First edition two parts in one vol. the complete Bible 996 pp. Old Testament 7pp. errata; 318 pp. New Testament 3pp. errata large 4to 26 x 21 cm; text printed entirely in Ottoman Turkish Osmanli in vocalised Arabic typeface bookplates removed from lower board internally clean and crisp condition; contemporary blind-tooled calf edges and spine ends skillfully repaired overall a very handsome copy.<br /> Scarce complete first Ottoman Turkish edition of the Bible published in paris.<br /><br />Based on the translation of Wojciech Bobowski known as Ali Bey 16101675 and referred to as the 'Kitab'i Mukaddes' Holy Bible this text was the first complete Turkish translation of the Bible including both the Old and New Testaments and became the basis for later Turkish translations used by Armenian and Greek Christians. The text was printed in Arabic character with full vocalisation in an edition of 5000 copies of the complete Bible and 2000 issues of the New Testament printed separately. The aesthetic and elegant type are notably those used by the Imprimerie Royale in Paris reminiscent of many important early Arabic and Turkish publications from Napoleonic Egypt at the turn of the nineteenth-century.<br /><br />In 1820 J. D. Kieffer became the first Agent of the B. F. B. S. in France and in the same year he began a thorough revision of Ali Bey's translation of the Bible comparing it with the original texts as well as with the standard English French and German versions. The translation of this edition of the New Testament was carefully revised in view of the criticism passed on the 1819 edition of the same apparently the earliest Arab-Turkish edition of the New Testament in Osmanli.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image First edition first issue of this superbly illustrated work with the final plate in the first issue "avant les clous" state. The 214 engravings were done by such prominent artists as Bernard Picart Jan Luyken and Gerard Hoet. The translation is generally agreed to be by David Martin 1639-1721 a Huguenot refugee living in Amsterdam although the work is more commonly known as "Mortier's Bible" after the Dutch cartographer 1661-1711 who published it.

Armorial bookplate "In Memori: Weiler Bibliotheca Trautner Falkiana" on verso of front free endpaper.<br /> <br /> First De Tournes Latin Bible based on Robert Estienne's text and beautifully illustrated with 198 woodcuts by Bernard Salomon. "Considerable work could be done on Salomon's sources for these cuts. The Expulsion from Paradise suggests Holbein's version; the New Testament shows some dependence on the set owned by Sébastien Gryphius. the Apocalypse blocks are enlarged copies of the fine Janot Apocalypse. But the cumulative effect of Salomon's carefully detailed scenes is that of an individual contribution to Bible illustration. Particularly interesting from the point of view of technique are the night scenes in Exodus and the storm over Noah's ark. In this 1554 Bible the New Testament blocks are printed with arabesque strip borders at the sides. Arabesque and type ornament headpieces." Mortimer Contents include: Old Testament; Psalms; New Testament Epistles Acts; Index Testimoniorum & Index Epistolarum.<br /> <br /> Robert I Estienne 1503-1559 was a French protestant printer and scholar born into a printmaking family. He would take over his family's Paris firm in 1526 where he printed significant works in Latin Greek Hebrew and other languages. His 1531 Thesaurus linguae latinae is considered a major milestone in lexicography. Despite his many commissions for the King religious tensions forced Estienne to flee to Geneva. <br /> <br /> This bible was illustrated by Bernard Salomon c.1508-1561 a French artist who is known for engravings and illustrations. Although little is known about his life his art reveals stylistic influences from Mannerism and the School of Fontainebleau executed in a detailed and small scale. Salomon is known to have collaborated with the printer Jean de Tournes and produced decoration for emblem books bibles and classic texts. Many of his engravings also appear as source material for art objects such as a Faience plate at the MET featuring the Sacrifice of Noah.<br /> <br /> Brunet I 876 & Supplement I 125; Darlow & Moule 6134 note; Mortimer French no. 81.

Some light scuffing to the boards otherwise near fine.<br /> <br /> A spectacular example of the large paper edition this Bible sometimes called the "Killer Bible" for its typographical error in Mark 7 verse 27: "Let the children be killed" rather than "filled." It was richly illustrated by James Fittler 1758-1835 an esteemed British engraver of portraits and landscapes who served as marine engraver to King George III. He produced illustrations for the Boydell Shakespeare and Dibdin's Aedes Althorpinae. In this edition Fittler based his engravings on Old Master paintings befitting the gravity of the text. The printer Thomas Bentley produced large editions for Thomas Macklin Rudolph Ackermann and Paul Colnaghi all publishers of plate books; he also printed several of the earliest books for the Roxburghe Club.<br /> <br /> ESTC lists three editions of the Bowyer and Fittler Bible: this one which ESTC describes as the large paper edition; the regular two-volume quarto edition also 1795; and a: two-volume twelvemo edition 1796 which was issued in parts.

He appealed to Germany where Dr. Heinrich Luther provided him with the type in exchange for a presentation copy. It took him three years to complete the printing of the Bible. Saur made every effort to promote the reading of the Scriptures. His asking price was eighteen shillings but his quoted as saying that "to the poor and needy we have no price." An estimated 120 copies have survived making copies of the 1743 edition quite scarce.</p><p><strong>References:</strong> D&M 4240; Evans 5127; Wright 31.</p> Christopher Saur hardcover

This second edition was preceded by bible set printed by Anton Koberger in 1485. It was a monumental production incorporating the biblical commentary of medieval Franciscan scholar Nicholas de Lyra 12701349 with the additions of Paul of Burgos ca. 13511435 and responses to the latter by Matthias Doering d. 1469 as well as the commentary of William the Breton ca. 11651225 on the Prologues of Jerome. Part 3 of the set contained the books of the Major and Minor Prophets along with the books of the Lamentations and Maccabees. Nicholas de Lyras biblical gloss or Postilla encouraged much scholarly discourse throughout the Middle Ages and was frequently reprinted into the 16th century.

Housed in a fine modern brown morocco felt-lined clamshell box. First two works with extra engraved illustrated title page. Ink gift inscription on front flyleaf: "Helen McDowell/ from her/ affectionate/ illegible/ with sincere/ good wishes/ for her future/ happiness/ August 1864." For the binding: Hayward "Silver Bindings from the J. R. Abbey Collection" 14. Sharkskin with just a hint of chafing occasional mild browning or foxing to leaves but QUITE A FINE COPY clean and fresh internally and the binding shining and unworn.<br/> <br/> Beautifully executed and wonderfully preserved this New Testament is an excellent example of the vermeil bindings--that is silver-gilt or gilded/gilt silver--produced in Switzerland and southern Germany during the Baroque period. As is typical this binding is without a hallmark but it closely resembles another New Testament bound in shagreen and vermeil described and pictured as item #14 in Hayward's "Silver Bindings from the J. R. Abbey Collection" which Hayward indicates was produced in Zurich in the early 18th century. These intricate silver bindings were popular for religious works presenting what Hayward calls a "combination of ostentatious wealth and piety" and this one was executed with great skill featuring graceful lines and delicately rendered details. There are two main types of silver bindings from the period: engraved and pierced bindings like the present example which were especially popular in the 17th century; and embossed or repoussé bindings which came into fashion in the late 17th and early 18th century. Of the two the engraved and pierced bindings are generally valued more highly because they required more time and skilled labor. David Gessner unknown

KIEßIG stamp-signed with his "K" mark at foot of lower cover upper covers lettered in blind lower cover with small round book stamp of former owner Martin Wandersleb smooth spines divided into panels by blind rules blind-stamped titling marbled endpapers leather hinges top edges black other edges untrimmed. In the original brown dust jackets with paper title labels to spines. Housed in the original slightly worn matching marbled paper slipcases. With titles and initials drawn by Anna Simons. Front pastedown with bookplate of Martin Wandersleb. Eyssen 88; Ransom p. 257. ◆One or two faint spots of foxing one small marginal smudge but A CHOICE COPY with no signs of use inside or out.<br/> <br/> This is a superb copy of the signal achievement of the Bremer Presse in a restrained but impressive binding produced by Berlin master bookbinder Werner G. Kießig. Printed on Zander handmade paper with a typeface specially cut by Louis Hoell and initials designed by Anna Simons this set was issued to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the completion of the Lutheran Bible. Rodenberg tells us that this work had for years been the highest goal of the press and Eyssen proclaims "a better and more textually reliable re-creation of this national monument is hardly conceivable." Colin Franklin noted in "The Private Presses" that the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz described the Bremer Presse as "the Queen of the Private Presses." According to Ransom the press offered the Bible in three different bindings: in boards for $310 in vellum for $420 and in morocco for $470. Because she was a woman Anna Simons 1871-1951 was barred from studying at the Prussian Arts and Crafts School so she travelled to England to learn from Edward Johnston at the Royal College of Art. Johnston's biographer Priscilla Johnston writes "She was one of the best students Johnston ever had and certainly one of those who exercised the greatest influence afterwards for she disseminated his teaching throughout Germany where it was perhaps more fruitful even than in England." She designed some 1400 initials and title pages for the Bremer Press. <br /> <br /> Binder Werner G. Kießig 1924-2014 apprenticed with German master binder Kurt Grünewald and studied with Bruno Scheer before attaining the rank of Meister in 1948. Although he lived in East Germany for much of his career his status as a master craftsman afforded him more freedom than usual--to exhibit internationally and to join organizations like Meister der Einbandkunst MDE and Designer Bookbinders. He was the preferred bookbinder for volumes produced by Wolfram Benda's Bear Press. From the 1970s on Kießig signed his bindings with the stamp of a "K" in a stylized book designed by Herbert Prüget.<br /> <br /> Our bindings also bear the stamp of former owner Martin Wandersleb 1924-2005 designed by Otto Rohse. The bookplate designed for this bibliophile and theologian by the artist Gerhard Marcks is on the front pastedown. This set was also part of the collection of Hamburg collector Barbara Achilles d. 2010 who put together an impressive library of private press books. Bremer Presse unknown
1843L3LFICT78EKXOahu and Honolulu: American Bible Society 1843. Later half calf. Large 8vo 24 x 14 cm. Including: Ke kauoha hou a ko kakou haku e ola'i a Iesu Kristo oia ka olelo hemolele no ke ola a na lunaolelo i kakau ai. Second edition of the entire Bible in the Hawaiian language but the first edition in octavo to be published in a single volume. The translation a joint effort of American missionaries and Hawaiian advisers was a monumental work of language and scholarship. "Neither of the two very different groups of people who produced the Baibala - the missionary scholars working with ancient texts and the Hawaiian chiefs and advisors guardians of a millennium of traditional Kanaka learning - could have produced even a pedestrian Bible translation on their own. Together through over a decade of incessant and mostly fruitful labor and cooperation they created a work for the ages among the best Bible translations of their century and an enduring literary monument today" Lyon.The first gospels in the Hawaiian language were printed in 1827-1828 ultimately leading to a complete translation of the New Testament in 1835 which was revised in 1837. The first translation of the Old Testament was published in 1838 and together with the 1837 New Testament incorporated in a complete edition of the Bible in three volumes. In 1843 these texts were reprinted with several mistakes corrected in a more compact version and then bound together to form this edition of the Bible. Apparently sales of the 10000 copies printed were slow with records showing that "between 400 and 600 Bibles were bound and presumably distributed each year" Forbes. This slow distribution could explain why no new edition of the complete Bible in Hawaiian appeared until 1868.With an 1853 owner's inscription on the title page. Slightly foxed and with several sections slightly browned; a very good copy.l Forbes 1416; Judd 165; Lyon "No ka Baibala Hemolele: The making of the Hawaiian Bible" in: Palapala I 2017 pp. 113-151.

1926ST20084Waltham St. Lawrence: Golden Cockerel Press 1926. No. 48 OF CLXXV COPIES. 258 x 195 mm. 10 1/4 x 7 3/4". 15 3 pp. <br/> Understated black crushed morocco by J. Franklin Mowery stamp-signed "JFM 94" on rear turn-in wraparound design of blind-stamped L-shaped panels of intersecting lines smooth spine with vertical gilt lettering leather hinges edges untrimmed. Original illustrated upper cover of dust jacket repaired at one corner bound in at rear. In a matching morocco-lipped slipcase. Title page with large woodcut of the risen Christ four large vignettes in the text four pictorial half borders and four full-page woodcuts all by David Jones printer's device in colophon. Front pastedown with bookplate of Jan van der Marck. Chanticleer 40. A pristine copy.<br/> <br/> This is a wonderfully--if understatedly--bound copy of one of the most strictly limited Golden Cockerel Press productions. The binding is the work of J. Franklin Mowery retired Head of Conservation at the Folger Shakespeare Library and past president of the Guild of Book Workers. Mowery studied bookbinding under Professor Kurt Londenberg at the Staatliche Hochschule für bildende Künste Academy of Art in Hamburg and trained as a paper conservator under Otto Wächter in Vienna before returning to the U.S. to work at the Huntington Library. According to his article "A Binder's Training" Guild of Book Workers' Journal XX 1981-82 the blind-stamping technique seen here was "particularly favored by Professor Londenberg" and often employed by Mowery for the range of design possibilities it offers. The method uses dies to stamp the patterns: "a photographic process can transfer any black and white image onto zinc plates that are deeply etched and mounted onto type-high metal blocks for heated impressions or onto wood for cold embossing." Mowery stated that lines of the design here represent the driving rain of the storm that struck Jonah's ship. Founded in 1920 with the intention to print fine editions of important well-known books as well as new literary works of merit from young authors the Golden Cockerel Press was purchased in 1924 by the illustrator and wood-engraver Robert Gibbings. "Under his direction" says Cave the Press was "transformed into the principal vehicle for the renaissance of wood-engraved book illustration that took place in the years between the wars." In addition to doing wood engravings himself Gibbings employed a stable of eminent artists including among others Eric Gill Blair Hughes-Stanton John Nash John Farleigh Eric Ravilious and David Jones. The memorable woodcuts are the work of Jones 1895-1974 who had a brief but impressive career as an illustrator before eye strain forced him to abandon engraving in 1930. In his published study of Jones' work Douglas Cleverdon says that in the short time Jones was engraving "he produced a remarkable amount of work of great variety; some witty some mystical; some boldly cut some delicately shaded; some simple to print some virtually impossible. Although he never attained . . . the greatest technical mastery in the conventional sense his prints are nearly always distinguished by their excellence of design personal commitment and absolute individuality." Our binding was commissioned by collector and self-described "radical" museum administrator Jan van der Marck 1929-2010 who championed artists that pushed boundaries--often to the consternation of the museum boards who employed him.

1827180737Paris: Darü't T baatü'l Mülkiyyeü'l Mamure 1827. The Old and New Testament in Ottoman Turkish First Ottoman Turkish edition of the Old and New Testaments together funded by the British and Foreign Bible Society and based on the translation made by Ali Ufki Bey d. 1675 an influential agent for European diplomats in 17th-century Turkey. We have only traced four institutional copies. Unusually the Ottoman text is fully vocalized. Ali Ufki Bey christened Wojchiech Bobowski was known in Europe as Albertus Bobovius. After his enslavement by the Tartars in the Ukraine he was forcibly converted to Islam and brought to Istanbul where he worked in the Ottoman palace for over two decades. The editor the famous Turcologist Jean-Daniel Kieffer d. 1833 had published a standalone Turkish edition of the New Testament in 1819 always with the British and Foreign Bible Society. Kieffer's starting point was Ali Ufki Bey's Ottoman Turkish text revised according to critical comments on the first edition of his New Testament. Kieffer also compared the Ottoman text "with the original texts as well as with the standard English French and German versions. W. Seaman's Nogai New Testament of 1666 T. Erpenius' Arabic version H. Martyn's Persian version H. Brunton's Nogai New Testament of 1813 and with the London Polyglot. On crucial questions he had the advice of Baron Silvestre de Sacy" Darlow & Moule. The present edition was printed in 5000 copies on the presses of the Louvre hence the "Royal Printing House" imprint. The same binding - arguably a publisher's binding - is found on another copy of this edition. 2 vols in one large quarto 257 x 222 mm pp. ii 984; ii 3 i 318. Titles within double typographical ruling. Contemporary Ottoman Turkish brown sheep blind stamped to a panel design arabesque cornerpieces on inner corners large arabesque centrepieces flat spine triple blind ruled gilt lettered title. 20th-century inked and pencilled Ottoman Turkish annotations on pastedowns and first title. Spine and extremities refurbished boards a bit rubbed contents slightly toned but overall clean a little light marginal water staining along outer edge of initial gatherings: a very good copy.
