Library — 1608; 17th century
The Bible. That is, the Holy Scriptures conteined in the Old and New Testament
Bible, water and fire damaged, said to have been burnt in the Great Fire of London. Missing prelims and all bibliographic information. Incomplete, ending after Prophets. However, from format details identified by British Library as 1608 Geneva Bible published by Robert Barker [ESTC S3400]. Evidence of once fine binding, with metal corner decoration. Impossible to give pagination given fragile and incomplete nature of the volume. Paper label on front cover of Cheltenham College Museum, states ' Bible from the Fire of London (in 1666) presented by Mrs Walker'. Cheltenham College archivist confims this was given to the college by Mrs Walker on 14 October 1870. Very light pencil inscription inside front cover reads "This Bible was at Mr Harding St Martins Lane in the Fire of London".
