876pp. Printed on India paper and illustrated with black & white plates. Bound in full brown leather stamped in blind on the covers and lettered in gilt on the spine, with a pocket inside the rear cover containing a leather-bound magnifying glass. Attached to the rear cover is a metal chain that holds the book to a miniature wood lectern, as was the practice for full-sized Bibles in sixteenth-century English churches. There is a shelf for storage of the Bible under the lectern. On the bottom of the shelf is a paper label explaining how the Bible came to be chained - most examples of the lectern have the label at the underside of the base. Quite possibly among the most pristine examples extant: The Bible retains what appears to be an original white band, which has left faint residue to spine. Printing residue to top edge and to center of fore edge. Otherwise fine and minimally handled, if at all. Some staining to label and minimal wear to wood, as is usual, but lectern and chain otherwise fine. (Bible 1 7/8 by 1 3/8; 47x33mm; lectern 5 1/2 (height) by 3 1/8; 141x81mm).
