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.

Title page with elaborate wood-engraved frame text profusely illustrated WITH 600 WOOD ENGRAVINGS depicting scenes from scripture after Holbein Bernard Salomon le Petit Bernard and others a handful of these a bit indistinct. 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.

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.

Stamps of Cambridge Public Library in ink or in blind on four leaves. First Protestant Bible printed in Latin. Title-page with large woodcut vignette of arms of Cologne lion and gryphon rampant with and three crowns; numerous illustrations by Anton Woensam and ornamental initials throughout. Ff. 8 CCCXXV 1 LXXXVII i.e. 85 5. 1 vols. Folio. The first Protestant Bible in Latin edited by Johan Rüdel Rudelius printed in Cologne by Peter Quentel or Quentell and notable for the wood engraved illustrations by Anton Woensam Anton von Worms particularly those at the head of each of the four gospels. 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. Tyndale settled in Worms where Schöffer completed an octavo printing of the first complete English New Testament in 1526 a facsimile of the Grenville fragment and its illustration were published in 1871.<br /> <br /> The blocks for the illustrations evidently survived the raid on the Quentel's shop and are used here at the head of each of the four gospels.<br /> <br /> A notable edition in the history of the printing of the Bible.
