Description:
Aberystwyth: Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru National Library of Wales, 1987. Limited Edition . Hardcover. Fine. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. In attractive full brown, boxed cloth, gilt titles to spine. Internally, [7] ff, [1], 2-555 ff, title page in red & black inks, cream endpapers. With its custom brown cloth slip case. (297*207 mm). A University of Wales production, which is a facsimile copy of the 1588 Bishop Morgan Bible. A lovely example of an important and always useful title! Morgan, bishop of St Asaph and biblical translator has been called 'the single most important figure in the history of the Reformation in Wales' (Williams, Wales and the Reformation, 342), because it was he who brought to completion the translation of the Bible into Welsh. The Book of Common Prayer, including the psalter, and the New Testament had been translated in 1567, but the task was left unfinished. See ODNB.
