It was the Danish King Frederik II who commissioned a new edition of the first Danish folio Bible (1550). However, he died in 1588, just before the work was finished. The Bible was the first to be printed by a Dane (Vingaard) and it was the largest printing undertaken in Denmark during the 16th century.
Some repair to margins of last c. 20 pages.
