The British Library, Oriental and India Office Collections, Blackfriars Road, Lon­don, contains two versions of the early Taiping Bible: the slightly modified Gutzlaff ver­sion,
Jiuyizhao shengshu
(comprising Genesis 1-28, call number 15116.b.9), and the only known surviving copy of
Qinding Jiuyizhao shengshu
(Genesis through Joshua) containing Hong's full range of revisions (call number 15117.e.20) For brevity, these will be cited here as Bibles A and B. A virtually complete listing of all variants is given by Wu Liangzuo and Luo Wenqi in their invaluable essay "Taiping Tianguo yinshu jiaokan ji," 267-73.
