*** A MAGNIFICENT COPY-one of four known copies printed entirely upon vellum. (The red lines from title of Vol. I. have set off a little on to Frontispiece as invariably happens.) The other three copies are respectively in the British Museum, Bodleian Library, and the third formerly in Blenheim Palace. This latter copy was sold at the Sunderland Sale in 1818, and the Catalogue stated that “it is probably the only copy on vellum likely to occur for sale."

This edition is called "The Vinegar Bible" from an error in the running title at Luke, Chapter xx., where it reads, "The Parable of the Vinegar," instead of "The Parable of the Vineyard." It is also styled, punning on the publisher's name, "A Basket-ful of Errors" on account of other curious literal errors.
