The volume is lacking the front board and title page. All the pages in the volume are damaged (rough edges, some tears – especially to the front of the Bible). Mould, foxing and water damage are evident throughout the volume. The leather spine covering is cracked and desiccated. The item is wrapped in protective covering. Very careful manual handling is required.

Another copy of Haydock’s (1774-1849) edition of the Bible is extant in the Kilkenny Friary library collection at CA KK/10/47.
