While the title page does not state a year, several historical clues identify its age, specifically The Publisher's imprint "Humphrey Milford / Oxford University Press.”
Sir Humphrey Milford was the head of Oxford University Press's London operations from 1913 to 1945. Any Bible with his name on the title page must have been printed within this window.
Uncredited/ Anonymous Editor: E.W. Bullinger
The title page purposely omits E.W. Bullinger's name. This was done intentionally so the work would "commend itself, on its own merits" rather than be associated with a single individual. Bullinger himself passed away in 1913, just as these parts were being disseminated by Milford at Oxford.
Publisher: Humphrey Milford, Oxford University Press. London, New York, Toronto & Melbourne.
Estimated date:
Historical records indicate that Part III was specifically issued around 1913–1914.
The book begins at page 720 - 929, followed by appendixes for part III, pages 87-112.
