The palm-sized "poetical books" or "wisdom literature" do not survive in the appreciable numbers that the octavo and larger format whole Bibles or Testaments do. => In fact of this edition in North American libraries we trace only this now deaccessioned copy and one other in a Canadian institution. Â Â Â Â Pagan's variant of the famous Estienne printer's device appears on the title-page. Text is printed in roman type with occasional use of italic and Hebrew and a few nice historiated initials here and there. Early limp vellum dust-soiled and gently cocked.

Novvm Testamentvm Graece cum vulgata interpretatione Latina Graeci contextus lineis inserta .

159939429Heidelberg: Ex officina Commeliniana 1599. 8vo 19.9 cm 7.75". 14 827 1 pp. Lacks interior blank only. One of the last 16th-century interlinear editions of the Greek New Testament and Vulgate Latin as first presented in Plantin's monumental Royal Antwerp Polyglot Bible of 156972. The text is printed in Greek with the Vulgate in roman type inter-linearly; additionally there are decorative letters and head and tailpieces. When the Vulgate differs from the Greek its text is printed in the margin as a shouldernote and a literal Latin rendering by the great Spanish theologian Benedictus Arias Montanus a.k.a. Benito Arias Montano is printed in italics in the text. The Commelin device appears on the title-page which describes this printing as "Editio postrema multò quàm antehac emendatior." Â Â Â Â Evidence of Readership: Marginal notes or accents in at least two early hands have been added in ink in two dozenplus places with one page used for scribbling and content ranging from a squiggle to a word to real notes; two Latin words and the publication date in Arabic numerals under the publisher's roman have been inked to the title-page. Â Â Â Â Provenance: Early calligraphic ownership note of "Dudley" dated 1843 on binder's blank; later ownership signature of E.F. Whitehouse with the shelfmark 354 and an acquisition note including the collectorly report "It was all to bits I had it bound and consider it a great curiosity.

Light age-toning and waterstaining of various darknesses throughout most of the text with the occasional spot. The title leaf has been backed with a later paper with no loss of content; interior blank only lacking as above three leaves with small interior holes affecting letters two leaves with marginal sections torn away. Readership and provenance evidence as above with some inked notes trimmed or bled onto surrounding leaves. => Read and engaged with by multiple people and all the more intriguing because of it.

Novum Testamentum illustratum insignium rerum simulacris The New Testament Illustrated with Remarkable Figures THE FIRST BIBLE ILLUSTRATED in the RENAISSANCE STYLE in FRANCE

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. Collation: a-z8 &8 Aa8 A-T7 blank leaf 200; lacks final blank T8. 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. 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. All editions are quite scarce with only a handful of copies of each surviving. 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.

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.
