English Annotations of the Old and New Testaments by the Westminster Divines

Apparently a massive compilation of the Westminster Divines. The Reformation Commentary on Scripture cites from this work frequently. It was edited by John Downame. I would love it if Logos produced this old classic! More about Downame here.

Would anyone else be interested?

Also does anyone know if it's available in something with a more modern typeset?

Thanks for the suggestion Liam, I'll look into it.

Great! Thanks Mike! Here’s a link to the PDFs of the 2 vol. version. I found that the Puritan Hard Drive also has a 6 volume which is probably in much better shape. https://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/book/lookupid?key=olbp78144

I would absolutely love it! Sometimes known as the 'Westminster Annotations'. I use the Puritan Hard Drive version myself. Note that there a few different editions:

'The first edition had only very concise comments. The second edition put out in 1651 was greatly expanded. The third edition of 1657-8 was further revised and was considered the final, standard edition. Only later did the Annotations become colloquially known as The Westminster Annotations' (quote from Donald John Maclean who used them for his PhD thesis on James Durham - Puritan Hard Drive have the 3rd edition)

Good info Stephen! I didn’t even know of it until I started digging in to the Luke volume of the reformation commentary on scripture a little!

I know this response is rather late, but there are the "1645 English Annotations" available for e-Sword.

As to the source and overall quality of it, you'd have to ask the module maker.

I think I'll try to post this as a Logos book suggestion.

There's a really helpful (1995) article on the Annotations here.

At least 6 of the 8 authors would become Westminster divines.

The 1645 edition mentioned above has the advantage that it's on EEBO, but it sounds from the above article that it was too concise to be particularly useful. The 1657 version would be ideal.
