An unrecorded issue 1 of at least 7 of a rare and important 1590 Bible edition the corrected "deux aes" Bible based on the first edition of 1562 New Testament 1559 which remained the standard Dutch Reformed Bible until the official Dutch States translation published in 1637. It was translated from Luther's German by Godfried van Wingen the New Testament by Johannes Dyrkinus after comparison with several other versions and includes many notes some also taken from Luther and some by Augustin Marlorat as well as Petrus Danthenus's metric psalms with music notes. The Amsterdam bookseller Laurens Jacobsz. initiated the publication of the present corrected text of the "deus aes" Bible and the maps to accompany it publishing the folio edition with maps himself but sharing the quarto edition with four other publishers. Although Jacobsz.'s name does not appear in the present issue he was originally trained as a binder operated his shop at the sign of the gold-tooled Bible and Fontaine Verwey gives evidence to link him with the panel stamp on the present binding. He may therefore have bound copies or had them bound for the other publishers. Bibliasacra Typ. Batava and the STCN together record only 8 copies of all issues combined at least half of those lack leaves and some of the copies with all leaves have defective leaves or lack the maps so that they record at most 2 other complete copies with maps.With a few leaves slightly browned a water stain in the second half and the first preliminary quire of part 1 faint outside a few quires small tears in the maps and a few worm holes or other defects in the paper mostly in the margins of the last few leaves but still in good condition.

Title and Almanacke printed in red and black. Two large half-page engravings before Psalms and Isaiah. Many woodcuts throughout the text. Text in black letter double columns with 65 lines to the full column. Text is ruled in red from Genesis through 2 Samuel and again throughout the New Testament. Text divided into five parts with divisional title pages to each part surrounded by two ornamental blocks and two woodcuts above and below depicting narrative scenes. This Bible contains the famous note in 1 Peter 3: "And yf she be not obedient and healpfull unto hym endevevoureth to beate the feare of God into her heae that thereby she maye be compelled to learne her duitie and do it" and is sometimes referred to as the "wife-beater Bible." The text includes Tyndale's chapter summaries and prologues including his notes in Revelation where he refers to the Pope as the antichrist.</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Contemporary brown calf over beveled oak boards.

Copies of the 1537 first edition are very difficult to find and rarely complete. The text was reprinted twice in 1549: one edition with the notes slightly revised by Edmund Becke and the "wife-beater" note at 1 Peter 3 this copy and the other edition being a straight reprint of the 1537 text without woodcuts and a notoriously bad printing. This edition boasts numerous woodcuts in the text especially the Pentateuch the gospels and Revelation. </p><p>John Rogers was a central figure in the history of the English Bible. Best known as the editor of the Matthew's Bible Rogers deliberately worked under the pseudonym "Thomas Matthew" to distance the volume from the condemned and dangerous name of William Tyndale. This strategic choice allowed the Bible to circulate more freely at a time when Tyndale's translations were officially banned. In reality roughly two thirds of the Matthew's Bible consists of Tyndale's work including Genesis through 2 Chronicles and the entire New Testament. Rogers helped preserve and disseminate Tyndale's translation during a period when doing so openly could invite severe punishment.</p><p>Rogers' faithfulness to Scripture ultimately cost him his life. During the reign of Queen Mary I when she sought to return England to Catholicism Rogers was arrested for heresy and became the first Protestant martyr of Mary's persecution. In 1555 he was burned at the stake at Smithfield reportedly in the presence of his wife and children bearing witness to his convictions to the end. The Matthew's Bible is considered to be the primary version of our English Bible.</p><p><strong>References:</strong> Herbert 74; Harold H. Hutson and Harold R.

The Genoa Psalter also known as the Octaplum or Quadruplex Psalter was the first polyglot psalter to be published and the first polyglot edition of any part of the Bible. Financed by the Oriental language scholar Bishop Agostino Giustiniani and printed in Genoa in 1516 it presents the psalms laid out in eight columns i.e. four per page on double-page spreads: in Hebrew a Latin paraphrase the Vulgate Latin the Septuagint Greek Arabic Chaldean Aramaic a Latin paraphrase and the editor's notes. "A monument of Renaissance typography this Psalter was linguistically the most ambitious work attempted to date and the first Polyglot work ever published. It provides the Psalms in five languages as well as a marginal scholarship based largely on rabbinic sources. The Arabic text is one of the first two texts and the first biblical text ever printed in this language. The Hebrew types used in this book were apparently never used again" B. Sabin Hill Hebraica from the Valmadonna Trust The Piermont Morgan Library 1989 no. 18.<br /> <br /> Notably within a lengthy editor's note to Psalm XIX is what is considered the first printed biography of Christopher Columbus along with a very early description of his voyage. A native son of Genoa Giustiniani presents the discovery of the new world as a fulfilment of Biblical prophecy appropriately glossing verse four of Psalm XIX to include his biography of Columbus: "Their sound is gone out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world." <br /> <br /> The text of the biography of Columbus written a decade after his death includes a brief account of his childhood and continues at length on his discovery of America. Translated from the Latin it begins: "And so their words have reached unto the ends of the earth at least in our own times in which by the marvelous daring of Christopher Columbus of Genoa almost another world was discovered and joined to the community of Christians. And since Columbus often declared that he was chosen by God so that through him this prophecy would be fulfilled I did not consider it unsuitable to include his life here. Therefore Christopher surnamed Columbus a Genoese by birth . lived in our age and through his own efforts explored more lands and seas in a few months than almost all other mortals had done throughout all previous ages . More swiftly than the Portuguese had done he approached new lands and new peoples and at last penetrated regions unknown before now. The news of this matter quickly reached the King who - both out of rivalry with the Portuguese kings and a desire for such new marvels and glory that might accrue to him and his descendants - after long discussions with Columbus finally ordered two ships to be outfitted. With these Columbus set sail from the Fortunate Islands directing his course slightly off the western line . After many days of sailing they had covered great distances. While the others having lost all hope urged a change in course Columbus persisted asserting by reason and conjecture that continuing but a little longer might lead them to discover continents or islands. Nor was he wrong. On the following dawn they sighted land. From this event immense confidence arose in human minds. Later it was learned that these were islands and observations were made of certain peoples there uncultivated and prone to raids on their neighbors even devouring human flesh like wolves. There were violent encounters yet eventually some of these islanders were brought safely to Spain astonishing and delighting all who saw them because they were at first timid unfamiliar with approach easy to persuade and marveling at everything as new."<br /> <br /> An important and desirable work from a liturgical linguistic and historical perspective.

Newer paper backstrip matching the paper of the wrappers. Some leaves browned. Occasional brownspotting. An overall excellent copy. Housed in a old vellum chemise with ties and handwritten title EVANGELIUM to spine. Old amorial vague red stamp to title-page colophon and p. 97 from the Bibliotheque Impériale now Bibliotheque Nationale with a small deaccession-stamp to title-page. Magnificently illustrated with 149 large woodcut engravings in the text. 368 pp. Arabic text within double-frame border througout. Beautifully printed on very heavy paper. <br/><br/><em>The scarce editio princeps of the Arabic translation of the New Testament magnificently printed in Granjon's famous font considered the first satisfactory Arabic printing type appearing here for the first time and beautifully illustrated with 149 woodcut illustrations in the text. This work constitutes the very first printing by the Typographia Medicea-press a printing-house set up by Pope Gregor XIII and Cardinal Ferdinando de Medici in order to promote and distribute Christian scriptures to the East. This splendid work is considered the first successful printing of Arabic. Apart from the Latin part of the title-page and the colophon the book is in Arabic throughout. Two issues of the work were printed almost simultaneously the Arabic-only text which has the year 1590 on the title-page and 1591 on the colophon and the interlenear Arabic-Latin edition which has 1591 on the title-page. The Arab-only edition with 1590 on the title-page is generally considered the first. "Its first great Arabic publication was this edition of the Gospels bearing the date 1590 on the title page and 1591 at the end. Two versions appeared one solely in Arabic and one with an interlinear Latin translation." Library of Congress.The work was edited by Giovanni Battista Raimondi 1536-1614 a renowned Orientalist and professor of mathematics at the College of the Sapienza in Rome. Raimondi had travelled extensively in the Middle East and had thorough knowledge of Arabic Armenian Syrian and Hebrew. He is however most famous for being the editor at the Typographia Medicea-press; together with French engraver Robert Granjon who also created the Arabic typography of the present work "bettered all previous attempts to print in Arabic in Europe and would remain unsurpassed long after the press had closed. Boogert "Medici Oriental Press Rome 1584-1614"."Antonio Tempesta the engraver cutter: Leonardo Parasole had studied under Santi di Tito and Joannes Stradanus at the Accademia del Disegno in Florence later working with Stradanus and Vasari on the interior decoration of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence before travelling to Rome where he executed various commissions including frescos for Pope Gregory XIII in the Vatican and decorations for the Villa Farnese. Simultaneously with his frescos and panel paintings he executed a large number of engravings. The illustrations for the present work are remarkable examples of Tempesta's work noteworthy for their clear composition and narrative of the episodes depicted. Despite the extremely high quality of the prints the press never became an economic success and it went bankrupt in 1610. Scholars have noticed that presenting a work with beautiful scriptural illustrations as the present to Arabic-speaking Muslims when Islam forbids religious illustration showed little understanding of the culture and almost certainly hindered Pope Gregory XIII's missionary efforts."The press was not only an intellectual enterprise; it was also a commercial one. Raimondi clearly hoped to sell his books in the East rather than the West because the selection of the works he produced showed little consideration with the type of material European scholars in this period needed. While the works failed to sell in the Ottoman Empire however they did significantly stimulate the study of the Middle East in Europe.Ferdinando de' Medici had ordered Raimondi to print 'all available Arabic books on permissible human sciences which had no religious content in order to introduce the art of printing to the Mohamedan community.' Only more than a century after the Medici Press in Rome had closed did it finally have the envisaged impact in the Levant; Ibrahim Müteferrika the first Muslim printer referring to it in his plea to the sultan to allow him to open his own printing house at Istanbul which happened in 1729." Boogert "Medici Oriental Press Rome 1584-1614".The copy was previously in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris at the time when it was entitled "Bibliothèque Imperiale" which was its name inbetween from 1849 to 1871. Thus the book entered the library in Napoleonic times and was later deaccessioned. Brunet II 1122-23Schnurrer 318Adams: B:1822 </em> hardcover

The annotation . is uniformly intense throughout. The script is a very small at times microscopic Germanic cursive and there is evidence of careful layout especially in the marginal gloss." Estimating the annotations to be approximately 80000 words Rosenthal describes the interlinear notes as "frequently far more than simole reading aids." He continues: "The marginal gloss includes an argumentum for each chapter and its subdivisions . There are also occasional citations from authorities such as St. Thomas and Ambrose."<br /> <br /> It is a handsomely printed volume with the title in large red letters above an 11-line subtitle in black.

A great number of English Bibles and English versions were available by the end of the sixteenth century yet none were acceptable to Catholics. With priests hard to come by and many fellow Englishmen who knew their Bible well a need arose for an English Bible that would be acceptable to Rome and allow adherents to refute the errors around them. Gregory Martin an Oxford scholar began the work in 1578 and it would take him four years. He translated about two chapters per day from Latin into English leaving a heavily Latinized translation. His work was submitted for review to William Allen the first president of the college at Douai. The New Testament was printed in 1582 with the Old Testament delayed by financial reasons until 1609-10. The work was used by the translators of the King James Bible who borrowed quite freely from the Rheims New Testament.</p><p><strong>References:</strong> Herbert 177; STC 2884; ESTC S102419 Rhemes Herbert 300; STC 2207; ESTC S101944 Doway; PMM 114; Daniell David.

Housed in modern suede-lined calf-backed clamshell boxes with magnetic closures. Printer's device on titles and final page decorative initials and headpieces. Front pastedown of volume I with ex-libris of Georgios Arvanitidis. Renouard 171:1; Schreiber 239; Darlow & Moule 4633; Adams B-1670. See: Verron "Les Reliures de l'Entrée de Charles IX à Paris 1572 . . . réalisées par Claude Picques" in Bulletin du Bibliophile 2014 no. 2 pp. 282-98. Just a touch of rubbing to extremities front hinge of second volume open but everything quite tight text with occasional mild browning small spots trivial smudges or tiny worm trails but A BEAUTIFUL COPY clean and fresh internally and the bindings tight and lustrous with very bright gilt<br/> <br/> With exceptional visual appeal these two precious volumes shining with gilt and containing the Greek New Testament from the renowned Estienne family of printers are of special interest because of their typography their bindings and their provenance. With the expressed goal of printing Greek texts from manuscripts in the royal library at Fontainebleau François I established the post of royal printer in Greek in 1539 appointed Robert Estienne I 1503-59 to the position in 1542 and commissioned the renowned Claude Garamond to cut a new Greek font for this project. To design the type the King called on his own celebrated calligrapher Angelo Vergecio who produced in collaboration with Garamond three different sizes of what came to be called the Royal Types or "grecs du roi." According to Schreiber "These cursive Greek types are universally acknowledged as the finest ever cut." In 1548 and 1549 Robert Estienne issued the press' first Greek Testament known as the "O mirificam" edition for the opening of the dedication to the king in 16mo or "pocket" format using the smaller font of Garamond's "grecs du roi." In 1550 Robert a Protestant moved to Geneva while his son Robert II 1533-70 a Catholic remained in Paris and took over as the royal printer in Greek. Our 1568 Testament--the only one issued by the son--is a reprinting of the "O mirificam" edition but expanded with the critical apparatus from the 1550 folio edition issued by the father. Schreiber notes that our edition is interesting from a typographical point of view as it contains an even more minute version of the already small grecs du roi type for the Table of Chapters. The exceptionally pretty volumes are done in the style of royal binder Claude Picques fl. 1539-78 and employ a decorative roll very similar to one that appears on the spine of the vellum bindings Picques did for "L'Entrée de Charles IX à Paris" 1572. Our volumes once graced the library of Constantinople collector Georgios Arvanitidis 1876-1953 whose library included a number of Estienne Greek editions. They were later in the distinguished library of Frederick B. Adams 1910-2001 director of the Pierpont Morgan Library from 1948-69 and then president of the prestigious Association Internationale de Bibliophilie from 1974-83. And they were featured in the celebrated 1929 Gumuchian catalogue of 398 historically exceptional bindings as item #71. Robert Estienne II unknown

Ff. 8 CCCXXV 1 LXXXVII i.e. 85 5. Manuscript marginal glosses in red chiefly calling out names names in Kings. 1 vols. Folio. The first Protestant Bible in Latin edited by Johan Rüdel Rudelius printed in Cologne by Peter Quentel or Quentell and notable for the wood engraved illustrations by Anton Woensam Anton von Worms particularly those at the head of each of the four gospels. Matthew faces an angle who is touching his stylus; a lion is seated beside Mark; a bull with Luke; and an eagle stands beside John.<br /> <br /> Quentel was the printer of Tyndale's quarto Cologne English New Testament known from a single surviving fragment in the Grenville Collection where this same illustration to Matthew appears. It is a reasonable inference that each of the four gospels would have carried an illustration. The project which had "'got as far as the letter K' the signature that would have taken the work well into Mark" ODNB was unfinished at the time of Tyndale's flight from Cologne in 1525. Quentel's print shop was raided but sheets of the first gospel translated from the original Greek and printed in English soon began to circulate in England. Tyndale settled in Worms where Schöffer completed an octavo printing of the first complete English New Testament in 1526 a facsimile of the Grenville fragment and its illustration were published in 1871.<br /> <br /> The blocks for the illustrations evidently survived the raid on the Quentel's shop and are used here at the head of each of the four gospels.<br /> <br /> A notable edition in the history of the printing of the Bible.

1590372093Rome: Ex Typographia Apostolica Vaticana 1590. First edition of the Sixtine Vulgate Bible. Engraved illustrated title-page. Title in red and black text in double columns. 8 479 1; 5 482-899; 5 902-1141pp. Lacks the 4ff preface i.e. the papal bull of Sixtus V beginning "Aeternus ille caelestium terrestriumq. rerum omnium conditr ac moderator Deus ." as often.

Title in red and black text in double columns. 8 479 1; 5 482-899; 5 902-1141pp. Lacks the 4ff preface i.e. the papal bull of Sixtus V beginning "Aeternus ille caelestium terrestriumq. rerum omnium conditr ac moderator Deus ." as often. Folio 13-1/2 x 9-1/2 inches. The Sixtine Bible containing the Vulgate text as edited by Pope Sixtus V intended as the first ecclesiastically authorized text to be used throughout Christendom. "In its text it comes closer to R. Stephanus' Bible of 1538-40 than to the Louvain editions" Darlow & Moule who discuss the textual variations. <br /> <br /> The association with Aldus II suggested by Renouard and lasting long thereafter is spurious.<br /> Pope Sixtus V died soon after the book was printed and was followed by three short-lived popes. The Sixtine Bible had "aroused antagonism among both clergy and laity" and was swiftly condemned; the edition was withdrawn by Pope Clement VIII soon after his elevation to the papal throne in 1592 and many copies were destroyed. Preparations began in 1591 for a new edition of the Vulgate printed in 1592 and known as the Clementine Bible which long remained the standard Vulgate text.<br /> <br /> As often e.g. the Brooker copy this copy without the preface the Bull of Sixtus declaring the text to be immutable and forbidding any reprint without papal permission.

Our copy is the variant with Hebrew and Latin title. A majority of the few surviving copies are bound with a Hebrew title and the publisher's information is taken from the colophon which provides a Jewish calendar date of 5347 = 1587. Vinograd notes that individual books and sections of the Hebrew Bible had been printed at Wittenberg since a quarto edition of the prophet Obadiah appeared in 1521. The title-page designs were re-used in the Hebrew bible published at Frankfurt am Oder in 1595. Each book closes with the Masora Finales printed in square type.<br /> <br /> Andreas Masch notes in his revised edition of Le Long's Bibliotheca Sacra 1778: "This edition of the Hebrew Bible is so rare and infrequent that it was omitted in the earlier edition of Le Long's work at Paris but it is known to Wolffius Bibliotheca Hebraea not in its entirety but only in respect of certain parts." One can speculate as to why the edition is rare but it may be worth noting that "when Hans and Friedrich Hartmann decided to start producing Hebraica in an effort to become the official printer for the univeristy of Frankfurt/Oder they were able to do so relatively quickly by hiring away five experienced workmen from Zacharias Croto's Wittenberg firm which was having financial difficulties" Burnett.<br /> <br /> Masch continues: "At the colophon is noted the year and the name of those at whose expense this Hebrew Bible was published: colophon info in Heb. and Latin The above example is therefore attributed to the liberality of the prince and to the expense of the two citizens of Wittenberg But the Rühilii brothers were not correctors of the work but citizens and senators of Witteberg whose name is quite famous in the history of the Germanic Bibles. The work came from the workshop of Zacharias Craton otherwise known as Kraft to whom we owe several editions of German Bibles. The title in both copies represents a gate in which above and below Ps. 118 com. 20. is printed. In accordance with the first Plantin edition the text was printed so as to match nearly page-for-page. It is composed of four parts with the five festival books added to the Pentateuch; but each part is decorated with a special title."

Including: - Hebraica Chaldaea Graecáque & Latina nomina virorum .- Index rerum et sentiarum quae in Veteris & novi testamenti libris continentur. Second enlarged and first fully glossed edition of the famed Estienne Bible. The work is "considered the earliest genuine attempt at a critical edition of the Vulgate text. it became practically the foundation of the official Roman Vulgate" Schreiber. The first edition of this Bible was Estienne's first major work and "immediately established him as the most outstanding figure in the Paris book trade at the time" Schreiber. The present copy is complete with the glossary and index which appear as parts 3 and 4. It also includes the beautiful criblé initials by engraver Geoffroy Tory 1480-1533.Robert Estienne 1503-1559 acquired Vulgate manuscripts during his years in Paris and printed numerous editions throughout his career beginning in 1528. Unlike the first edition the present edition includes marginal references concise notes and an extensive index of significant Hebrew words. It also contains Estiennes distinctive typographical symbols indicating words present in the Hebrew text but omitted from the Latin version and vice versa. Notably this edition is the first in which Estienne placed the Acts of the Apostles between the Gospels and the Pauline Epistles rather than at the end of the volume as was then customary.With an annotation at the top of the title page another in the middle of the title page and a signature below. The front and back board are somewhat scratched. The title page has been reinforced in the margins likely with the final blank of the second part which is missing to repair the tear in the bottom half large ink stains in the inner margin of leaves 243-244 and 306-307 of the first part a tear in the outer margin of leaf 7 of part 3 minor ink thumb prints on some of the leaves each leaf has been ruled in reddish-brown ink with manicules on some of the leaves.
