At the end of sixteen of the books are placed initials, which are evidently those of the revisers. These, with more or less of certainty, have been identified with names given in the above list.[147] They are as follows, and in the following order:

Deuteronomy W. E. Bishop of Exeter. 2 Samuel R. M. Bishop of St. Davids. 2 Chronicles E. W. Bishop of Worcester. Job A. P. _C_ Andrew Pearson. Psalms[148] T. B. Thomas Beacon. Proverbs A. P. _C_ Andrew Pearson. Canticles A. P. _E_ Andrew Perne. Lamentations R. W. Bishop of Winchester. Daniel T. C.L. Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield. Malachi E. L. Bishop of London. Wisdom W. C. Bishop of Chichester. 2 Maccabees J. N. Bishop of Norwich. Acts R. E. Bishop of Ely. Romans R. E. Bishop of Ely. 1 Corinthians G. G. Gabriel Goodman.

From a list of the revisers, enclosed in a letter from Parker to Cecil, dated October 5th, 1568, and now in the State Paper Office, we may further gather that the Catholic Epistles and the Apocalypse were revised by Bishop Bullingham, the Gospels of Luke and John by Bishop Scambler, and that the portions undertaken by Parker himself were Genesis, Exodus, Matthew, Mark, and the Epistles from 2 Corinthians to Hebrews inclusive.[149]
