"The text has been selected from Wiclif's translation of the New Testament ... The borders and ornaments which embellish the letterpress pages are exact fac-similes of those used in a Book ofhours ... printed by T. Kerver, in Paris, 1525 ... The paper has been specially made by hand ... The binding ... design ... [has] been taken from an early book in the British Museum."
