London: Richard Jugge, 1566. 4to (9" x 6.5"). An attractive and profusely illustrated quarto Tyndale New Testament. This is the third edition of Jugge's revision and the final Tyndale New Testament. A scarce book in a remarkably well-preserved contemporary binding with nearly one hundred woodcuts.

Description: General title page in photographic facsimile. Calendar printed in red and black. Eighty-three woodcuts in ninety-four occurrences including a map of Palestine and a map of St. Paul's journeys. Text in single column black letter type in paragraph format. This handsomely printed revision by Jugge is lavishly illustrated combining the woodblocks from the two previous editions with the blocks by Virgil Solis that were later used in the Bishops' Bible. The large title-page portrait features young king Edward, who awarded Jugge a license to print the first edition. First chapter woodcut initials cover eleven lines of text. Divisional printed title to the Epistles of St. Paul through Revelation. Text presented with 38 lines to the full column. Jugge's revision served as an effort to bring the English translation closer to the original Greek. The last of the over forty editions of Tyndale's New Testament, with the headlines in Roman type.

Collation: [flueron]^8 (-[fleuron]1-3), [par]^10, A-Y^8, Aa-Pp^8, Qq^4 (-Qq1-2,4). 312 ff. Lacks 6 leaves altogether (title page, dedication, first leaf of calendar, final leaf of Revelation, two leaves of the Tables).
