Baskerville Bible

Thanks Pedro, that’s helpful as regards the Boulton owned Baskerville Bible. What a wonderful item with its Boulton family annotations. Good to hear it was bought through the collaboration of several Birmingham organisations and is now permanently in the Cadbury Research Library, Birmingham University.

Be good to find out if there still is/was another Baskerville print of the Bible at St Phillips.

Think this deserves a separate thread, shall set one up. Some background about the Bible is also contained in posts #34 onwards on this thread https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/john-baskerville.48298/page-2
