Cambridge: James Field 1664. 12mo. 1 f 171 1 blank pp. lacks blank leaf k6.<br>Â Â Â Â The mid-17th century was a low point in the history of English typography but in this pair of Anglican religious texts James Field printer to the University of Cambridge produced => a very good example of the printer's art of Greek printing especially in the use of a small point size. 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."

A choice copy of the third English edition of the Greek Septuagint printed by John Field at Cambridge bound uniformly - in handsome seventeenth-century sombre bindings - with Field's companion New Testament in Greek a reprint of the Thomas Buck edition Cambridge 1632 and the 1650 first edition of the Scottish Metrical Psalter. 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.

In 1575, he published his Sacra Bibliotheca Sanctorum Patrum in 8 volumes, gathering the works of ca. 200 early church writers, many of which were printed for the first time. It was re-edited, with the same title, in 1589 (2nd ed.) and 1610 (3r ed.). Subsequently it was re-edited with the title "(Magna) Bibliotheca Veterum Patrum.." in Cologne (1618-1622 in 14 vols.) and in Paris in 1624 (11 vols.) and 1644 (17 vols). Our 1654-edition is a re-edition of the Paris-1644-edition in 17 volumes. De La Bignes work was a strategic reponse to the Protestant Reformation, aiming to demonstrate that the Catholic doctrine was firmly rooted in the writings of the early Church Fathers. By providing authorized versions of texts and by providing such a large collection of patristic texts which previously existed only as manuscripts and/or separate works de La Bigne is considered to be the founder of modern patrology and precursor of the 19th cy.

This appeared in 1653 and was edited by the Socinian John Biddle. Its publication may have owed something to the interest in the Septuagint generated by Codex Alexandrinus and the frustration produced by the failure of Young's attempts to edit it" S. Mandelbrote "English Scholarship and the Greek Text of the Old Testament" p. 87.<br /> <br /> A rare issue from the same setting as the octavo edition imposed in quarto without rules separaring the columns.
