There are two separate title pages, the first being a decorated, engraved example. Additionally bound is a late 17th century edition of the Book of Common Prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThere are several ownership inscriptions, dating back as early as 1732 for one Elizabeth, and one from 1747 for one Liza(?). The last inscription appears to be dated 1822.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis volume most recently belonged to the library collection of Mulberry House, a former rectory of High Ongar church.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis volume is present in what was once a fine, contemporary leather binding, now worn by poor care and preservation, but with the impression of Cambridge panel tooling still present. There is a rather interesting spine reinforcement that appears to be an early repair attempt, and an ill-fitting silver clasp which has visibly pinched the boards. The fore-edge also shows faint signs of gauffering and gilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOne volume in 32mo (11.7 x 6.2 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis volume is in good shape, with rubbing and wear to the binding, heavier to the edges. There is very little foxing or staining throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"That Guy With The Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51818888069431,"sku":null,"price":1450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/1589\/4371\/files\/PhotoCollageMaker_202632516247494.jpg?v=1774619067","url":"https:\/\/thatguywiththebooks.com\/products\/the-holy-bible-containing-the-old-testament-and-the-new-bound-with-the-whole-book-of-psalms-collected-into-english-meter-1676-1677-contemporary-binding-with-a-curious-spine-and-silver-clasp-and-early-women-ownership-inscriptions","provider":"That Guy With The Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
