A characteristic gathering of the three texts the Bible being the Geneva-Tonson-Junius version in an edition that is a very close reprint of Barker's 1607 edition. The general engraved title is undated and the sectional full title-page for the NT is dated 1611 but the printer's colophon at the end is dated 1612. The text of the Apocrypha is included as a part of the contiguous whole. The edition of the Genealogies which is here bound prior to the Bible is one of the several folio printings attributed to Beale that are partially sorted as to minute variants in STC and ESTC; however this example does not conform to the variants in ESTC in regard to the line-breaks in the side note on A1V. The present edition of the Sternhold and Hopkins Psalms includes some music settings. This is among the last folio London printings of the Geneva text the standard text of 16th century Protestantism and the text referenced by Shakespeare Donne Bunyan et al. The first edition of the NT was printed in Geneva in 1557 and was first printed in England in 1575-6. ESTC S1189; S101955; and S122901. Herbert 312.

17229900002372London: James and John Knapton et al. 1722. Hardcover. Maps engravings. Folio. Two large volumes in original full leather bindings. Title pages are printed in red and black with an elegant full-page copper engraving of Camden as the frontispiece of the first volume. There are 50 double-page maps of the English counties Ireland Scotland and 'the Islands'; six of the maps are folding. There are also twelve large full-page engravings and numerous smaller engravings in the text. There is a comprehensive index and the errata page is present. A previous owner has reinforced the hinges with linen-like binding tape. The boards are quite worn and rubbed but a competent bookbinder could restore both bindings. The contents are remarkable clean with only occasional foxing and a few stained pages. The maps by the cartographer Robert Morden and which are usually removed and sold individually are all in excellent condition. Overall a good set. William Camden 1551-1623 was an English antiquary and historian who during the reign of Queen Elizabeth travelled throughout England collecting material for 'Britannia' which was first published in 1586. Initially written in Latin it is a survey of the British islands; its archaeology geography institutions monetary system and inhabitants 'chiefly intended for the instruction of foreigners' or so Gibson states in his Preface to this edition. It was first translated into English in 1610 probably under Camden's direction see Ency. Brit. 11th vol. V p. 101. Gibson's revision was first published in 1695. Our set is the undated 'Second Edition' but by comparing particulars with available bibliographical resources we believe it was published in 1722. Printing and the Mind of Man 101.

16084431London Robert Barker 1608 Très bel exemplaire d'une Bible en culotte de cheval publiée par Robert Barker en 1608. Contient : Un titre général ; l'Ancien Testament (mais pas de page de titre séparée pour l'Ancien Testament) ; le Nouveau Testament avec un titre ; l'Apocalypse ; 2 concordances (avec un titre séparé indiquant qu'elles ont été rassemblées par R.F.H.) ; le Livre des Psaumes (avec un titre séparé indiquant qu'elles ont été rassemblées par Thomas Sternehold & John Hopkins). Reliure en plein veau moucheté du 20e siècle. Les pages de garde sont neuves et unies. 4 bandes surélevées au dos, décorations aveugles sur les compartiments. Bords de la planche à motifs. Étiquette et titres noirs et dorés au dos. Toutes les pages de titre sont présentes. Les 3 dernières pages, Psaumes avec de très vieilles réparations et une page insérée dans le désordre. Les Psaumes sont complets mais le Credo est incomplet à la fin du livre (il se termine à la page 92). Toutes les sections sont datées de 1608. Robert Barker. Les problèmes notés dans cet exemplaire sont : f68 marqué comme f96 ; f173 avec une note de bordure collée ; f329 (dernière page d'Ezéchiel mal reliée à Daniel) ; f330 présent mais avec perte d'une grande partie du texte ; f434 mal paginé comme f435 ; f435 a une grande tache d'encre au verso ; f464 petite déchirure fermée ; f483 déchiré avec une certaine perte ; f490 mal paginé comme f499 ; f534 complet mais déchiré ; Livre des Psaumes : Les 10 premières pages ne sont pas paginées ; p28 mal paginée comme p27 ; p86 mal paginée comme p66 ; pps 87/88 échangées avec pps 89/90 ; Les deux derniers feuillets ont été réparés, et le dernier feuillet avec une perte modérée sur les bords. Comme c'est inévitable avec une Bible de cet âge, il y a aussi de petites déchirures, des entailles et un assombrissement général des pages, mais c'est un très bel exemplaire. Cette édition de la Bible de Genève a reçu le surnom de Bible à culotte, en raison de sa traduction erronée du chapitre 3, verset 7 de la Genèse. Le texte se lit comme suit : Les yeux de l'un et de l'autre s'ouvrirent, et ils connurent qu'ils étaient nus. Ils cousirent ensemble des feuilles de figuier et se firent une culotte. Chaque page n'étant numérotée qu'au recto (voire pas du tout), il s'agit en fait de numéros de feuilles (nous nous référons donc à fn). Pour compliquer encore les choses, le livre des psaumes numérote chaque page, et non chaque feuille. Collation complète : [ii], 1-554, [1-98], [1]-91.pp Collation : [manque le blanc q1], q2-Zzz10, A-L2, A-G3. Notre exemplaire est en grande partie conforme à Darlow & Moule 225a.

16084431London: Robert Barker 1608. A very nice copy of a Breeches Bible published by Robert Barker in 1608. Contains: A general title; The Old Testament but no separate Old Testament Title page; The New Testament With Title; Revelation ; 2 Concordances With separate title stating that these were collected by R.F.H. ; Book of Psalms Separate title state that they were collected by Thomas Sternehold & John Hopkins. Bound in full 20th century mottled calf. Plain new endpapers. 4 raised bands to spine blind decorations to compartments. Board edges patterned. Black and gilt label & titles to spine. All title pages present. Final 3 pages Psalms with very old repairs and one page inserted out of order. Psalms complete but Creed incomplete at end of book So ends at page 92. All sections dated 1608. Robert Barker. The noted issues with this copy are: f68 marked as f96; f173 with pasted down border note; f329 last of Ezekiel misbound in Daniel; f330 present but with loss of a large are of text; f434 mispaginated as f435; f435 has large ink stain to verso; f464 small closed tear; f483 torn with some loss; f490 mispaginated as f499; f534 complete but torn; Book of Psalms: 1st 10 pages unpaginated; p28 mispaginated as p27; p86 mispaginated as p66; pps 87/88 exchanged with pps 89/90; The final two leaves have been repaired and the final leaf with moderate loss to the edges. As is inevitable with a Bible of this age there are also tiny tears nicks and edgewear and a general darkening of the pages nevertheless s a very nice example. This edition of the Geneva Bible received the nickname Breeches Bible because on its erroneous translation of Genesis Chapter 3 Verse 7. The text reads: 'Then the eyes of them both were opened and they knew that they were naked and they sewed figge tree leaves together and made themselves breeches.' Each page is numbered to the recto only if at all so these are actually leaf numbers so we refer to fn. To confuse matters further the book of psalms numbers each page not leaf. Full collation: ii 1-554 1-98 1-91.pp Collation: lacks blank q1 q2-Zzz10 A-L2 A-G3. Our copy substantially conforms to Darlow & Moule 225a.

STC 19736; ESTC 19736. ◆Spine just faintly sunned leaves lightly browned due to paper quality and trimmed a bit close at head grazing headline on a couple of leaves isolated marginal stains or tiny rust spots but an excellent copy fresh and clean in a sympathetic binding with few signs of wear.<br/> <br/> This was an important work in establishing distinctions in liturgy and doctrine between the Catholic Church and the Church of England written by a moderate puritan whom DNB considers "perhaps the most significant English theologian of his age." Perkins 1558-1602 was one of the most popular voices of his time speaking from a Calvinist puritan point of view; while he could be virulently anti-Catholic he did not believe in repudiating the English church only in reforming it. According to DNB "The genius of Perkins's work did not lie in its originality—his theology represents a conventional recital of Calvinist scholasticism in virtually every respect. His gift lay rather in bringing to a broad audience a variety of theological and moral issues popularizing essentially technical discussions and therefore as Fuller observed humbling 'the towering speculations of philosophers into practice and morality.'" The present work spread his polemical influence beyond England to the Continent; even the Catholic bishop William Bishop admitted he had "not seene any book of like quality published by a Protestant to contain either more matter or delivered in better method." Both the 1597 first edition and our 1598 second printing are rare: no other copies of either edition are recorded at auction by RBH or ABPC in the past 50 years. John Legat unknown

Veduta della festa di Sant’Andrea ad Amalfi, tratta da un disegno di Luois Jean Desprez. Amalfi festeggia Sant’Andrea, patrono della città, ben due volte all'anno, una il 30 novembre, l'altra il 27 giugno nell'anniversario del miracolo che salvò la città di Amalfi dall'invasione del pirata Kair-Ad-Din detto Barbarossa nel 1544. Sant'Andrea è protettore dei pescatori di tutto il mondo, di pescivendoli e di tutti coloro che hanno a che fare con la pesca. Ai festeggiamenti del 30 novembre, partecipa tutta la popolazione, ed è in questa occasione che avviene il “miracolo di Sant’Andrea”, per tanti versi molto simile al miracolo della liquefazione del sangue di San Gennaro. Probabile che il Desprez realizzi il disegno durante il suo viaggio in Italia, durante il quale descrive molto luoghi dell'Italia meridionale, poi base iconografica per il "Voyage Pittoresque" dell'abate Richard de Saint-Non.Incisione all'acquatinta ad inchiostro bistro, lievemente rifilata all'interno della linea marginale, piccole crepe di carta, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione. Rarissima. View of the feast of St. Andrew in Amalfi , taken from a drawing by Louis Jean Desprez. Amalfi celebrates St. Andrew, patron saint of the city, twice a year, on Nov. 30, the other June 27 anniversary of the miracle that saved the city from the invasion of Amalfi pirate Kair -Ad- Din said Barbarossa in 1544. St. Andrew is the patron of fishermen from all over the world, fishmongers and all those that have to do with fishing . The celebrations of November 30 , participates in the entire population, and it is on this occasion that happens the "miracle of St. Andrew " , in many ways very similar to the miracle of the liquefaction of the blood of San Gennaro.Likely that the realized design Desprez during his trip to Italy, during which describes a lot of places in southern Italy , then iconographic basis for the " Voyage Pittoresque " by the Richard de Saint-Non.Aquatint printed with bistro ink, slightly trimmed within the marginal line, small cracks of paper, otherwise in excellent condition. An extremely rare work. Frölich, Johan Fredrik Martins gravyrer, Stockholm, 1939, 291 II.

1790260927Boston: Printed by Joseph Bumstead for David West 1790. pp. 358 2 ads. 1 vols. 12mo. Contemporary calf. Joints a bit tender; tiny chip at tail of spine. A beautiful unrestored copy and with Pierce family inscriptions on the endpapers. pp. 358 2 ads. 1 vols. 12mo. With unusual ownership painting on the endpaper identifying the Psalms as belonging to Benjamin Pierce's Book 1791 and depicting a man up a tree by way of ladder either to send apples to another man seated below or to read his psalms aloft in peace-- let the viewer be the judge! <br/><br/>The following leaf includes a calligraphic presentation in 1799 to James Pierce who notes its use by "the society in Brattle Square" which we take to mean the then Congregational and later c. 1805-1876 Unitarian Church on Brattle Street in Boston Massachusetts. <br/><br/>The church distinguished itself by its somewhat relaxed attitude toward rigid Calvinist practices and by iits array of important ministers: Benjamin Colman 1699-1747; William Cooper 1716-1743; Samuel Cooper 1747-1783; Peter Thacher 1785-1802; Joseph Stevens Buckminster 1805-1812; Edward Everett 1814-1815; John Gorham Palfrey 1813-1831; and Samuel Kirkland Lothrop 1834-1876. The parishioners were no less esteemed: John Hancock Samuel Adams Joseph Warren John Adams Abigail Adams Richard Clarke Elizabeth Greenleaf Jane Mecom John Lowell Lydia Hancock Henry Cabot Lodge James Bowdoin 1676-1747 and many others. Hans Gram played organ in the late 18th century. The Pierce family's early days in America perhaps coming as early as about 1620 were spent largely in New Hampshire and Massachusetts and their legacy includes Benjamin Pierce governor of New Hampshire 1827-1830 as well as ten generations spent in what is now an historic landmark of seventeenth-century architecture currently serving as a museum in Dorchester Massachusetts. It is difficult to place exactly which Benjamin Pierce and James Pierce this copy belonged to in the large and lively family. Evans 22351 Printed by Joseph Bumstead for David West unknown books

Adapted for use in the United States Central and South America. Author 1899-1968 "was a Mexican cook researcher writer and teacher. She was a pioneer of Mexican gastronomy and an entrepreneur of Mexican cuisine." - Wikipedia. "Before Rick Bayless before Diana Kennedy Josefina Velázquez de León was the sage of the Mexican kitchen Mexico's original celebrity chef." - Lesley Tellez. "Between the 1930s and 1960s she published over 140 cookbooks ran a cooking academy and hosted TV and radio shows. She is the woman responsible for giving a national face to regional Mexican cuisine." - laplazala on Instagram. "Her most important book is her only bilingual work the 'Mexican Cook Book Devoted to American Homes' published in 1947. Decades later it remains a classic. In a clear approachable tone Josefina breaks down iconic recipes such as tomato-infused Mexican rice refried beans chilaquiles and mole poblano. She traveled throughout Mexico and collected home cooks' recipes into books unifying what was then a disparate collection of locally known dishes. No one has matched her output and zeal or done more to shape Mexican food's culinary identity." - Lesley Tellez.
