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.

Preserved in a protective cloth case. Suitable for exhibition and study. OF SIGNAL IMPORTANCE IN THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH RESTORATION BOOKBINDING: AN UNRECORDED AND UNPUBLISHED BINDING BY "OWEN" WHOSE WORK IS KNOWN FROM ONLY ONE OTHER EXAMPLE.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.

Salamanca Gasparem à Portonariis suis & Gulielmi Rouillij Benedictique Boierij expensis 1584-1585. 3 tomos en un volumen.

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.

1587ST14247Venetiis Venice: Hieronymus Polus 1587. 213 x 146 mm. 8 3/8 x 5 5/8". 12 p.l. 1126 pp. <br/> ESPECIALLY PLEASING CONTEMPORARY CALF covers with gilt French fillet frame and oval wreath of olive branches the center of the wreath in the shape of a cross flat spine ruled in gilt red morocco label. 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.

Title and first table printed in red and black text in two columns with printed marginalia indices and summary in 3 columns. Colophon on fol. RR4v. Publisher’s woodcut device Baudrier no. 2 on title and final verso full-page woodcut showing the six days of Creation within ornamental border historiated woodcut initials throughout; red paragraph marks to opening page and red highlighting to the facing woodcut. Mainly faint marginal dampstain in upper margins light discoloration to outer margins. Contemporary Flemish blind-tooled calf over wooden boards sides with leafy roll-tool border enclosing central panel with intersecting triple fillets forming a saltire design the compartments filled with a repeated foliate tool arranged symmetrically one of two fore-edge clasps two catches; many deckle edges preserved worn a few small chips to leather pastedown endpapers renewed. Provenance: early ownership inscriptions on title: Mrr Cornelius Adamus ter Borch; and Siba Lÿken; contemporary marginal notes and some text markings crosses in margins and underlinings in first few books Genesis-Deuteronomy; abundant 17th and/or 18th-century philological annotations in Genesis and Exodus and in the indices including full page of notes on blank page 2E5v.<br /> <br /> A complete portable Bible printed in very small types containing an ample scholarly apparatus and finding aids for the use of theology students and scholars; this copy with contemporary annotations and in a contemporary blind-tooled calf binding probably Flemish. This compact glossed Bible densely and economically printed with no break between the Old and New Testaments is enlivened by hundreds of historiated woodcut initials from woodcut alphabets designed by Guillaume Leroy who also designed the six-part full-page woodcut of the Creation. <br /> <br /> Mareschal’s useful “pocket†Bibles were bestsellers this being the fourth of six octavo editions from his press. 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.

618-Eo.J. Feder in Grau, über Bleistift, grau laviert, mit gezeichneter Umrandung, auf cremefarbenem Velin. 20,1:24,1 cm. - Mit leichten Altersspuren. Provenienz: Sammlung Fürst Leopold I. von Anhalt-Dessau, Lugt 1708b; Sammlung Elsa Hauser, erworben 26.6.56 (Notiz auf alter Unterlage). Bildhaft ausgeführte Zeichnung! Obgleich nicht signiert, zeigt die Darstellung unzweifelhaft den frühen, stark nazarenisch geprägten Stil des Zeichners. In Form eines dreiteiligen Flügelaltars mit sparsamen gotischen Zierformen angelegt, ist die Komposition der Szenen sehr sorgfältig gestaltet und zeichnerisch fein ausgeführt. Die Ikonographie ist indessen sehr selten und gerade für einen Altar völlig unüblich, wird hier doch der junge Jesus bei der Ausführung mehrerer unterschiedlicher Arbeiten gezeigt, natürlich immer in symbolischer Überhöhung- profane Tätigkeiten, denen eine heilsgeschichtliche Sinnhaftigkeit unterlegt ist. In der Mitte Christus als Gärtner beim Blumengießen (das Gedeihen der geistlichen Saat), links, mit seinem Ziehvater Joseph, beim Tragen von Brettern (die Kreuzigung vorwegnehmend), rechts beim Wasserschöpfen, während seine Mutter Maria in einem Buch liest (wohl das Wasser des Lebens im Paradies andeutend).

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.'

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."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 "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.USTC 145003; Adams B-997; Pettegree & Walsby French Vernacular Books III: 57271.

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.

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

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.
