Editorial Comments on STC 24437: The title-page
is no. 3988 in Nijhoff and Kronenberg.
Thirty-six lines per page, seven ornamental capitals (A1v,
A5, E1v, G1, I4, L2v, O2), running-titles, text and sidenotes all in 68
textura, catchwords except before the beginning of major divisions (A4v,
C1v, F8, I3v, R5v, S3v). There is no running -title on E3v, F8v,
G1, I4. In the preceding list of running-titles, O'Donnell has included
the variants in parentheses and has silently corrected the following
errors: wheter (C3), ceremonys (F2), cermonies (F3v), Mastes (G7),
angenst (G7v), answeere (H1v and I7v),
his (I1), More (16). In the running-titles, all
initial "w"s have been capitalized; "Vw" has been normalized as "W"; all
final periods have been removed.

There are only four extant copies of STC 24437. A2–4 were collated
against a reproduction of A1.
|
|
|
A1, Folger Shakespeare Library, bound with Tyndale's
The practyse of Prelates, STC 24465. The
title-pages of Prelates and Answer each contain the signature "Iohan bale." R8r—v is
missing and has been supplied by a xerox from the British Library.
There are marginalia written in secretary hand.
A2, British Library, C.37—a.26.
A3, Cambridge University Library, Syn.8.53.43, used by
Henry Walter for the Parker Society edition. This copy is bound with
John Frith's A
disputacion of purgatorye, STC 11386.5.
A4, Trinity College Library, Dublin, FF.mm. 32. As in
Cambridge, this copy is bound with John Frith's A
disputacion of purgatorye, STC 11386.5. A1–8, F4–5, N1–8
are missing. The outer margins have been trimmed, cutting away
portions of notes in secretary hand.

The error "beius" for "eius" (A8, 7 lines from bottom), which occurs
in Folger and Cambridge, is corrected in London; gathering A is
missing in Dublin. Sidenote 2 on D6 reads right to left in Folger and
London, but is corrected in Cambridge and Dublin.
D7v is erroneously reprinted without sidenotes on F8v in Folger
and London
; F8v is blank in Cambridge. In Dublin a blank page is pasted on
F8v, but it can be partially lifted to reveal D7v. In Folger the "u" in
"must" (Q4, line 14) has slipped down to the next line (which is half
blank), but is firmly in place in London,
Cambridge and Dublin. A blank (S4r—v) is
missing in Folger and London, but is present in Cambridge and
Dublin.

The Folger distinguishes between two issues: "Folger 24435.8," in which
the date on the title-page is printed as "1572" but changed by hand to
"1573"; "Folger 24436," in which the date on the title-page is printed
as "1573.'' The revised STC lists all copies as "24436 . . .
1573 (1572)" and notes, "Several copies . . .
have the gen. tp dated 1572 and altered in ink to 1573."

Copy 1: Signature "William Laud: /" is written on the
title-page for The Workes of . . . Iohn Frith
(GG3r, p. 1). The second inscription is: "The scarce Portrait
inserted is from 'Holland's Heroologia' [sic]. A copy on a | reduced
scale of this head is prefixed to 'Anderson's Annals of the English
Bible'."
This portrait has been pasted on the page facing the
title-page.
Copy 2: On the title-page a name at the top right has
been heavily crossed out; the central compartment and the printer's
motto have been tinted ochre; the title-page has been repaired. Many
topics relevant to the political situation in the mid 17c have been
added to the indices, e.g.: "Kings not to be obey'd against
Conscience" (EE4r, p. 479); "Bps. should be liberal" (YY3, p. 173);
and "Ministers should be no Lords" (RRr4r, p. 379). The last
page before the final index is signed: "376 | 1649 | J. Poole" and
"J. Nevill Poole" (RRr2v, p. 376).
Copy 3: John T. Beer, a previous owner, made the
painting on the fore-edge similar to the engraving of the martyrdom
of Tyndale (A4r, p. vii). An extra leaf before the title-page is
inscribed in red ink: "Rhod Gwylim Alaw | iw Nai | Rhinallt Navalaw
ap Ioan Pughe | 1853 | [arabesque]". Another page is stamped "IOAN
AP RUW / FEDDY G[?]" (A3v, p. vi). This owner added in red ink
"Tyndall was a Welshman" next to "that we cal Iohn, the Welshman
call Euan" (C3, p. 5). Another hand has written in brown ink:
"Alphabet | Libri | Lexe" (PPp5v, p. 358).

Editorial Comments on Folger 24435.8 and Folger 24436: There are two series of
paginations, one for works of Tyndale and another for works of Frith
and Barnes. Answer to More is found on pp.
247–339 of works of Tyndale; p. 332 is misnumbered 337 and vice
versa. There are seventy-two lines per column in preface, sixtytwo
lines in main text, and two columns per page throughout. Main
text is in 72 textura; prologue and sidenotes are in 63 textura
.
Running-titles, Latin quotations and some proper names are in
italic. A few Greek words are given in Greek letters. Chapter and
section headings, most proper names, biblical references in
sidenotes (but not in text), and quotations from More's Dialogue Concerning Heresies are in roman.
There are three large engravings: martyrdom of Tyndale (A4r, p.
vii), martyrdom of Barnes and two companions (*AAa1*v, p. 178), and
allegorical Judgement weighing Verbum Dei against papal
decretals (RRr4v, p. 380). Within Answer to
More, there are large ornamental capitals introducing:
Preface (Hh2r, p. 247), Foundational Essay (Hh3r, p. 249), Answer to
Book 1 (Kk6r, p. 279), Answer to Book 2 (Mm1r, p. 293), Answer
to Book 3 (Mm6r, p. 303), Answer to Book 4 (Oo2r, p. 319), and an
arabesque tailpiece (Pp6r, p. 339). Catchwords are added to second
columns only.
Editorial Comments on Folger 24435.8: There
are two copies, each of which has been collated against Answer to More, STC 24437. Copy 1 has "c" in
"ceremonie," but "c" is missing in Copy 2 (Hh6v, p. 256, column 2,
14 lines from the bottom). Copy 1 has handwritten notes for adding
"r" to "hauest" and striking final "1" from "vntill" (Ii2v, p. 260,
column 1, 9 lines from the bottom). Copy 2 prints "haruest,
vntil".
Editorial Comments on Folger 24436: The
library contains three copies, each of which has been collated
against the two copies of Folger 24435.8 in the twenty-some places
where the latter contains errors. The three copies of Folger
24436 give the "c" in "ceremonie " (Hh6v, p. 256, column 2, 14
lines from the bottom) as in Folger 24435.8, Copy 1. They print the
corrected "haruest, vntil"
(Ii2v, p. 260, column 1, 9 lines from the
bottom) as in Folger 24435.8, Copy 2. Otherwise, they repeat the
errors of Folger 24435.8.
