154049324Paris: F. Gryphius 1540. Two parts in one volume 16mo in 8s. 199 1 blank; 136 16 indexff. "Novvm testamentum" in cartouche vignette at title-page along with Gryphius' griffin device Renouard 413; 90 three-quarter page including repeats and 15 smaller woodcut illustrations including repeats; 21 historiated initials and woodcut lettrines; cartouche vignettes with book titles; printed marginalia; half-title for the second part Epistles and the Book of Revelation. Text not divided into verses; occasional quotations in Greek. Later vellum over boards; manuscript title at the spine faded; speckled paper endleaves; edges stained red. Light dampstain at bottom margins extending up into text and gutter at the later leaves; small puncture at leaf 140 resulting in slight loss of text. A good complete copy of a very scarce illustrated New Testament with clean woodcut illustrations throughout.<br /> <br /> Collation: a-z8 &8 Aa8 A-T7 blank leaf 200; lacks final blank T8.<br /> <br /> Third Gryphius New Testament in 16mo format. Arranged in two parts with the Epistles and the Book of Revelation presented separately it reproduces the Vulgate text edited by Robert I Estienne for his Latin Bible edition of 1532. While some of the woodcuts appear in Gryphius' complete octavo Bible of 1541 this separate Testament is even more lavishly illustrated. Based upon Mortimer's description of the 1541 Bible we can ascertain that at least some of the Apocalypse woodcuts in the present volume are based on Holbein while most of the other illustrations whose blocks had been completed by 1539 "are relatively independent of earlier sets" Mortimer.<br /> <br /> An important shift in Bible illustration occured in the Netherlands in the late 1520s as printers began to focus on copiously illustrated small format editions of the New Testament to better explain the text and assist private devotion. The subtitle in our volume "cum ad ueritatem historiae tum ad uenustatem singulari artificio expressis" with the truth of history as well as beauty expressed by a singular artifice is clearly suggestive of this shift. Adopting this new format François Gryphius became the "first Paris printer to illustrate a Bible in the Renaissance style" Johnson quoted in Mortimer. These illustrations first appeared in the Acts of the Apostles and the Book of Revelation in Gryphius' pocket New Testament edition of 1537 Novum Testamentum additis picturis in Acta Apost. et Apocalipsin quibus miracula et visiones exprimuntur The New Testament with added illustrations in the Acts of the Apostles and the Book of Revelation depicting miracles and visions. Subsequent editions would include an expanding suite of woodcuts and were published at Paris by Gryphius under the present title in 1539 1540 1541 and 1542; Antwerp editions appeared in 1542 and 1545. The suite of illustrations in the present work is identical in placement and inventory with the data cited by Mortimer for the 1541 edition 90 cuts by repetition of 58 blocks from the larger set and 15 cuts by repetition of 6 small blocks and confirmed by inspection of the digitized version of the 1541 edition at the Bibliothèque de la Ville de Lyon. The only notable differences in graphic materials between the two editions appears occasionally in the selection of woodcut initials; the later edition also has several more unset initials indicated by guide letters than appear in our 1540 edition. <br /> <br /> All editions are quite scarce with only a handful of copies of each surviving.<br /> <br /> Provenance and annotations: Old entries at paste-down and front endleaf of George Woodhouse with his note about prior provenance dated May 1875; E. Holwell noting "This curious edition published in A.D. 1540" References: Cf. Deleveau & Hillard Bibles imprimées Paris 1539 and 1542; Antwerp 1542; Le Long/Masch 2.3 1783 p.279 Paris ed. 1542; R.

1544321627Wittenberg Germany: Veit Kreutzer 1544. Hardcover. Very Good. Wittenberg: Veit Kreutzer 1544 German edition of Melanchthon's Loci Communes first published in Latin in 1521 as "Loci communes or Loci communes rerum theologicarum seu hypotyposes theologicae" Latin for Common Places in Theology or Fundamental Doctrinal Themes. Very good. Pages of the text are numbered entirely in roman numerals to page CCCLIII. With an unnumbered register index of 23 pages. Beautiful contemporary stamped ivory vellum veneer boards with a set of elegant silver clips. No front endpaper. The copy bears an early bookplate "Ex bibliotheca Gust. Ad. Hauseri theol et philos. stud. Cl nr" inside the front board. Light pencil signatures from the 19th century trace the stewardship of Ole Lokensgaard 1854-1931 Granite Falls Minnesota who came to the US in 1857. The family was associated through his son Gerhard W. Lokensgard with St. Olaf College in Northfield. It has been held by the family through 3 generations. The Loci Communes evolved with the reform movement. This 1544 edition is translated by Justus Jonas into German based on Melanchthon's 1542 revision. Title in English: "The Heubtartike Christian Literature/ drawn together/ By Philippum Melanthon/ called in Latin/ Loci Communes Theologici. Germanized by Justum Jonam/Doctor/ and in the 1542nd year/ By Philip. Melanth. checked again and improved." The Loci Communes evolved with the movement. Philipp Melanchthon 1497 – 1560 was a German reformer a collaborator with Martin Luther and part of the Wittenberg team that established the foundation of the Protestant Reformation. Melanchthon was its first systematic theologian and an intellectual leader of the Lutheran Reformation who with Luther was a primary founder of Lutheranism. Loci Communes was Melanchthon's Magnum Opus. "Melanchthon points out that he wrote the Loci Communes to encourage people to bypass extra-biblical sources and go straight to scripture. He does not believe it makes sense to try to integrate philosophy with the interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. Melanchthon berates the scholastic methodology of dialectic. He discusses the skewing of scripture that those who employ such methodology foisted upon the interpretation of scripture". The colleagues that Luther assembled in Wittenberg’s theological faculty formed the nucleus of his team. This included Justus Jonas 1493 –1555 who served in addition to roles as advisor and legal expert as translator of the works of Luther and Melanchthon from Latin into German or German into Latin. In the 16th century intellectuals across Europe spoke Latin. To spread the Wittenberg message this process of translation and revision was essential to the maturing of the movement. The later editions were published from 1543-1559 with the final edition being published just one year before Melanchthon’s death in 1560. The 1560 edition is four times the size of the original 1521 edition. "The German text of the third generation remains close to the second generation of the Latin Loci; the text is a revision by Melanchthon of the translation of Jonas.He once confessed that he found the final revision of this German translation better than the Latin Loci CR 22 31/32." We believe that this 1544 Jonas translation may be the one to which Melanchthon refers. But that is a matter for further scholarly investigation. The simple beauty of the copy with its silver clasps is exceptional. Veit Kreutzer hardcover

The work is printed in red and black. Plantin edition of the revised Roman Missal following the directives of the Council of Trent first published in Rome in 1570 by order of pope Pius V 1504-1572 and later approved by Clemens VIII 1536-1605 and Urbanus VIII 1568-1644. The work was quite popular as Plantin published a new missal nearly every year from 1571 onwards. All editions were printed in different sizes and in two issues one with woodcut illustrations and one with engravings. The present copy is the octavo edition with woodcut illustrations and comes from the library of the famous Carthusian monastery of Buxheim Maria Saal near Memmingen Bavaria.The monstery of Buxheim was founded in 1402 and dissolved after the secularisation in 1803. The rich library was auctioned in 1883 by Förster and in 1884 by Ludwig Rosenthal in Munich. The Museum of the Charterhouse Buxheim today is actively studying the history of the library and the present location of its books and manuscripts. The present copy is bound in contemporary pigskin which was likely bound for the monastery itself as the rolls depict Saint Bruno who was the founder of the Carthusian order. The Missal is therefore probably bound in a South-German bindery in the surroundings of the monastery.With an ownership annotation on the title page "Cartusiae Buxheim". The binding is somewhat rubbed and soiled. The leaves are lightly browned some of the leaves are slightly stained especially around the leather tabs. Otherwise in good condition.l Belg.

Front pastedown with ex-libris of Leonis S. Olschki. Adams B-1093; STC Italian 93. Not in Darlow & Moule. ◆A little wear to joints and extremities spine a bit crackled separation at hinges but no looseness occasional minor browning or foxing otherwise in remarkably fine condition the text clean and crisp and in a still-lustrous entirely solid unsophisticated original binding.<br/> <br/> This is a very well-preserved handsomely bound and lavishly illustrated edition with distinguished provenance of the Louvain Bible first printed in Venice in 1578. Our edition contains 600 wood engravings illustrating the text ranging from portraits of prophets saints and evangelists to dramatic scenes from the histories of the Old Testament and the life of Christ and ending with an imaginative Apocalypse cycle. Many of these are the work of Lyonnaise artist Bernard Salomon 1506-61 known by the sobriquet "Le Petit Bernard" for his small engravings rich with detail. Others are based on the biblical woodcuts of Hans Holbein. The binding here is likely French; the flat spine with just one large gilt-framed panel and the olive branch decoration on the covers is characteristic of late 16th century and early 17th century French work. The exceptional condition here is typical of books from the collection of Leo Samuel Olschki 1861-1940 scion of a family of Prussian Jewish printers whose interest in printing history led to his becoming a celebrated antiquarian bookseller author founder of the journal "The Bibliophile" and publisher of works in the humanities.

15546212Lyon: Jean de Tournes 1554. First edition. Octavo 6 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches; 171 x 121 mm. . 16 1152 76 pp bound without the last two blank leaves as in most copiese.g. Mortimer OCLC. The penultimate leaf had only a fleuron at the foot of the page and the final leaf was blank. Arabesque title border and 198 with 1 repeat woodcuts in the text by Bernard Salomon. Title-page with faint early ink "ex-Libris petri ------ at top blank margin. Title-page expertly cleaned some occasional mainly marginal faint foxing otherwise a superb example of this wonderfully illustrated mid sixteenth-century Latin Bible. Bound ca. 1880 by Chambolle-Duru in full brown crushed levant morocco spine with five raised bands lettered in gilt gilt ruled board edges decorative gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers all edge gilt. 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.

Matthew faces an angle who is touching his stylus; a lion is seated beside Mark; a bull with Luke; and an eagle stands beside John.<br /> <br /> Quentel was the printer of Tyndale's quarto Cologne English New Testament known from a single surviving fragment in the Grenville Collection where this same illustration to Matthew appears. It is a reasonable inference that each of the four gospels would have carried an illustration. The project which had "'got as far as the letter K' the signature that would have taken the work well into Mark" ODNB was unfinished at the time of Tyndale's flight from Cologne in 1525. Quentel's print shop was raided but sheets of the first gospel translated from the original Greek and printed in English soon began to circulate in England.

Folio 13-1/2 x 9-1/2 inches. The Sixtine Bible containing the Vulgate text as edited by Pope Sixtus V intended as the first ecclesiastically authorized text to be used throughout Christendom. "In its text it comes closer to R. Stephanus' Bible of 1538-40 than to the Louvain editions" Darlow & Moule who discuss the textual variations. <br /> <br /> The association with Aldus II suggested by Renouard and lasting long thereafter is spurious.<br /> Pope Sixtus V died soon after the book was printed and was followed by three short-lived popes. The Sixtine Bible had "aroused antagonism among both clergy and laity" and was swiftly condemned; the edition was withdrawn by Pope Clement VIII soon after his elevation to the papal throne in 1592 and many copies were destroyed. Preparations began in 1591 for a new edition of the Vulgate printed in 1592 and known as the Clementine Bible which long remained the standard Vulgate text.<br /> <br /> As often e.g. the Brooker copy this copy without the preface the Bull of Sixtus declaring the text to be immutable and forbidding any reprint without papal permission.
