This is Nicolson's first edition of Coverdale's New Testament, printed while Coverdale was in Paris, superintending the printing of the Great Bible, 1539. It was intended to be an adaptation of his edition of 1535, (which had been translated from the Greek), to the accompanying version in Latin. His intention is stated in his Dedication of the Paris edition in November of this same year, 1538, namely, "that the correctour shulde followe the true copye of the latyn in anye wyse and kepe the true and right Englishe of And so doynge I was content the same. But upon obtainto set my name to it." ing a copy he complains that he found it did not agree with his former translation in English, and was not a true copy of the Latin text. This edition was unknown to Lewis and others. In Heber's Catalogue it is said, "This is the first of the two editions printed in the same year, and the Edition of which Coverdale endeavoured to call in all the copies." Mr. Offor, upon an attentive reading of the two editions printed this year, one in the name of Coverdale, the that, other of Hollybushe, is satisfied though copied one from the other, they are distinct editions; and both of them In Matthew XXVI. letvery incorrect. ter c, 'before the cock synge, thou shalt denye me thryse,' is corrected in the one by Hollybushe to 'before the cock do crowe,' &c.

This is Nicolson's Second edition of Coverdale's New Testament, and so closely resembles the first, that it is difficult to distinguish them without having them before you. Nothing is known of Holly bushe, whose name ap. pears on the title-page. It is probably a pseudonym adopted by the printer in consequence of the complaints of Cover. dale against the inaccuracies of the former edition.
