The preface is signed "I.D." i.e. James Duport a popular professor of Greek at the University of Cambridge who had the year before printed a translation of the Psalter which appears here with the BCP as issued under a separate title-page and Ordinal along with the Greek New Testament and Apocrypha the title-page of the New Testament being an insert and the Apocrypha having separate pagination. This is only the second translation of the BCP into Greek following the first by Elias Petley in 1638. There were apparently two settings of this edition produced by printer John Field in the same year under the same title and imprint with priority not established; the present example has line six of the main title-page all in capital letters and the "Alma mater Cantabrigia" device following the last page of the Psalter but while the sun is on the left and the cup on the right of the Psalter title-page device they are reversed on the New Testament title-page apparently indicating that the New Testament is from a variant post-dating the BCP and Psalter.<br>Â Â Â Â Binding: Contemporary mottled calf Cambridge-style covers framed in double gilt fillets and panelled in triple gilt fillets with gilt-tooled corner fleurons; spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label and gilt-ruled compartments.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Front free endpaper with early inscription in red pencil: "Gibson's / Queens / Oxon. / 1787."

The guiding force behind their production was James Duport 160679 dean of Peterborough and master of Magdelene College Cambridge a noted scholar of Latin and Greek and supporter of the university press. The preface to the Book of Common Prayer is signed with his initials and it is established that he was the editor of the Psalms; the texts were almost certainly issued together but are also at times found individually in contemporary binding.<br>Â Â Â Â Field's minute typography here is dense and presented chiefly in double-column format in both works; and instead of woodcut head- or tailpieces and xylographic initials he deploys printer's ornaments to enliven the text at the top of some sections and occasionally elsewhere. => The layout is overall lovely and thoughtful and the printing is extremely clear and precise.<br>Â Â Â Â Binding: Contemporary morocco with covers framed in a single blind fillet; spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label and gilt-stamped compartment decorations. Marbled endpapers all edges gilt. => All pages ruled in red in the best style of the era.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Isaac Watts 16741748 the godfather of English hymnody is also fondly remembered for his Psalms of David: Imitated in the Language of the New Testament a work that was reprinted over a thousand times. His ownership signature is on the blank leaf opposite the BCP title-page here. Later the volume was owned by Charles Mayo 17671858 a scholar of Old English who dated his ownership as "St. John's College Oxford 1787."

Beza personally owned this codex and presented it to Cambridge University in 1581.<br>Â Â Â Â This is the first folio edition of the Greek New Testament to be printed in England as well as the => first GreekLatin edition of Beza's New Testament to be printed there.

The same setting was imposed in both quarto and octavo formats the latter with rules separating the columns of text. In regard to institutional representation the edition in quarto is much more uncommon than that in octavo: ESTC locates 4 copies of the quarto printing in North America as opposed to 19 of the octavo printing. Occasionally Daniel's reprint of the New Testament is bound up with the octavo printings to form a complete Bible. Brunet cites that format but notes the sale of a copy on "Gr.

An important and attractive publication sponsored by the States General of Holland to foster amity between the Greek and Reformed Churches. The modern Greek was prepared by the monk Maximus of Gallipoli and the edition was authorized by the Patriarch of Constantinople Cyril Lucarius who contributed a Preface. The edition is reported to have consisted of some 1500 copies. The rationale behind the preparation of this text was much the same as the impetus leading to the publication by Elzevier of a modern Greek translation of the Dutch Reformed Catechism in 1648.

The first edition of the Septuagint printed in England was published by Roger Daniel 1653 with the second appearing in Walton's Polyglot edition of 1657. This edition published by John Field Printer to Cambridge University is also the first to contain the praefatio paraenetica of J. Pearson. Issued in two slight variant forms with differing Greek titles this is the issue without the Apocrypha. The presence of the Scottish Psalter printed by Evan Tyler of Edinburgh at the end of the final of these three volumes combined with the later Scottish provenance makes this cataloguer wonder if these volumes were used - and perhaps even bound - in Scotland. Provenance: Sir Walter Wilson Greg 1875-1959 Shakespearean scholar and bibliographer best known for his A Bibliography of the English Printed Drama to the Restoration. . Third English edition. 12mo.

Eighteenth-century gilt-tooled brick-red morocco. Lightly rubbed and marked. Early manuscript quotation in the original greek from Ephrem the Syrian to FFEP; in what appears to be the same hand as the ownership inscriptions 'Rob: Hawkesworth / His Book / 1709' to verso of title page and head of p.1. Preliminaries a little dampstained at head. Later armorial bookplate to FEP of the Gaddesden library with pencilled shelf marks to front blank fly-leaf. A Greek Testament printed at least in part at the Elzevir press for London bookseller Richard Whittaker fl.1618-49 with the device of the former on the title page. The text is near identical to the Elzevir's own second edition of the Greek New Testament printed the same year apart from as noted by Darlow and Moule 'four passages in three of which it adopts readings found in H. Stephanus' edition of 1576'. Richard Whittaker had previously printed an edition in 1622 with a different text though the same supplementary material appears here. The house of Elzevir reissued some copies under their own imprint in 1641. ESTC S90878 Darlow and Moule 4680 STC 2798.5. 8vo. Apud [B. and A. Elzevir for] Richardum Whittakerum unknown
