Woodcut printer's mark on title page of the Booke of Common Prayer.
The woodcut border to the Bible title page is a frame having twenty-four small compartments, showing on the left - the tents of the twelve tribes; on the right - figures of the twelve Apostles; the inner part exhibits the four Evangelists, with the symbols of the Dove and the Agnus Dei, and a lamp, and two open books inscribed Verbum Dej Manet in Aeternum; the letterpress of the title is enclosed within a heart-shaped frame in the center. Cf. Pollard & Redgrave, Short Title Catalog of English Books 1475-1640.
The printer used Roman type instead of the traditional "Black Letter" for the first time in English Scriptures. Also for the first time in the 1560 edition, the Bible had numbered verse divisions in.
