Contemporary blind-tooled calf over wooden boards with brass clasps anchor and catch plates and corner pieces. Large folio 42.5 x 27.5 cm. With engraved general title-page letterpress title-pages for the New Testament and Apocrypha and half-title for the Prophets a series of 6 engraved double-page folding maps by Daniël Stoopendaal his larger set and a series of 24 of 25 engrave plates with 6 engraved Biblical scenes each by Dirk Jonkman. 3 parts in 1 volume. Beautifully illustrated large folio Dutch States Bible Statenbijbel with 6 six maps including a world map. They belong to the larger of two series by Daniël Stoopendaal first published in 1702 and revised in the plates for the present Bible. They were explicitly made for the Keur Bibles with for example Bible scenes rather than figures from classical mythology decorating the world map. The world map shows two hemispheres a copernican solar system in the upper and a ptolemaic in the lower smaller circle. The four continents are symbolically represented in the four corners. Some of the maps with some small tear along the folds and lacking one engraved plate; hinges damaged at the ends; generally in good condition.l Darlow & Moule 3337; Poortman & Augusteijn pp. 193-203 G II 2nd state maps 1-6; Poortman Bijbel en prent pp. 172-176.

174131833Midhurst West Sussex England 1741. Very Good. Midhurst West Sussex England 1741. Original large example of "Scherenschnitte" or scissor art depicting scenes predominantly from the Old Testament 41x32cm.; mounted within a scherenschnitte paper frame 51x43cm. The entire display is laid down on black mat in a 19th-century frame not examined out of frame. <br /> <br /> Scherenschnitte is the folk art tradition of cutting paper designs often incorporating rotational symmetry and silhouettes. A treasured Chinese art dating back to the invention of paper the tradition was adopted in Europe in the 16th century before making its way to Colonial America primarily the Pennsylvania region two centuries later.<br /> <br /> This is a stunning English example in which the plethora of intricate detail can take some time to take in. The interior centerpiece depicts Adam and Eve under the forbidden apple tree. They and their furry friends are surrounded by an intricate floral border. Below: the twelve Apostles; above: Mary in the manger Christ on the cross and Jesus ascending to Heaven. <br /> <br /> Radiating outward lie what are to us the most impressive part of this piece - eighteen vignettes sixteen from the Old Testament each admirable for their skillful artistry and execution. Jonah and the Whale Cain slaying Abel Death and Time the Last Judgment and Hell are all depicted the latter in the form of a fire-breathing monster. Happily for the historian the British royal arms are depicted as well as a circular lozenge stating the date and a name: "January 1741" and "James Cox" presumably the artist.<br /> <br /> Around the whole is a splendid 4cm-wide border executed in eight scissor-cut strips glued together and each with two or three cut circles within which the artist has written the titles of each Bible scene. Each circle has its own surrounding design with only a couple examples repeated. Though we don't know when it arrived in America this piece was found in a Lancaster Pennsylvania house. A truly superb example of this traditional folk art and a lovely survival. . unknown

In 1762 Bentham printed what became the standard edition of that magisterial translation: ""In this Bible a serious attempt was made by S.F. Parris to correct the text of King James' version by amending the spelling and punctuation unifying and extending the use of italics and removing printers' errors"" Darlow & Moule 854.

Known as the "Kurfürstenbibel" because of its portraits of the Electoral Princes called "Kurfürsten" in German it was originally prepared for Ernst I Duke of Saxe-Gotha and Altenburg as a celebration of Martin Luther's Bible translation. Editions were issued by the Endters one of the prominent German printing families beginning in 1641. In addition to portraits of Luther and the Protestant princes of Germany the present edition contains the maps views and illustrated half-titles by Jacob van Sandrart and others first used in the edition of 1686. Our copy contains four maps and views not found in other copies of this edition showing the eastern Mediterranean and Palestine as well as both a map and a view of Jerusalem. The size of our volume puts a great strain on the binding which has nevertheless stood the test of time remarkably well. The overall decoration is exuberant the delicate gauffering lovely and the original straps remarkably well preserved. Johann Andrea Endterischen unknown

De vier hoeken en de kettingklampen zijn voorzien van afbeeldingen van lezende personen de sloten met Mozes en Aäron. In de binnenzijde van het bovenste slot zijn de letters G.E.D. gegraveerd in het onderste slot staat het jaar 1785. Het zilverwerk op kerkboeken diende als statussymbool aan de band kon men de stand en rijkdom van een kerkganger aflezen. De Staphorster Bijbels werden vaak aan een koord of aan een ketting gedragen en behoorden bij de streekdracht voor de zondag. De zware zilveren ketting van dit exemplaar geeft aan dat deze het eigendom was van een vermogend persoon de mindere stand droeg de Bijbel aan een blauw koord of in geval van rouw een zwart koord.

The leather on the spine and the front cover of the binding is slightly damaged and the book block is slightly forward in the middle of the binding. So-called ""Staphorster chain bible"" containing the Old and New Testament the Psalms and Hymns and the Forms interleaved with page-size Biblical prints. Attractive binding bound in black gauffered leather decorated with silver and gilt-edged text block. Remarkable on this copy are the thick and heavy silver chain and the heavy silver clasps. The four corners and the chain holders are decorated with images of reading people the locks with Moses and Aaron. On the inside of the upper lock are the letters G.E.D. engraved in the lower lock the year 1785. The silver work on church books was seen as a status symbol; the binding showed the social class and wealth of a churchgoer. The Staphorst Bibles were often worn around the wrist on a rope or chain and belonged to the traditional costume for Sunday. The heavy silver chain of this copy points out that it was the property of a wealthy person; the lower class wore the Bible on a blue rope or in the case of mourning a black rope.

Housed in a brown buckram chamois-lined chemise and matching slipcase. New Testament with extra engraved title page with image of St. John his eagle and a lamb printer's device on printed title tailpiece at end of text; Psalms with extra engraved title page depicting David with his harp printed title with small vignette of the same scene; Festivals with engraved title page showing the Last Supper. Nap of velvet mostly gone except down the middle of the spine endpapers and the edges of first and last few leaves with numerous small rust spots apparently caused by the covers' metal frame and studs otherwise fine inside and out. An excellent example of a very unusual binding.<br/> <br/> With distinguished provenance this is a dramatic binding that makes a memorable display with engraved and pierced steel strapwork forming a lace-like pattern studded with faceted bosses that at first glance appear to be gems. Our volume has a general resemblance to the best of the small silver bindings produced during the Baroque period; its wonderfully executed foliate scrolls are reminiscent of a German binding described and pictured as item #15 in Hayward's "Silver Bindings from the J. R. Abbey Collection." However we have been unable to locate another example that strongly resembles ours. While not silver it is nevertheless a luxury binding--the engraving with its exquisite detail was done by a skilled hand and the materials themselves would have come at a price since before the Bessemer process of the 1850s steel was difficult to produce and consequently expensive. We do not know for whom this remarkable binding was originally made but we do know that it has more recently resided in two important American collections. Prior to 1955 it was in the library of Saul Cohn whose collection was sold at Parke-Bernet on April 26 of that year this was lot #67. Following that it was part of the illustrious collection of Cincinnati businessman arborist and philanthropist Cornelius J. Hauck 1893-1967 whose fortune was made in the family brewery; the auction of his library at Christie's in 2006 totaled more than $12.4 million this was lot #362 selling for $3120.

The present edition rumored to be issued in 2000 copies was printed by Christopher Saur II son of Christoph Saur the elder a native of Wittgenstein Germany. The elder Saur emigrated to Germantown Pennsylvania and practiced medicine before turning to printing. It was he who printed the 1743 first edition. A very nice copy of an important early American Bible. unknown
179168436Very Rare Early American Edition of a ChildrenÃs Pocket Bible BIBLE IN ENGLISH. The Holy Bible Abridged: Or the History of the Old and New Testament. Illustrated with Notes and Adorned with Cuts. For the Use of Children. Two lines from Luke. Boston: Samuel Hall 1791. Early American edition and first Samuel Hall edition second Boston edition. There were only a total of five Children's bibles published in America before 1791. The First American edition was printed in Boston in 1782 by Robert Hodge for N. Coverly followed by a Worcester Massachusetts 1786 edition by Isaiah Thomas 1786 and 1788 Philadelphia editions and a 1790 New York edition. Our present copy was published the year after the New York edition. Thirtytwomo 4 1/8 x 2 3/4 inches; 104 x 67 mm. 4 vii-ix 8 18-173 1 pp. With frontispiece of Adam and Eve and fifty-nine crude but charming woodcuts illustrations depicting stories from the text meant to appeal to young children. The stories that have been abridged for use in this Bible generally consist of the more well- known stories which would be of interest to children such as Creation Adam & Eve and Jonah and the Whale from the Old Testament as well as the birth baptism and crucifixion of Jesus from the New Testament. Listed in Evans but not in Sabin. We could find no copies of this edition at auction and only one copy found at the Massachusetts Historical Society. All early American editions are rare and only two complete copies of the New York 1790 edition since 1976. There was the 1786 Worcester edition at auction in 2008 but it was incomplete. Contemporary marbled paper over boards repacked with matching paper. Inner hinges strengthened. Bound without endpapers. Some soiling and toning throughout. One leaf page 145 with some fraying to the edges not affecting text. Overall very good particularly for a childrenÃs book. The rarity of this book can somewhat be contributed to its very small size and that it was intended for the use of children. Something as delicate and tiny as this Bible in the hands of a child had little hope for a bright future. ìBy 1789 Bible story collections specifically for children had existed in the mother country for nearly a century an active market in the American colonies had not opened up. Neither American Protestants nor American Catholics of whom were growing in numbers seemed ready to give Bible stories to their children. In the 1780Ãs the American situation changed radically. Boston printers pirated NewberyÃs Holy Bible Abridged; in 1786 the astute Worcester printer Isaiah Thomas followed suit; and by 1815 The Holy Bible Abridged had been printed in urban and provincial print centers all over the America northeast.î The Bible for Children: From the Age of Gutenberg to the Present.

Slight variations in color of the leather Ffff8 with lower corner torn away not affecting engraving occasional faint offsetting but AN EXTREMELY CLEAN FRESH COPY in a binding bright with gilt.<br/> <br/> This impressively bound Swedish Bible was a baptism gift that clearly would have outweighed its recipient as Swedish law at the time required an infant be baptized within the first eight days of life. Although hardly practical for personal devotion and study the majestic tome was a treasured heirloom passed down in the same family for 200 years. The beautiful fanfare style seen here emerged in France in the 16th century but remained very popular in Northern Europe into the 18th century particularly for large "lectern" Bibles like the present item. The text here is an extensively annotated edition of the 1618 Gustave II Adolf Bible prepared by a father and son both named Johannes Gezelius who served successively as Bishop of Åbo. The New Testament was first printed in that city in 1711-13 the Old Testament in Stockholm in 1724-28. In our copy the New Testament is a 1752 reprinting.

18009693London: Thomas Bensley for Thomas Macklin 1800. 7 volume set 48 cm Contemporary calf with decorative gilt stamped borders to boards with raised and gilt bands to backstrips. All edges gilt. Marbled endsheets and pastedowns. Some minor wear to corners. Some foxing to the plates. A few small dampstains. Some wear to backstrips and boards. The Macklin Bible is the largest Bible printed on a letterpress. Published serially between 1791 and 1800 in London this project was of one several ambitious projects that commissioned paintings of literary subjects exhibited them at their premises and sold engravings and/or editions of the relevant text including the engravings after the paintings by subscription. These 'literary galleries' sought to be both commercial printselling projects for the proprietors and to foster British history painting aligning with the ambitions of the Royal Academy to encourage a native school of painting in this genre. The foremost literary gallery was Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery which operated between 1789 and 1805.<br /> <br /> In addition to its 70 full-page plates the Bible includes head and tailpieces for each biblical book - 113 in total. All but two of the vignettes were designed by Philippe-Jacques de Loutherbourg who also painted 16 pictures for the full-page plates. The full-page plates and headpiece and tailpiece vignettes were published by Macklin and the text was printed for Macklin by Thomas Bensley. The type was cut by Joseph Jackson and Vincent Figgins Jackon's apprentice. The paper was made by Whatman. The instructions to the binder recommended binding the set in six volumes but this set like many others was bound in seven. Darlow & Moule 982. ESTC T123175. Herbert 1442.

1791373037Worcester: Isaiah Thomas 1791. First Edition. 48 engraved plates complete. 1310 2 89 3pp. Separate OT and NT titles. The family register between the Apocrypha and NT unaccomplished. Royal quarto. Contemporary calf covers ruled in gilt spine gilt with raised bands red morocco lettering piece marbled endpapers joints cracked but cords holding worn at extremities spine a bit abraded with some loss at top. Foxing a few leaves with short tears or small voids. Provenance: Ebenezer Byles signature on verso of the OT title. Housed in a blue cloth clamshell box. First Edition. 48 engraved plates complete. 1310 2 89 3pp. Separate OT and NT titles. The family register between the Apocrypha and NT unaccomplished. Royal quarto. Thomas' quarto bible was published in three distinct issues: with 2 copperplates only i.e. frontispieces to the Old and New Testaments; with two copperplates and John Brown's 89-page concordance in the rear; and the rarest and most deluxe form as here with 48 copperplates and the concordance. Of this last issue according to Thomas's catalogue the work was published "in elegant binding." The explanation for the work being complete with 48 plates rather than the 50 plates of the folio Thomas bible of the same year is easily explained: the frontispieces used for the folio bible plates I and XXXIII were too large for the quarto edition and thus were omitted with plates XXIX and XLVIII used as frontispieces of the quarto bible instead.<br /> <br /> A very difficult edition to find in a contemporary unsophisticated binding.

1790H4975Philadelphia & Berwick: Printed by and for John Taylor 1790. Hardcover. fair. Despite the general title page and the NT title page being Berwick/John Taylor extremely likely the Philadelphia printing with a cancel title page the first folio Bible and first illustrated Bible printed in the US. The bibliography on this is complex: the earliest copies were issued with a Philadelphia title page but as this came out in subscribed parts over the course of two years 1788-1790 those sent out before late May of 1790 would likely have had a Philadelphia title page and those sold after that date would have a false UK title page as does our copy; the Congressional rule called for strict oversight of the printing of any Bible in the United States to get around this the publishers of this Bible substituted a phony UK title page. This conforms to Hills no 16 The English Bible in America by Margaret Hills; see also Sabin 12929. Measuring 16.5 x 10.5 in original leather binding with red morocco spine label fair condition at best binding heavily worn boards detached and worn along edges contents good: minor institutional marks include bookplate withdawal stamps embossed stamp of institution in four places text good to very good has 28 plates including frontispiece.

1717062622Oxford: John Baskett Printer to the King's most Excellent Majesty 1717. Leather Bound. Folio. Measures 52 x 34 x 14 cm. Bound in leather likely late 19th century. Binding split at rear joint. Some damage to text block especially prelims; a few loose pages some chips and tears foxing some pages darkened. Three rounds of restoration are evident the most recent carefully documented a fourth round required. Herbert 942A: "A magnificent edition printed in large type. With many plates at the beginning and end of books engraved on steel from the designs of various artists. Some of the initial letters are similarly engraved. Unfortunately the book contained many misprints and earned the nickname 'A Baskett-ful of Errors'. From the misprint The Parable of the Vinegar for vineyard in the headline above Luke xx this edition is commonly known as the 'Vinegar Bible'." "John Baskett 1665–1742 attained the title of “printer to the King’s most excellent majesty†in 1709 but his publishing career turned for the worse when he issued this richly-engraved folio Bible in 1717. Quick to point out the Bible’s numerous misprints Baskett’s competitors branded it “a Baskett-ful of Errors.†The edition’s more lasting nickname has been the “Vinegar Bible†because the words “Parable of the Vinegar†appear at the top of the page containing Luke 20:9 Christ’s Parable of the Vineyard." - smu.edu Special Collections.
