A New Medium for a 'New Kind of Printing': an Electronic
Edition of a Little Gidding Gospel Concordance

The "concordances" made at Little Gidding by the extended Ferrar
family (c.1630-1640) were not concordances in the regular sense, but
rather books which combined two or more biblical books into a new
whole via a "new kind of printing." This new printing worked by
cutting printed texts and images, reordering them, and pasting them
on what would become the pages of the new book. While these fragile
books have received considerable scholarly attention, they have not
yet been made available in a satisfactory facsimile. Microfilm cannot
capture their physical construction and their vast size prohibits
print reproduction. The electronic medium, alternately, seems ideally
suited to these books: able to capture an image of their physical
construction and, through textual encoding, to record and bring to
life their database-like structure. This paper will describe the
beginnings of an electronic edition of the best-known concordance: the
gospel book made for Charles I.
