpaper affixed to pastedown, light peripheral wear, staining to fore margin, some worming in gutter of sigs. B and C in the New Testament (not affecting text). Prayer Book: slight rubbing and minor wormholes at head of spine. Handsome copies. ESTC T90374 & T216675; Bible: Darlow & Moule, 1042.
