Typed in extra title page on last image (11)
PFS: this seems to be what the bibliographers call a "cancel" (see John Carter, ABC for Book Collectors (6th ed., 1992), s.v. 'cancel.')--a substitute title page, with some slight differences. It is not, therefore, strictly speaking a duplicate image, and should be retained in the text.

Part of the title page looks like it might be hand-written, but I've left it as I'm not certain. Also added <FIGURE> tags and their Biblical references from the title page because it seemed useful information.
PFS: I think what you have here is an engraved title page-- one that is printed from an engraving, rather than from set type. Hence the cursive, hand-written appearance to the text. We've been doing two things to distinguish such title pages from others:
(1) we give it TYPE="engraved title page" instead of "title page"; and
(2) we place the entire contents of the title page within <FIGURE>
tags (which may include subordinate <FIGURE>s.
e.g.:
<DIV1 TYPE="engraved title page">
<PB REF="1">
<PB REF="1" MS="Y">
<PB REF="2">
<P><PB REF="2" MS="Y">

Sometimes a book will have both an engraved title page and an ordinary one set from standard type. In that case we treat them as two DIVs, one TYPE="title page" and other TYPE="engraved title page".
