See Wood’s Fasti Oxon., ed. Bliss, i. 308. Patrick Young was Library Keeper to the King’s Library at St. James’s Palace (now the Old Royal Library at the British Museum), and edited this book from the Alexandrine MS. of the Greek Bible. Red ink is used in the words underlined above, and for “Oxonii,” and “Academiæ” in the imprint, and for all words in the text which are supplied by the editor, who calls it “Novum et inusitatum imprimendi genus”. Some copies are on large paper, and some have an inserted leaf containing “Summa Privilegii”, reserving rights of translation, reproduction and sale for ten years. This leaf is found before or after the dedication.

Impr. 69: 1633: 16mo.
At present only known from a titlepage in the Bagford Collections at the British Museum (463. h. 4, no. 1110), but it is not likely to be really rare. The 2nd edition seems to have been issued abroad in 1620, and a “3rd” in 1630, of which this is probably a reprint.
