The only English-language version of the Bible published in Mary's reign was a New Testament in octavo printed in Geneva in 1557 by Protestant exiles. The King's Printer's privilege in the Authorized Version was (and remains) qualified: by virtue of royal charters granted to them separately the universities of Oxford and Cambridge could also claim the right to print it and thereby to share in the considerable profits that might be made from it. When royal authority collapsed in the early 1640s the Bible privilege ceased to be of value. The shortage was met in part by unauthorized editions imported from Holland. The Book of Common Prayer was treated in the same way in the printing house in being equipped with press figures and paper-quality marks when necessary. It differed, however, from the Bible in not apparently being pirated. The revisions were accommodated by setting the whole text anew, producing cancels, ranging from paste-over slips to whole gatherings.
