4496Each of the five mounted photographs is preceded by a protective sheet of tissue paper in tact though wrinkled. The five photographs show a group of luminaries in the following fields: "Politicians Conservative" "Politicians Liberal" "Authors and Novelists" including Charles Dickens Wilkie Collins Thomas Carlyle "Science" including Charles Wheatstone Michael Faraday "Artists" including J. M. W. Turner John Everett Millais and Edwin Landseer. The page preceding the last group photograph of English Artists indicated that a second volume was anticipated "early in 1877." The artists' page has separated from the spine as has the first copyright page which is chipped along margins creased and missing upper left corner. The pages are securely held together at the spine even though they have lost their cover. The albumen plates are somewhat light as might be expected. Various degrees of foxing throughout chipped corners of the photographic boards. Overall condition is fair to good. A fascinating assemblage of 19th century English culture. unknown books

158268152First Edition of the Roman Catholic Version of the Bible in English New Testament. BIBLE IN ENGLISH. New Testament. The New Testament of Jesus Christ Translated Faithfully into English out of the authentical Latin according to the best corrected copies of the same diligently conferred with the Greeke and other editions in divers languages: With Arguments of bookes and chapters Annotations. and other necessarie helpes for the better understanding of the text and specially for the discoverie of the Corruptions of divers late translations and for cleering the Controversies in religion of these daies: In the English College of Rhemes. Rheims: Printed.by John Fogny 1582. First edition of the Roman Catholic version of the New Testament in English. Small quarto 8 5/16 x 6 inches; 210 x 154 mm. 28 745 27 pp. Title within border of type ornaments decorative and historiated woodcut initials. Bound in 19th-century brown calf. Boards and spine ruled and stamped in blind. Spine with red morocco spine label lettered in gilt. Board edges and dentelles stamped in blind. All edges red. Marbled endpapers. Boards slightly rubbed. Four previous owner's bookplates on front pastedown. Front free endpaper with old ink notations quotation from Saint Augustine and small purple library stamp from the "Society of Jesus" in Milltown Park Ireland. The "Society of Jesus" is the Catholic group of which its members are the Jesuits. Title-page with cropped early annotation at top margin and same small "Society of Jesus" library stamp to lower corner. Some dampstaining and toning particularly to beginning. Some slight worming to fore-edge margin occasionally barely affecting text. Overall an excellent copy of the Rheims Bible. ìThe long title of The New Testament indicates at least in part the purpose which motivated William Allen and his small band of associates in the seminary of English Catholic refugees at Rheims. It was a losing battle for English Catholics merely to condemn the errors they claimed existed in other translations while declining to exhibit a translation which reflected their own critical principles.If the slow erosion of the Catholic faith in England was to be checked loyal Catholics would better withstand the taunts of Protestant Bible readers with the comfort and consolation drawn from a version of their own. As the title announces the translation was faithful to the Latin Vulgate but it also acknowledges careful comparison with the Greek. What the title does not specifically advertise is that Gregory Martin the chief translator borrowed freely from existing English versions. Close textual analysis has revealed many striking resemblances between the Rheims New Testament and CoverdaleÃs diglot of 1538. One new principle.was followed consistentlyótechnical words were transliterated in the text rather than translated the notes providing a clarification. Many of these words subsequently passed into the English language largely through the continuation of this practice by the revisers of the Authorized Version of 1611 who not only used these technical terms but also borrowed from Rheims many of its most felicitous and distinctive phrasesî In Remembrance of Creation 206. ìGregory Martin had originally translated the whole Bible into English but lack of funds permitted publication only of the New Testament in 1582. The long delay of twenty-seven years in completing the publication is underscored in the Preface of the Old Testament by reference to ëour poor estate in banishmentà In Remembrance of Creation 208. The annotations in the Old Testament are ascribed to Thomas Worthington who became President of the College at Douay in 1599. The ìApprobatioî is signed by three Professors at Douai.
