John Baskett was the leading publisher of English Bibles in the first half of the 18th century. From 1710 to 1743 he had a monopoly on Bible publishing in England and Scotland. Despite this version s obvious attractiveness, however, it earned the nickname A Baskett-ful of Errors due to the large number of typographical mistakes. The book earned its title Vinegar Bible from the biggest typo of all, the misprinted headline above Luke XX which states The parable of the vinegar instead of The parable of the vineyard. Two distinct varieties of the Vinegar Bible occur, but this is Type A with the large frontispiece engraved by Du Bose showing Moses writing the first words of Genesis, title page vignette with scene of Oxford, and engraving of the Annunciation on the New Testament title page. Type B, on the other hand, had engravings illustrating allegorical subjects instead of Bible story scenes. Herbert 942A. 6 Vinegar Bible 1717 Attic Books
