A relatively tall copy with wider margins than typically seen. ************************* The second quarto edition of Coverdale's diglot Testament. The first was printed in the same year, also by Nicolson, but Coverdale was rather unhappy with the number of errors and set out to print an edition in Paris. But Nicolson, on his own account, published this second corrected edition, and while many errors were corrected, many still remained such as errors in page numbering. One revision present here which is often cited (and which Herbert cites) is in Matthew 26, C, where the text reads "before the cocke do crowe" as opposed to the earlier "before the cock synge."
