Printed in an edition limited to 320 numbered copies of which this is one of 155 numbered copies for the United States. Near fine in near fine slipcase. Scarce in this condition. Finely printed in Zeno type on Magnani mould-made paper. (Officina Bodoni no.126). English text from the Authorized, or King James, version of the Bible. Wood-engraved title page by Reynolds Stone and with 114 woodcuts taken from Epistole et Evangelii (Florence, 1495) cut for this book by Bruno Bramanti, except for the last eight, which were cut after his death by his pupil Italo Zetti. This was Bramanti's last work for this press. One of the finest productions of the Officina Bodoni.
