Sternhold's "Metrical Psalms (n.d.) which are almost invariably found in copies of the Bible dated 1599, may perhaps be considered an essential part of the book, though they have a separate title and distinct register; no imprint is given." Cf. Herbert.

"The section containing the Apocrypha, though included in the list of books, was apparently omitted from all except a few copies. These Bibles were printed probably for English use in the Low Countries." Cf. Herbert.

"There are many editions bearing this date, which while agreeing closely are yet distinct. No doubt a certain number of copies were originally issued in a mixed state. The nominal date, 1599, is probably untrue in almost every case; they were apparently published at different times in Amsterdam and Dort and adopted by Barker." Cf. Herbert.
