Provenance: a few contemporary marginal notes in ink; Cardiff Castle bookplate.
Although the title states the book to be by Coverdale, he is merely the translator. First published in 1541, this work was evidently popular and went through a number of editions in the 16th century, of which this is the last. All are very rare. STC 4053. A FINE COPY.
