A very good copy amply-margined with fine crisp text throughout.<br /> <br /> Important edition of this Aramaic version of the biblical books of Chronicles attributed to Joseph ben Hiyya d. 333 a Babylonian amora and head of the Pumbedita academy near present-day Falluja Iraq. "Ben Hiyya was also distinguished in biblical exegesis and left an Aramaic translation of parts of the Bible which is often quoted. It is not to be assumed however that Joseph translated the whole Bible though the Aramaic translation of the Books of Chronicles is ascribed to him. Enc. Jud. The editio princeps edited from an Erfurt manuscript by Matthias Frederick Beck and accompanied by substantial annotations was published at Augsburg in 1680. "After this David Wilkins gave the public an edition from a Cambridge manuscript of which the text was more pure and more complete. The critic should unite both these editions the former for the value of its learned notes and the latter for its full and accurate text†The Biblical Repertory. <br /> <br /> The Coptic scholar David Wilkens 1685–1745 was born of Prussian parentage in Memel Lithuania. Little is known about his education in Germany probably in Berlin or how he acquired his knowledge of ancient and Semitic languages which was extensive rather than profound. He referred to the antiquarian Ezechiel Spanheim the elector of Brandenburg's ambassador in England from 1701 to 1710 as his former teacher. By 1707 Wilkins was studying at the Bodleian Library in Oxford and had encountered a group of clerical protectors in London. In 1709 engaged in preparing a history of the patriarchs of Alexandria which remained in manuscript and the editio princeps of the Coptic Bohairic New Testament the Novum Testamentum Aegyptium 1716 he left for the continent. He called on scholars examined manuscripts in Vienna Rome and Paris and stopped in Amsterdam in 1714 to see to the publication of his first works -- an edition of the Aramaic paraphrasis of the books of Chronicles and an Armenian version of the apocryphal third epistle to the Corinthians 1715 -- and of John Chamberlayne's polyglot edition of the Lord's prayer to which he contributed. Wilkins was an industrious scholar. In the three years he spent as librarian at Lambeth he made important contributions to the cataloguing of manuscripts. In 1721 he edited the Anglo-Saxon laws in 1725–6 the complete works of John Selden and in 1731 the Coptic Pentateuch. His main work was his Concilia Magnae Britanniae et Hiberniae an account of British church councils from 446 to 1717. Wilkins had many detractors -- John Gagnier the professor of Arabic at Oxford who deplored his incompetence in Arabic and Hebrew Edward Harley who described him as ‘a very great scoundrel’ and the cantankerous Thomas Hearne who as librarian at the Bodleian had watched him turn from a young man ‘of a civil Courteous and modest behaviour’ into ‘a vain ambitious man of little judgement tho' great industry’ ready to ‘do anything in the World for a little Money’ Alastair Hamilton: "Wilkens David" -- ODNB online.<br /> <br /> Provenance: From the library of G.H.A.

According to Barbier the French controversialist Thierry de Viaixnes 1659-1735 who found himself often at odds with his superiors was the principal editor of the work; at the time of its preparation he was serving as director of an academy at Hautvilliers in the diocese of Rheims McClintock & Strong.<br /> <br /> Dedicated to Johann Friederich Karg von Bebenburg 1648-1719 whose signed portrait was drawn and engraved by C.

He served as Dean of Our Lady in Munich and was entrusted by Emperor Leopold I with a legation to Pope Innocence XI.

17445955Londini London: Typis J. Brindley 1744. 13 vols 12mo. Title-pages engraved ruled in red throughout. Contemporary red morocco by Brindley’s workshop boards bordered with gilt rules and gilt corner-pieces spines divided by raised bands gilt black morocco labels other compartments tooled centrally in gilt with ‘Golden fleece’ tool marbled endpapers a different pattern in each volume. A little toning in places first gathering of Caesar vol. 2 loose. Bindings rubbed spines dulled some spine ends worn or defective a number of labels lost or chipped several joints cracked but none detached some creasing or cracking to a few spines. Armorial bookplate of Cosmo Gordon Duke of Gordon and more modern Gordon Castle library shelf-labels to pastedowns early shelfmark numbering in ink to head of title-pages. An unusual surviving example of a substantial portion of Brindley’s Latin classics in Brindley’s original trade bindings. This is the first thirteen volumes in the series which was intended to rival the Elzevirs for small format and fine typography and which ultimately reached 24 volumes. Many of them - and all the ones here - were edited by Usher Gahagan d.1749 an Irish scholar of some talent but either poor morals or poor choice of friends; he was arrested with a compatriot in 1748/9 for a plan to file coins and hanged a month later. The series may have gone on longer in his absence had Brindley himself not died in 1759; the last publication in it was a 1760 reissue of the Tacitus of 1754 with Brindley’s successor’s name added to the imprint. Brindley was bookseller and binder to Frederick Prince of Wales entitling him to use the ‘Feathers’ engraving on the title-pages of these volumes. As a binder Brindley also specialised in royal work and used a distinctive dolphin tool in a number of bindings but the ‘Golden fleece’ present on the spines here is another tool regularly used by Brindley especially for copies of his little Latin classics. These were available ready-bound in his shop on New Bond Street and special small shelves to hold them remained in the premises into the 20th century. The elegant variation in endpapers on a set otherwise exactly matchingly bound is an attractive touch. This set represents the complete series as of the end of 1745. A Quintus Curtius followed in 1746 but there was then a pause until after Gahagan’s death with the next volume being the Catullus of 1749. They were probably originally purchased by Cosmo George Gordon 3rd Duke of Gordon 1720-1752 who entered the House of Lords in 1748 and may therefore have been too occupied elsewhere to complete the ongoing series.

Seven volumes with the ca. 1711 engraved armorial bookplate of Jean Le Normand 1662-1733 Bishop of Evreau and probably bound for him his bookplate probably removed from volumes II and III as bound. 24mo in 8s 11.5 x 7 cm. With a richly engraved general title page 6 volume title pages each with the same Plantin-Moretus woodcut compasses device a smaller woodcut compasses device plus 3 of 4 repeats 2 appear on the back of the colophon; each of the others on an otherwise blank leaf woodcut tailpieces woodcut decorated initials. Set in roman and italic types. The present copy with 3 extra letterpress divisional title pages perhaps specially printed for this copy when it was bound. 7 volumes bound as 9 Old Testament I-VII & New Testament I-II. A small Latin Vulgate bible printed by the Plantin-Moretus office in Antwerp the smallest-format edition of the Sixtine-Clementine authorized Catholic text. The first volume of the Old Testament has only the engraved general title-page while each of the remaining Old Textament volumes as printed has a separate volume title-page naming the books it covers including the volume with the apocrypha miscellaneos texts and the indexes. After the general title-page follow a preface to the reader the decree of the Council of Trent "Paulus Papa V. Ad futuram rei memoriam" Pope Paul V died in 1621 and a privilege dated Brussels 1611. The Old Testament also has prefaces to the books. The New Testament has no preliminaries except its title-page. In 1546 the Council of Trent ordered a revision of the Vulgate Latin Bible to establish an authorized Catholic text. Pope Sixtus V ordered the preparation of the new edition printed by the Vatican Press and published in 1590. The book has been variously described as 12mo 16mo and 24mo but it is in fact a 24mo in 8s. The three divisional titles possibly printed specially for this copy have vertical chainlines and may be in 18mo format. The binding stamps are finely cut and skilfully applied especially the curls on the spine so it is likely to have been executed by one of the great French binders of ca. 1700.With an owner's inscription on a free endleaf in volume IV as bound "ce livre apartient a monseigneur L'Evesque D'Evreux" presumably Jean Le Normand 1662-1733 Bishop of Evreux from 1711 to his death whose bookplate appears in 7 of the 9 volumes: the handwriting is old-fashioned for 1711 so the book could have come to Le Normand from an earlier Bishop of Evreux but perhaps he simply wrote in an old-fashioned style. The pagination of volume ii accidentally omits numbers 577-578 but no leaf is missing there. Very slightly browned with an occasional minor spot and with the library stamps on the letterpress title-pages abraded but still generally in very good condition. With small cracks in the hinges of 4 volumes minor wear on the board edges and corners and volume III as bound vol. ii as printed darkened but the binding is also otherwise in very good condition with the tooling clear and sharp.

147725127Nuremberg: Anton Koberger 30 July 1477. Very Early Printing of the Bible and only the second Latin Bible printed by Koberger 51 lines and headline double column canon marginalia in the Gospels. With manuscript headlines in red a beautiful opening initial of 10 lines with elaborate flourishes that flow from the very top to very bottom of the page in red blue and green numerous 6 line initials in red and blue some with much longer extensions or flourishes a profusion of 3 line initials in red or blue red paragraph marks and additional rubricating throughout primarily in red. Royal folio 375 x 265mm approx in contemporary German blind-stamped pigskin over thick wood boards probably a Nuremberg binding the boards center-paneled and decorated in blind with a central tool within multiple borders remnants of brass catches on the fore-edge. Manuscript lettering to the spine with wide tall bands. 468 leaves complete. An unusually fine copy especially well preserved and very handsome indeed. An important copy with full contemporary binding intact and in great likelihood coming directly from Koberger’s workshop. A RARE AND EXTREMELY HANDSOME COPY ESPECIALLY WELL PRESERVED. THIS BOOK REPRESENTS ONLY THE SECOND TIME THAT KOBERGER PRINTED THE LATIN BIBLE. This printing was issued in the second year after the first printing of 1475. Anton Koberger was for a number of years the leading publisher/printer of his time. The total list of his printings for the forty years from 1473 to 1513 when he died comprises no less than two-hundred and thirty-six separate works including fifteen impressions of the Biblia Latina eight of which presented material differences of notes and commentaries which entitled them to be considered as distinct editions. "In the actual number of separate works issued Koberger was possibly equaled by one or more of his contemporaries but in respect to literary importance and costliness and in the beauty and excellence of the typography the Koberger publications were not equaled by any books of the time excepting the issues of Aldus in Venice" Putnam II p. 150.<br> This printing of Koberger’s Latin Bible was printed again in 1478 and is largely based on the Fust and Schoeffer edition of 1462. The tractate of Menardus is included which is a summary of the books of the Bible with a guide on how to best study them. It was first printed not after 1474. A beautiful example of the magnificent productions during the first generation of printed Bibles the state of preservation and the impressive German binding making it all the more so.

Armorial bookplate "In Memori: Weiler Bibliotheca Trautner Falkiana" on verso of front free endpaper.<br /> <br /> First De Tournes Latin Bible based on Robert Estienne's text and beautifully illustrated with 198 woodcuts by Bernard Salomon. "Considerable work could be done on Salomon's sources for these cuts. The Expulsion from Paradise suggests Holbein's version; the New Testament shows some dependence on the set owned by Sébastien Gryphius. the Apocalypse blocks are enlarged copies of the fine Janot Apocalypse. But the cumulative effect of Salomon's carefully detailed scenes is that of an individual contribution to Bible illustration. Particularly interesting from the point of view of technique are the night scenes in Exodus and the storm over Noah's ark. In this 1554 Bible the New Testament blocks are printed with arabesque strip borders at the sides. Arabesque and type ornament headpieces." Mortimer Contents include: Old Testament; Psalms; New Testament Epistles Acts; Index Testimoniorum & Index Epistolarum.<br /> <br /> Robert I Estienne 1503-1559 was a French protestant printer and scholar born into a printmaking family. He would take over his family's Paris firm in 1526 where he printed significant works in Latin Greek Hebrew and other languages. His 1531 Thesaurus linguae latinae is considered a major milestone in lexicography. Despite his many commissions for the King religious tensions forced Estienne to flee to Geneva. <br /> <br /> This bible was illustrated by Bernard Salomon c.1508-1561 a French artist who is known for engravings and illustrations. Although little is known about his life his art reveals stylistic influences from Mannerism and the School of Fontainebleau executed in a detailed and small scale. Salomon is known to have collaborated with the printer Jean de Tournes and produced decoration for emblem books bibles and classic texts. Many of his engravings also appear as source material for art objects such as a Faience plate at the MET featuring the Sacrifice of Noah.<br /> <br /> Brunet I 876 & Supplement I 125; Darlow & Moule 6134 note; Mortimer French no. 81.

Mareschal's Bible was the first to include the Third Book of Maccabees an addition which resulted in his later condemnation by the Council of Trent which declared the book to be apocryphal forcing him to flee to Switzerland and subsequently to take up permanent residence in Heidelberg. The woodcut of the Nativity scene is a close copy of Hans Springinklee's woodcut which first appeared in a 1517 prayer book before being used for the 1520 Lyon edition of the Bible Mortimer Harvard French 63 as well as Luther's 1524 German Translation of the Old Testament with a different artist's monogram. The smaller woodcuts are more simplistic copies of those found in other Lyon bibles from this time produced by Mareschal Crespin and Sacon such as Mortimer Harvard French 66 Crespin's 1529 Bible.

Two volumes folio including a complete facsimile of the Lorsch Gospels from the Biblioteca Documentara Batthyaneum in Alba Julia Rumania and the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana in Rome. Both in fine condition in publisher's cloth slipcase. One of 1000 copies. Includes six color engravings from photographs by Robert Braunmüller and many color-printed plates though most of the production consists of high-quality monochrome plates. After centuries of separation the four parts which comprise the Lorsch Gospels were united in the Coronation Hall of the Holy Roman Empire in Aachen Germany on the occasion of the 1965 exhibition of the Council of Europe "Charlemagne: His Achievements and Influence." The respective owners cooperated to photograph the entire manuscript and the ivory covers during the exhibition. Thus a foundation was laid for the reconstruction of the manuscript in this fine facsimile edition which must serve in the place of a unified whole.</p> Braziller, hardcover

1890List1326Costa Rica 1890. Albumen photographs 9 x 7 ½ inches on larger mounts with credits to Rudd y Paynter and the Paynter Bros. Near Fine. H.N. Rudd and the Paynter Brothers Richard and John were photographers who were active in Costa Rica in the 1890s operating out of San Jose. Five of these views show the Rudd y Paynter mark on versos with their address at the Parque Central in San Jose. The Paynters were from the United States arriving in 1874 and first establishing Rudd y Paynter out of a shop in the Parque Central where they also sold marble and art objects. In 1895 the studio changed its name to Paynter Bros. <br /> <br /> Collected here are nine scarce albumen views of Costa Rica from the 1890s. Five of them document a trip up Mt. Turrialba these bear the Rudd y Paynter mark. Of the other other four one image shows a building likely in San Jose with a gathered crowd; one shows a very striking mural and is captured “Corpus Christi / Cartaga Costa Rica June 4 / 96 this shows no photographers mars though the size and format are identical to the others and we presume the photographers to be the Paynter brothers; One shows industrial coffee machinery on “El Canada†the last shows a group of people in front of the bridge over the Rio Grande with a platform showing the markings of the Hamlin Car and Wheel Company of Catwissa PA. The group with the exception of the Corpus Christi image are mounted on uniform heavy cardstock mounts with gilt edges and remain in particularly fine condition with excellent contrast and some light wear to mounts. Overall a scarce group documenting Costa Rica at a time when few photographers operated. unknown
