Parts of the Bible in two Spanish versions, in parallel columns:
- (1) in the old version printed first at Ferrara, MS. Bodl. 366 contains the Pentateuch, Joshua, Judges, i and ii Sam., and i Kings as far as xv. 18: MS. Bodl. 367 contains i and ii Chron., Ezra, Nehemiah, the Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Daniel, Ecclesiastes, Isaiah
- (2) in the version of Cypriana de Valera, here in more than one hand, MS. Bodl. 366 contains Genesis, Exodus, Numbers i-xxvi, and MS. Bodl. 367 nothing
Both versions are of course Protestant, and the second is not as Valera printed his Bible in 1602, but is an earlier form (more like a paraphrase), e.g. Gen. i. 2 shows 'descompuesta, desadornada y vazia': but Valera's name, which is not in the MS., is assigned to it in the record of gift, and parts of it may be in his hand.
