160033612Antwerp: By Daniel Vervliet 1600. Small 4to 21 cm; 8.25". 18 ff. 745 1 pp. 13 ff. <br><br>The second edition of the Roman Catholic new Testament in English. The translation is the work of a number of English Catholic priests but principally of Gregory Martin who fled to France in 1568 because of persecution in their native land and under the direction of Dr. later Cardinal William Allen founded the English College at Douai. The college moved for a short time to Rheims but subsequently returned as the title-page here attests.<br>Â Â Â Â The first edition of this translation was issued at Rheims in 1582 in over-sanguine hopes that its sale would be successful enough to underwrite the cost of a prompt production of the Old Testament. The two-volume O.T. did not appear however until 1609/1610.<br>Â Â Â Â The second edition of the Rheims N.T. is a revision of the first not merely a reprinting of it and contains a "Table of Heretical Corruptions" not found in the 1582 printing and a new preface. In an era of noticeable decline in the art of printing this Testament enjoys far better than average typography. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Darlow & Moule 198; Herbert 258; STC 2989; ESTC S102510.

1589D15147London 1589. First Edition thus. Full Calf. Near Fine. Small folio 10 3/4 x 7 1/2 in.; 274 X 191 mm. Text in parallel columns 56 lines to the full column: Rheims New Testament printed in roman type on the left the Bishops' version in italics on the right both divided in verses all arguments marginal notes and other annotations of the Rheims NT printed at the end interspersed with the confutations title within woodcut border woodcut initials head and tailpieces. Eighteenth-century Cambridge-style mottled calf; expertly rebacked to period style red morocco lettering pieces mottling oxidized. An exceptionally nice copy of the first edition of Fulke's refutation of the arguments and accusations contained in the Catholic New Testament which was edited chiefly by Gregory Martin and printed at Rheims in 1582. The Rheims New Testament and the Bishops' version are here printed in full side by side with Fulke's commentary at the end of each chapter. This tandem printing "secured for the former a publicity which it would not otherwise have obtained and was indirectly responsible for the marked influence which Rheims exerted on the Bible of 1611" Herbert <br/><br/> unknown books
