The only Folio Bible printed by Johanis Herbort and one of
the most beautiful. Copinger’s No. 59. Copinger considered this
edition of such great interest that he reproduces a page of the
text (Plate XXXV).

Binding with the original owner’s name on recto of first leaf:
“Di Matteo & Leo Morellj,” “Mathej Morellj et amicorum.”
The Bible contains the Vulgate text and prologues of St Jerome
(preceded by a Latin Epistle on this edition by “ Franciscus
Morreliensis a Genua,” and followed by Versus Memoriales on the
books of the Bible), the colophon, “ Interpretationes Hebraicorum
nominum,” six Latin verses on the Bible by Quintus Emylianus
Cymbriacus Poeta laureates,” and a Registrum Cartarum.
There are two fly-leaves of a large folio 12th century MS. in double
columns, containing parts of two sermons on the Last Supper, in
Latin.— Falconer Maidan, M.A.
