The binding is made by or in the style of the French Parisian binders Le Monnier. "The delicate construction finesse of tooling and delineation and the fantasy of these bindings render them veritable jewels." see The History of bookbinding 525-1950 A.D. no. 456.Van den Leemputte was a highly educated cleric from a noble family in the Southern Netherlands. He held high offices within the diocese bishopric of 's Hertogenbosch. Aside from the present version of the New Testament first published in 1622 he wrote several treatises on the Holy Sacraments published 1624 and edited two works one manual for explaining the Holy Scripture and one defence of the Catholic church against the Reformed church.From the library of Carlo de Poortere 1917-2002 a director of the family tapestry business and a Belgian bibliophile with a large collection of 17th- and 18th-century book bindings and illustrated books from the 16th-20th centuries. It had previous been part of the collection of English Baptist minister and book collector Andrew Gifford 1700-1784. The "of the Museum" below his name in the engraved bookplate seems to refer to his position as assistant keeper of books and manuscript at the British Museum from 1757 until his death. Curiously he bequeathed his collection of books manuscripts pictures and other curiosities not to the British Museum but to the Bristol Baptist College. In the 1970s the Trustees of this college decided to sell all copies of the Gifford collection to pay for renovations to the chapel.With the gold-tooled red morocco bookplate of Carlo de Poortere on the verso of the blank fly leaf and a near contemporary engraved paper bookplate on the verso of the title-page possibly of Andrew Gifford 1700-1784. The binding shows minor signs of wear at the outer corners of the boards and spine otherwise it is in fine condition. The bottom outer corner of the first blank flyleaf and the title-page have been restored a slight water stain in the bottom margin of the first half of the work some occasional slight browning. Quire 24 has been mis-bound at the end of the work in quire 3H4 but the collation is complete. Otherwise in very good condition.

Clizbee "Curtis Walters American Binder" in "The American Book Collector" August September 1932 pp. 124-34 this binding pictured in the second plate. Copy included with this item. Very slight offsetting from plates and the odd trivial imperfection internally otherwise a fine copy IN AN IMMACULATE BINDING.<br/> <br/> This splendid mosaic binding is a tour-de-force of design and craftsmanship from an underappreciated American binder who specialized in this technique. The foreword to the 10 December 1957 sale catalogue of his bindings at Parke Bernet says that they "constitute a splendid group of American mosaic bindings such as have never been offered for sale before. . . . The description of bindings is always a difficult matter; it becomes practically impossible when one is faced by the stunning variety of complex patterns of colored mosaic inlays which Mr. Walters has assembled with infinite patience extraordinary skill and sophisticated taste . . . He has invented and brought to perfection a new technique whereby the most intricate inlaid designs can be achieved by a few simple tools without the use of dies or punches; gilt dots circlets and fillets are generally applied with restraint. . . . It need hardly be added that all of Mr. Walters' bindings are made of the very finest leathers available and that their workmanship reveals consummate craftsmanship down to the smallest detail." The present item was lot #25 in that sale. Walters became interested in bookbinding around 1900 and studied with such prestigious workshops as William Matthews the Club Bindery and Henry Stikeman. In "Hand Bookbinding in the United States Since the Civil War" Thompson tell us of Walters' work: "The infinite variety of design permitted by mosaic work is combined with Walters' marvelous delicacy in color schemes finely conceived geometric patterns and tasteful use of gold leaf to produce books that no Americans save perhaps the artists of the Club Bindery could have matched. The utter simplicity of Walters' methods he used but four tools belies his perseverance and devotion to his art. Only infinite patience and consummate skill could have produced Walters' bindings." The article by Azalea Clizbee in the accompanying copy of "The American Book Collector" describes Walters' technique for creating his mosaic bindings using only the simplest tools with plates depicting eight of his bindings including this one. Although very secondary here the text is appropriately a celebration of book arts--printing binding and illustration--by William Dana Orcutt 1870-1953 typographer printer and book designer. After graduating from Harvard in 1892 he went to work for the University Press there. He created several typefaces most notably "Humanistic" based on the humanist hand of 15th century scribe Antonio Sinibaldi. With Daniel Updike and Bruce Rogers he established the Boston Society of Printers in 1905. He was the author of several works on printing typography and the making of beautiful books.

168222076Rome 1682. Contemporary boards covered with later ca. 1840 Storemont on shell marbled paper. Small folio 26 x 19.5 cm. 40 ink and watercolour drawings 28 round and 12 square each ca. 11 x 11 cm showing the decorative patterns and coloured marbles from the floors of 5 churches. Each has a triple-rule border in black ink with a panel at the foot containing the name of the church. A book of 40 detailed colour drawings showing the elaborate patterns in the mosaic marble tile floors of five different churches with eight examples from each church: Santa Maria Maggiore 1-8 Santi Giovanni e Paolo 9-16 San Marco 17-24 Sant' Alessio 25-32 and Sant' Ivo 33-40. All probably refer to the Roman churches of these names though the Basilica di San Marco in Venice also has elaborate mosaic floors. Some of the mosaics are in the Mediaeval Italian style called Cosmatesque but some may date from the Renaissance. Besides a wide variety of triangular square rectangular diamond hexagonal and octagonal tiles there are many cut with circular edges and a few irregular quadrilaterals. Some are assembled to form stars in a hexagonal grid round sunburst patterns and an endless variety of other patterns. All patterns show a rotational symmetry around the centre point or a repeating pattern in a square or hexagonal grid. The colouring of many of the tiles shows various styles and colours of marble veins.The drawings are difficult to date exactly. The leaves used for the drawings show a single paper stock very close to Piccard VI watermarks V.423 & V.424 Rome 1662. The drawings could have been made as early as ca. 1662 but the lettering of the names of the churches seems more likely to date from the 18th century. In 1752 Monsignor Giuseppe Alessandro Furietti a prelate from Bergamo published an illustrated book on mosaics from classical Rome to his own day: De Musivis Rome 1752. This marked a new interest in such antiquities but he illustrates mainly earlier examples and we find little link with the present examples which were probably drawn before his book appeared. With smudges on a few pages one slightly affecting the edge of one drawing but otherwise in very good condition with only a light marginal water stain in the last few leaves. The front hinge is broken and the spine and edges of the binding are somewhat tattered. Since many floor mosaics have been destroyed or damaged over the centuries the present book provides a unique historical record of some of the designs. hardcover
