One of the undestroyed "Wicked Bibles" was found in New Zealand.
In 1631, book printers Robert Barker and Martin Lucas made a mistake in the text of the Ten Commandments: they missed the "not" in the word "thou shalt not commit adultery. However, the mistake was noticed only a year after the publication of thousands of books, for which the authors lost their license and were fined a staggering £600, but then the fine was cancelled.
Almost all of the Adulterers' Bibles were destroyed, but a few are still found at auctions today.
