First printed in 1619 the "Manuale" is the work of German philologist Georg Pasor 1570-1637 and was the authority on New Testament Greek throughout the 17th century. Printed by Bonaventure and Abraham Elzevier our volume is bound in the style of the venerable English artisan Roger Payne using the straight-grain morocco process developed by Payne with delicately tooled gilt panels framing the cover. The supralibros of a man whose love of books brought him to ruin was added at the center both boards sometime before 1817. The coronet above the griffin indicates that George Spencer-Churchill 1766-1840 was at that time the Marquess of Blandford before his father's death in 1817 made him the 5th Duke of Marlborough. According to DNB "He spent great sums on his gardens and his library at White Knights near Reading." His extravagance eventually ruined him financially and most of his collection had to be auctioned during his lifetime. According to the University of Toronto's "British Armorial Bindings" this volume was Lot 3017 in the sale of the "Distinguished and Celebrated" White Knights Library conducted by R. H. Evans of London in June of 1819; it sold for eight shillings. Our book was later sold at Sotheby's on 13 June 1934 lot 725; the catalogue for that sale described the binding as "in the style of Roger Payne." We find ourselves inclined to believe even more heartily in this association. Ex officina Elzeviriana unknown

1755178721Paris: d'Houry seul imprimeur-libraire de monseigneur le Duc d'Orleans 1755. Royal Easter in Paris A beautiful copy of the Easter liturgy for the year 1755 printed and finely bound in Paris for the House of Orléans. The covers bear the arms of Louis-Philippe I 1725-1785 Duke of Orléans Valois and Montpensie premier prince du sang and grandfather of Louis-Philippe I the last king of France. Editions of the Easter liturgy were produced every year and printed by d'Houry the official printer to the duke of Orléans. Copies in fine bindings such as this bearing the arms of the current duke were destined for members of the family and court and to faithful subjects. The binding was very likely made by Jean-Charles-Henri LeMonnier le jeune who is documented as bookbinder to the duke of Orléans from 1759. The LeMonniers were one of the most famous families of bookbinders of the period. Henry le jeune son of Jean-Charles senior "lived with his father in the Rue Saint-Jean-de-Beauvais probably sharing his atelier and his tools and it is difficult to distinguish their work. The bindings for the duke of Orléans and his family are most probably the work of le jeune" Foot p. 199. Octavo 193 x 122 mm. Copper-engraved frontispiece.

Front pastedowns with bookplate of Wilhelm Herzog zu Braunschweig printed in colors and embossed with gilt; title pages with ink stamp "Prinz von Braunschweig." ◆Spines darkened to tan head panels with traces of brown residue possibly from library labels boards faintly soiled at edges but A FINE SET with no signs of use inside or out.<br/> <br/> This is an exceptionally fine copy with distinguished provenance of the first Paris printing of a nautical adventure by a great American writer who enjoyed unusual popularity in France. Set during the American Revolution and first printed in 1823 "The Pilot" has for its protagonist a real-life American naval hero John Paul Jones. Cooper 1789-1851 had himself worked as a commercial seaman and served in the U.S. Navy and his firsthand knowledge of both the technical aspects of seamanship and the day-to-day realities of life at sea lend a ring of authenticity to his sea novels of which this was the first. According to Encyclopedia Americana "Cooper may be said in 'The Pilot' to have created a new literary type the tale of adventure on the sea . . . . Smollett had already discovered the racy humors of seamen but he had seen little else in their calling; it remained for Cooper to capture for fiction the mystery and beauty the shock and thrill of the sea which in his pages has much of the proud pomp of Byron's ocean." Cooper spent the years 1826-28 in Paris where his literary reputation gained him access to the best salons and where he became a close friend of the marquis de Lafayette. Given the ornate decoration and the quality of materials and execution this binding was very likely done by a Parisian workshop as a commission for Duke William of Brunswick-Lüneburg 1806-84 the last member of his family to rule the duchy of Brunswick. Although he was the ruler of the Duchy of Brunswick for more than 50 years he preferred to spend his time enjoying the life of an aristocrat and left most of the official business to his ministers. He also failed to produce a legitimate heir though he had a number of illegitimate children and ended the House of Brunswick's rule over the duchy. L. Daubry unknown

The most important Reformation figure after Martin Luther and Philip Melanchthon Johan also Johann Hess 1490-1547 was educated in Leipzig and Wittenberg where he was initially exposed to Luther's preaching. After several years serving as secretary to the bishop of Breslau now Wroc aw he traveled to Italy to complete his studies in theology and was ordained a priest upon his return to Breslau in 1520. His misgivings about the Church had increased in the years leading up to his ordination and he publicly voiced his support for the Reformation in a 1523 sermon in Nuremburg. He became the first Protestant pastor elected in Breslau and played a major role in the spread of the Reformation within the region. He participated in the major theological debates of the day taking part in the Diet of Regensburg the final attempt at reconciliation between the Reformers and the Catholic Church within the Holy Roman Empire. The present volume's selection demonstrates the range of his theological interests: its five works while all published in a one-year period span 1000 years of biblical scholarship and a variety of topics. The first is the original printing of the 5th century theologian Vigilius of Thapsus' condemnation of Eutyches whose beliefs about Christ's blended divine and human nature had been deemed heretical. This is followed by the 12th century Benedictine abbot Rupert of Deutz's discussion of the minor prophets a rare imprint USTC finds only one copy in a U. S. institution. The third work is a commentary on the Book of Job by Phillipus Presbyter an otherwise little-known disciple of St. Jerome. This was the only printing of this work under the author's own name the only other 16th century edition being credited to the Venerable Bede. This edition provides the text as taken from a now-lost manuscript at Fulda Abbey. The fourth included work is 9th century Irish monk Sedulius Scotus' scriptural commentary on Paul's letters. This and the previous work were printed by the Officina Petri the oldest extant Basel publishing house. The fifth and final text is by a contemporary of Hess the French humanist Jacques Lefèvre d’Étaples ca.1455 - ca. 1536. While Lefèvre remained committed to reform within rather than separation from the Roman Church his ideas and writings greatly influenced the Reformers. The present work is the first edition of his commentaries on the New Testament epistles published by major Basel printer Andreas Cratander. Ironically nearly two centuries after Hess' death this volume was owned by a group working precisely counter to his own goals and ideals. The 1739 inscription indicates that the copy was the property of the Franciscan mission in Dessau which was founded in 1719 to convert the now largely Protestant population back to Catholicism. Since Hess was the leading Protestant pastor in Breslau in Silesia from the time our five works were issued until he died two decades later the present binding was very probably done in a nearby Silesian workshop. Other Hess volumes appearing on the market over the years have mostly been unremarkable octavos so the present thick folio with its distinctive forceful decoration and titling stands out as unusually impressive. unknown
