I. BMC Bible p. 200 - Jähn 78th - II. Bauer 4.4.9 - FdF 1843 - Jantz 933a - De Backer-S. IV, 78, 3rd - I. Later edition - II. First edition. - The information on the number of plates (Weigel) in the reference copies in the trade and in the bibliographies varies: Bauer probably erroneously gives a total number of 259 plates for the first edition. Contrary to Jantz and Bauer, the plates for the Apocalypse (numbered 101-108) were probably only included in later editions. Faber du Faur lists 152 leaves for the Old Testament and 100 leaves for the New Testament. - The Apocrypha (pp. 299-486) bound to the end of vol. 2. - Isolated sheet with small tears at margins (partly reinforced at back side), margins somewhat browned, fingerstained in places, vol. I at lower margin somewhat damp.
