Size: 175 x 225 mm (approx.)
Condition:
[pp.1-[38] (i.e. A2-F2), a2-a8, A1-3O8 (O.T), title page (3P1), 3P2-4G1]
With 34pp of the genealogical charts bound at the front followed by the description of Canaan with the double page map on the verso. Small stain at the foot of 3C1 and verso obscuring a few letters of the margin commentary, not affecting the main text. Lacks all after 4G1 thus the text ends at Revelations 21:22, and so lacks one leaf at the rear so lacking the final chapter of Revelations. Small part of the edge of leaf A2 (pp.1) lacking as pictured, this leaf is also detached but present. Lacks main title page of Old Testament as typical (A1).
Probably original or very near contemporary full calf binding. Some loss to the backstrip of the spine, particularly at the head where the netting is exposed. Joints split with both boards detached, but present. Boards rubbed and in need of a clean but generally fair and could be retained if rebacked. Page edges very good.
