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.

1855313594New York: American Bible Society 1855. Royal 8vo. Bound in full contemporary morocco a.e.g. With "S. Augusta Brown" 1825-1909 stamped in gilt on the upper cover. With two examples of embroidered Berlin wool work laid in one with initals "SAB Oct. 29 1859" and the other an alter scene. Royal 8vo. The bible of Sophia Augusta Brown 1825-1909 wife of John Carter Brown herself an active bibliophile who helped her husband build his library and oversaw its stewardship after his death. Sophia Augusta was 34 and John Carter Brown 61 when they married after a brief courtship on June 23 1859. That event is recorded in the family record between the Old and New Testaments as are the births and marriages of the couple's three children--John Nicholas Brown Harold Brown and Sophia Augusta--the marriages of the two sons and the death of John Carter Brown "dearly loved Husband & Father" on June 10 1874. The younger Sophia Augusta Brown married banker and businessman William Watts Sherman 1842-1912 whose Newport RI house is an architectural landmark.<br /> <br /> The daughter of Patrick Browne an Anglo-Irish jurist and member of Her Majesty's Council of the Bahamas and Harriet Thayer of Providence a direct descendant of Roger Williams Sophia Augusta Brown was "an indomitable force in an era when women were discovering a role for themselves in the charitable sector . For Sophia Augusta perpetuating her husband's mission through the sound management and enhancement of his collection was her way of contributing to the advancement of knowledge and understanding among peoples . From her sons' earliest age Sophia Augusta ensured they would develop an appreciation for the care condition and housing of books . John Nicholas and Harold often accompanied their mother to booksellers and private collectors. At an early age they were shown priceless works: a Columbus letter the papers of Leonardo daVinci a note by Galileo . On his trips to Europe as an adult John Nicholas was expected to report back . with his assessment of the books he encountered . When he turned 22 in 1883 Sophia Augusta entrusted him with the care of the library" Sylvia Brown Grappling with Legacy: Rhode Island's Brown Family and the American Philanthropic Impulse 2017. While her husband was still alive Sophia Augusta oversaw the construction in 1862 of the fireproof library wing in the Nightingale-Brown House which remained the site of the library until it was relocated to its current home at Brown University at the impetus of John Nicholas Brown's will.

The grand biblical story from the Seven Days of Creation to the Vision of a New Jerusalem here unfolds in 836 beautifully engraved plates. The designs were chiefly drawn by Johann Jacob von Sandrart 1655-1698 and Georg Christoph Eimmart the Younger 1638-1705. The engravings were made by Elias Christian Heiss J. U. Kraus L. Heckenauer and Weigel himself among others. Weigel had earlier collaborated with J. J. von Sandrart on the Passio Domini Nostri Iesu Christi Neo-coelatis Iconibus Expressa Augsburg 1693 a pictorial Gospel harmony depicted in 100 engraved plates.<br /> <br /> Christoph Weigel first trained as a goldsmith and later apprenticed to his cousin Erhart Weigel a famous instrument maker in Jena. He journeyed to Augsburg in 1693 where he learned the art of engraving from Andreas Wolfgang and later from Matthäus Küsel. His published works tended to serve didactic and edification purposes including illustrated chronicles and a compendium of notable political events of the early eighteenth century. Among his notable cartographic works is the Descriptio orbis antiqui in XLIV tabulis exhibita A Description of the Ancient World in 44 Maps - Nürnberg 1720. <br /> <br /> The Biblia Ectypa was first published in a large folio format at Augsburg in 1695 with four engraved plates appearing on each leaf. In 1697 the plates were re-issued at Regensburg in two formats: a smaller oblong folio with two plates per leaf and a quarto with a single plate per leaf. Wildly successful the Biblia Ectypa enabled Weigel to establish his own print publishing company in Nürnberg where he was soon joined by his younger brother Johann Christoph Weigel and worked closely with the prominent map publisher Johann Baptist Homann.<br /> <br /> Annotations: Plates numbered by hand in black ink at top corner though sometimes slightly out of order with occasional corrrections in the first two volumes. An old German hand has noted a correct count for each volume at the rear endleaf e.g. Enthält 288 Küpfern.<br /> <br /> A notably complete set of this uncommon edition lacking only the fourth title page. The total count of 836 engraved illustrations is confirmed via the online catalogue Das Verzeichnis der im deutschen Sprachraum erschienenen Drucke des 17. Jahrhunderts VD17.

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.

187642309Hartford Connecticut: American Publishing Company 1876. 4to. 9 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches. 2 892 pp. Old Testament; 276 pp. New Testament. Original publisher’s brown pebble-grain cloth blind stamped boards spine and upper cover lettered in gilt<br/> <br/> First edition of the first complete English Bible translated by a woman a touchstone of American printing feminism and religious scholarship in the original publisher's binding.<br/> <br/> Born in Glastonbury Connecticut in 1792 Julia Evelina Smith taught herself Latin Greek Hebrew and French while earning a living as a schoolteacher and later as an outspoken abolitionist and suffragist. In 1843 she began to test the English Bible against the originals and soon resolved as she writes in her preface "to put the same English word for the same Hebrew or Greek word everywhere.It may seem presumptuous for an ordinary woman with no particular advantages of education to translate and publish alone the most wonderful book that has ever appeared in the world.It took me about seven years to accomplish the five translations." Working verse by verse Smith produced five complete drafts twice from Greek twice from Hebrew once from Latin finishing in 1855. When commercial publishers declined to issue so unconventional a text she underwrote the project herself consigning it to Hartford's American Publishing Company in the nation's centennial year. The resulting volume is the first complete English Bible translated by a woman and remains the only one executed single-handedly without editorial committee or co-translator. Smith's method is uncompromisingly literal: Hebrew tense shifts and Greek word order are preserved even when the English prose becomes rugged. The translation therefore offers modern readers an unfiltered view of the underlying languages and stands in pointed contrast to the smoother interpretive revisions then underway in Britain and America. Earlier centuries had seen only partial female forays into Scripture such as Anne Locke's 1560 sonnet-cycle on Psalm 51 and the Countess of Pembroke's masterly completion of the Sidney Psalter after her brother's death but none covered the full canon. Smith's 1876 Bible stands today as both a landmark of American print culture and a quiet declaration of intellectual equality.<br/> <br/> Simms The Bible in America pp. 149-50; Stanton The Woman's Bible p. 151; Notable American Women 1607-1950: A Biographical Dictionary.

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 <br />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. This edition includes the famous woodcut of Ezekiels Vision and the various views and implements of Solomons Temple which were first printed by Koberger in 1481 with the complete commentary. This copy in an early German binding has a monastic provenance at Banz Abbey. ISTC ib00614000. Anton Koberger hardcover
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.

1599146373London: Deputies of Christopher Barker 1599; London: Robert Barker 1636. Rare "Breeches" Bible printed by Christopher Barker with the fictitious 1599 publication date. "There are many editions bearing this date which while agreeing closely are yet distinct . the phenomena of the various editions described under the year 1599 and the very similar edition of 1633 constitute one of the most curious problems in the bibliography of the English Bible." Genesis 3:7 with "Then the eyes of them both were opened and they knew that they were naked and they sewed figge tree leaves together and made themselves breeches." Octavo two volumes bound into one in full paneled calf hand-embossing to the front and rear panels original silk and cloth ribbons woodcut title pages and initials. Bound with The Booke of Common Prayer and the Administration of the Sacraments and Other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church of England printed by Robert Barker in 1636. In good condition rebacked contemporary names and inscriptions to several pages. A very rare and desirable example of the Breeches Bible. Upon Queen Mary’s accession in 1553 “publication of the English Bible ceased in England. Many Protestants who fled to the Continent were attracted to Calvin’s Geneva. Among these exiles were eminent English Bible scholars who began work on a new translation†The Bible: 100 Landmarks 62. First published in 1560 the Geneva Bible—often called the “Breeches Bible†for its unique rendering of Genesis 3:7—was “more scholarly than any previous translation… It achieved immediate popularity and exerted an extremely powerful influence… The Geneva Version included prefaces maps and tables; and for the first time in an English Bible the verses were divided and numbered… It has been more properly called the Elizabethan family Bible since it was this version which was the first to enter the English home†PMM 83. “It became the textus receptus for the Puritan element in England. It was read by Shakespeare Bunyan and the soldiers of the Civil War and is thus of cardinal importance for its influence on the English language literature and thought†Great Books and Book Collectors 105-8.

OF SIGNAL IMPORTANCE IN THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH RESTORATION BOOKBINDING: AN UNRECORDED AND UNPUBLISHED BINDING BY "OWEN" WHOSE WORK IS KNOWN FROM ONLY ONE OTHER EXAMPLE. <br /> <br /> In terms of 17th-century English bindings this one in particular is of particular significance: the only other binding by "Owen" is in the Henry Davis Gift British Library. Howard Nixon English Restoration Bookbindings p. 37 and plate 78 describes it in some detail: "It has been stated earlier that signatures on painted fore-edges followed by the word 'fecit' in the seventeenth century are those of binders or booksellers for whom the books were bound. The book in the Henry Davis Gift with the edges signed 'Owen fecit' and dated 1672 is a possible exception to this rule as Owen cannot be traced. The tools used on this book have not however been identified elsewhere." Our binding is far more elaborate the that in the Henry Davis Gift as it features a total of 26 onlays red and citron all elaborately gilt. The Davis Gift example is bound in a single piece of black goatskin. Due to the extensive and complex gold tooling the present binding was not easily attributable to a known workshop but it is now clear that all four major tools on it are identical to those on the "Owen" binding in the Davis Gift see Mirjam Foot Henry Davis Gift vol. II no. 115 with full-page reproduction. While the fore-edge of our binding is worn the word "Search the Scriptures" is just visible alongside depictions of flowers. <br /> <br /> Provenance: inscribed on recto of third blank leaf "John Pounds Carter 1864 bequeathed to him by his aunt Phoebe who died July 14th 1852." This individual was almost certainly the same JPC who was born in Southwark London in 1821 and died in Lambeth London in 1896. Tipped onto the first blank is a small handwritten note which describes this as a "very fine binding by Samuel Mearne." <br /> <br /> References: Ad 1 Bible: Darlow/Moule 539 British and Foreign Bible Society copy lacks the Psalms altogether.

La Biblia de Salamanca con la traducción y notas de Francisco Vatablo publicada por primera vez en París en 1545 e impresa en España en 1554 con atribución a fray Domingo de Soto de la revisión del texto prohibida y mandada retirar por la Inquisición entre los años 1554 y 1559 pero que finalmente pudo ser publicada en Salamanca en 1584. Se conoce como <em>Biblia de Vatablo</em> a la edición preparada por Robert Estienne de la versión <em>Vulgata</em> de las Sagradas Escrituras junto con la traducción latina de Sanctes Pagnino y las anotaciones y correcciones de François Vatable profesor de hebreo del Collège de France; fue impresa en París en 1545. Se trata de una Biblia única ya que contiene 2 textos en latín de la Sagrada Escritura y no uno como es común. A la primera traducción se la denomina como la traducción vieja y se trata de la primera traducción de la Biblia realizada al latín desde el hebreo y griego llamada <em>Vulgata</em>; la segunda traducción se la denomina como traducción nueva y contiene las ideas renacentistas. Ambas traducciones confrontan el pensamiento de la <em>Vulgata</em> y las correcciones de ésta entre lo antiguo y lo nuevo. La primera impresión de la Biblia de Vatablo en España fue realizada en 1554 por Andrea de Portonaris en Salamanca; fue considerada ilegal un año más tarde y se dice de ella que no hay ejemplar conocido. Esta segunda impresión de 1584 la única que pudo ver la luz fue publicada después de ser cuidadosamente revisada y expurgada por la Inquisición y un grupo de teólogos de la universidad de Alcalá llamados los <em>hebraizantes</em> a los que le costó la cárcel y la muerte y entre los que se encontraba Fray Luis de León. Esta Biblia editada por Gaspar de Portonaris hermano del impresor de la primera y desconocida primera versión comenzó su andadura en 1569 en un proceso de más de 100 juntas reuniendo a gran número de teólogos y que se extendió por varios años. Contiene para el Antiguo Testamento la versión de San Jerónimo y Pagnini y para el Nuevo Testamento la versión de San Jerónimo y la traducción de Erasmo junco con ciertas revisiones de Teodoro de Beza. Durante los debates hubo momentos de mucha tensión. Especialmente furibundos fueron los enfrentamientos entre Fray Luis de León profesor de Teología Prima y León de Castro profesor de Griego experto acusador de judíos y judaizantes y abiertamente enemigo de todo aquello que tuviera que ver con los textos en hebreo donde las amenazas con denunciarse mutuamente ante el Tribunal del Santo Oficio fueron constantes durante estos años de deliberaciones. En las juntas se enfrentaron dos tendencias irreconciliables lo que iba a desencadenar las persecución de los hebraístas. Finalmente Fray Luis de León y sus otros compañeros hebraístas fueron llevados ante la Inquisición encarcelados y llevados a juicio. Es precisamente durante este largo cautiverio cuando Fray Luis realiza algunas traducciones de libros y escribe varias poesías y una de sus obras más significativas<em> De los nombres de Cristo</em>. Finalmente en 1575 el Tribunal reconociendo el valor y la energía impuesta por Fray Luis en su defensa oral le creyó exento de toda culpa y sospecha.

Title page with elaborate wood-engraved frame text profusely illustrated WITH 600 WOOD ENGRAVINGS depicting scenes from scripture after Holbein Bernard Salomon le Petit Bernard and others a handful of these a bit indistinct. Front pastedown with ex-libris of Leonis S. Olschki. Adams B-1093; STC Italian 93. Not in Darlow & Moule. ◆A little wear to joints and extremities spine a bit crackled separation at hinges but no looseness occasional minor browning or foxing otherwise in remarkably fine condition the text clean and crisp and in a still-lustrous entirely solid unsophisticated original binding.<br/> <br/> This is a very well-preserved handsomely bound and lavishly illustrated edition with distinguished provenance of the Louvain Bible first printed in Venice in 1578. Our edition contains 600 wood engravings illustrating the text ranging from portraits of prophets saints and evangelists to dramatic scenes from the histories of the Old Testament and the life of Christ and ending with an imaginative Apocalypse cycle. Many of these are the work of Lyonnaise artist Bernard Salomon 1506-61 known by the sobriquet "Le Petit Bernard" for his small engravings rich with detail. Others are based on the biblical woodcuts of Hans Holbein. The binding here is likely French; the flat spine with just one large gilt-framed panel and the olive branch decoration on the covers is characteristic of late 16th century and early 17th century French work. The exceptional condition here is typical of books from the collection of Leo Samuel Olschki 1861-1940 scion of a family of Prussian Jewish printers whose interest in printing history led to his becoming a celebrated antiquarian bookseller author founder of the journal "The Bibliophile" and publisher of works in the humanities.

They were among the first Bible editions to include a rhyming mnemonic Biblical summary by the minorite friar Franciscus Gothi in which each four-line verse summarizes a Biblical chapter. Occupying here the final two quires and called for in the colophon it is not recorded by Baudrier or Gültlingen. Possibly buyers had the choice of including it or not in their copies. Otherwise the text of Mareschal’s octavo Bibles follows that of the Bible printed in Basel in 1509 by Johann Petri and Froben using the text edited by the Dominican Alberto Castellano and supplying for the first time marginal notes citing canon law. The apparatus includes four tables and a glossary of Hebrew names. As in the Petri editions a six-line commendatory poem by Matthias Sambucellus is printed on the title here with the first word of the last line incorrectly given as “Omne†instead of “Omine.â€<br /> <br /> The publisher Simon Vincent belonged to Lyon’s powerful booksellers' guild the Compagnie des Libraires whose members helped Mareschal during his early years impressed by his skill conscientiousness and sobriety â€a rare trait among printers of this period†notes Baudrier qualities which contrasted markedly with those of the printer Michel Topie whose press Mareschal had acquired in 1512 Baudrier 11:383.<br /> <br /> USTC 145003; Adams B-997; Pettegree & Walsby French Vernacular Books III: 57271.

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.

Commonly known as the 'Anti-Luther Bibel' Dietenberger's translation was the standard Catholic German translation of the Counter-Reformation and well into the 17th century. 'Johannes Dietenberger ca. 1475–1537 native of Frankfurt am Main university-trained Doctor of Theology and Dominican friar served as prior in Frankfurt and Koblenz during the 1525 Urban Revolt of the German Peasants’ War and the early Protestant Reformation respectively. Like Martin Luther Dietenberger translated the Bible into the vernacular German after consulting recently published Greek and Hebrew biblical texts; however unlike Luther he produced a translation that remained true to the Latin Vulgate and the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church. Dietenberger aimed to counter those parts of Luther’s translation which contradicted Catholic tradition and at the same time to provide a translation whose language was less coarse and offensive.'

Issued by the command of Frederik II this monumental Bible represents the second complete Danish Bible in folio format and is notably the first Danish folio Bible printed by a Dane. It stands as the magnum opus of Mads Vingaard and “and the most extensive work of printing undertaken in Denmark during the sixteenth century. The book is profusely illustrated with woodcuts copied from a german Bible issued by Sigmund Feyerabend in Frankfurt a. M. 1560. The original woodcuts were made by the artist and craftsman Virgil Solis. Wide woodcut borders together with pictures using themes from the Scriptures surround the title pages and the illustrations. On the reverse of the first title page many copies have pasted in a portrait of Frederich II engraved by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius. However this portrait may also be found on a separate leaf." Thesaurus I. A monumental production both typographically and artistically the Frederik II Bible marks the consolidation of Reformation scripture in Denmark-Norway and reflects the growing technical and artistic sophistication of the Copenhagen press. Its scale and royal patronage place it among the most important achievements of Scandinavian Renaissance book culture. Lauritz Nielsen 405. - Thesaurus I 129. - Birkelund 34. </em> hardcover
