Provenance 'New Testament (by Tyndale & Joy) in 12 - Endhoven Antwerpen August 1534. The Bibliographers have all agreed in stating that only three copies of this rare edition are known - viz. in St Paul's Library - Ld Pembroke's at Wilton - & at Bristol from Dr Gifford. Dr Cotton, very curious in his researches on this subject, assures me that, after the most diligent examination of the above three libraries, he has ascertained beyond all question that the present edition is not in any of those 3 libraries, neither does he believe that any other copy than mine is to be found. It appears that when the Flemish booksellers began in August 1534 to print Tindale's English N. Testament they employed Joy to correct the prefs, in doing which he made several changes in it. Tindale, dissatisfied with this, had another edition printed at Antwerp by Emperour in November 1534 in the preface to which he complains of the changes made by Joy in the present edition, and particularly charges him with having studiously omitted or changed the word 'Resurrection' in many passages which Tindale quotes. Joy in reply wrote 'An Apology' in the same year 1534, which is now a rare tract. The present copy was bought by me from Thorpe who had putchased it from Constable at Edinburgh, after his bankruptey in 1826.' (pasted on fl3r)
