Bemerkung:

- Neues Testament in osmanisch-türkischer Sprache, gedruckt in Paris - The New Testament in Ottoman Turkish is based on the first translation by Ali Ufki Bey. It was printed in Paris using 17th-century Arabic types, which were previously utilized in Napoleon?s Cairo press. This typeface is considered one of the most elegant designs created in the West. - "The Bookbinder founded by Thomas Burn in 1781 in Middle Row, Holborn, [London], later moving to No. 37 Kirby Street, Hatton Garden, where he admitted his son, James Frederick Burn into partnership. As Burn and Son the firm obtained a share of the binding of the British and Foreign Bible Society and continued to work for the company for over forty years."
