Het leer op de rug en de voorplat van de band licht beschadigd het boekblok komt in het midden van de band iets naar voren. Staphorster kettingbijbel met daarin het Oude en Nieuwe Testament de Psalmen en Gezangen en de Formulieren. Band gebonden in zwart leer voorzien van zilverwerk en een vergulde snede. Bijgebonden zijn paginagrootte bijbels prenten. Opvallend daarnaast zijn de dikke en zware zilveren ketting en de zware zilveren sloten. De vier hoeken en de kettingklampen zijn voorzien van afbeeldingen van lezende personen de sloten met Mozes en Aäron. In de binnenzijde van het bovenste slot zijn de letters G.E.D. gegraveerd in het onderste slot staat het jaar 1785. Het zilverwerk op kerkboeken diende als statussymbool aan de band kon men de stand en rijkdom van een kerkganger aflezen. De Staphorster Bijbels werden vaak aan een koord of aan een ketting gedragen en behoorden bij de streekdracht voor de zondag. De zware zilveren ketting van dit exemplaar geeft aan dat deze het eigendom was van een vermogend persoon de mindere stand droeg de Bijbel aan een blauw koord of in geval van rouw een zwart koord. Contemporary Leather with 6 raised bands 2 silver clasps 8 silver corner-pieces 2 silver chain holders with a ca. 075 meters long silver chain gilt-edged and gauffered text block 8° H. 18 x L. 12 x W. 7 cm. The leather on the spine and the front cover of the binding is slightly damaged and the book block is slightly forward in the middle of the binding. So-called ""Staphorster chain bible"" containing the Old and New Testament the Psalms and Hymns and the Forms interleaved with page-size Biblical prints. Attractive binding bound in black gauffered leather decorated with silver and gilt-edged text block. Remarkable on this copy are the thick and heavy silver chain and the heavy silver clasps. The four corners and the chain holders are decorated with images of reading people the locks with Moses and Aaron. On the inside of the upper lock are the letters G.E.D. engraved in the lower lock the year 1785. The silver work on church books was seen as a status symbol; the binding showed the social class and wealth of a churchgoer. The Staphorst Bibles were often worn around the wrist on a rope or chain and belonged to the traditional costume for Sunday. The heavy silver chain of this copy points out that it was the property of a wealthy person; the lower class wore the Bible on a blue rope or in the case of mourning a black rope.

149521234141495. Venice: Paganino Paganini. 18 April 1495. Folio. 16th-century vellum over boards manuscript title in ink to spine; ff. 237-470 gg1-kkk8 only of 1512 Gothic type 83 lines of gloss woodcut in-text illustrations first initial of text ""T"" in red and blue and heightened with gilt rubricated in red throughout; binding a little stained head of spine worn with traces of glue joints splitting but holding firm early stitched repair to lower cover; occasional mostly marginal dampstaining light variable spotting but generally a very good clean copy; early ink ownership inscription ""Hic Liber est conventus Sancte Catherine de neapoli ordinis pre: read: praedicatorum congregationis Lombardiae"" and shelfmark to final verso see below.The second part only of four of an important incunable edition of the Bible containing Nicholas of Lyra's commentaries on Jerome Brito on Joshua through to the Book of Hester with contemporary rubrication.Paganino Paganini's comprehensive edition of the Bible combines the usual Glossa Ordinaria - including commentaries of Walafrid Strabo Anselm of Laon and William Brito - with the Postillae of Nicolaus of Lyra. Earlier Bible editions had contained one or the other but this was the first to unite both establishing a new editorial model soon imitated by other presses.The text edited by Bernardinus Gadolus Eusebius Hispanus and Secundus Contarenus is laid out in the manner of a legal text with multiple glossing layers and marginal apparatus. According to Paganino's own account the production of this edition cost him a total of 4000 ducats a conspicuous sum though this may be ""an exaggeration"" Bajetta pp. 3-4.Provenance: From the library of the Dominican convent of Santa Caterina a Formiello in Naples. Originally linked to the Celestine order the convent passed to friars of the Observant Dominican Congregation of Lombardy in 1499. It remained active until 1806 when it was expropriated and eventually converted into a wool factory: likely the period when its library was dispersed.ISTC ib00608000.

The manuscript was copied out twenty years prior to the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492 by Moshe Ibn Zabara and Yosef Ibn Chaim containing the entire Tanak together with the Radak commentary and Sefer HaMichlol. It is known as the "Kennicott Bible" after Benjamin Kennicot 1718-1783 the English clergyman and Hebraist who acquired the manuscript for Oxford University. An exceptionally beautiful facsimile five and a half years in the making it is printed on deluxe paper stock intended to reproduce the appearance of the original vellum. The gold highlights in the facsimile illustrations were applied by hand. The commentary by Bezalel Narkiss and Aliza Cohen-Mushlin provides a scholarly yet approachable historical context and artistic appreciation.

elala5475Paris: British & Foreign Bible Society at the Imprimérie Royale 1827. First Edition of the complete Bible in Ottoman Turkish the chief language of European and Asiatic Turkey and the official language of the Turkish Empire. The translation was undertaken in the 17th century by Wojciech Bobowski a Polish convert to Islam known as Ali Bey chief translator to Sultan Muhammad IV at the instigation of Levin Warner then Dutch Ambassador at Constantinople. It is apparently based upon a French protestant version. The New Testament from his manuscript held by Leyden University was edited by Heinrich Friedrich Diez former Russian Ambassador at Constantinople and further revised and edited by French Oriental scholar Jean Daniel Kieffer 1767-1832 before being printed in Paris in 1819. In 1820 Kieffer became the first Agent of the British and Foreign Bible Society in France and in the same year began a thorough revision of Ali Bey's translation of the Old and New Testaments. The complete Bible without the Apocrypha was published in 1827 in an edition of 5000 copies together with a further 2000 copies of the New Testament on its own.

This copy formerly in the Shirburn Castle library of The Earl of Macclesfield their North Library bookplate marked '1.H.57'. In 2006 sold at Sothebys London 11 April 2006 lot 2312. <br/><br/>Fifth folio edition of the Latin Bible as Biblia Utriusque Testamenti published by Robert Estienne 15031559 in 1556 but with the original edition of the new Latin translation and commentary on the New Testament by Theodore Beza 15191605; notably this edition appeared contemporaneously with the printing of John Calvins Psalms Commentary. Theodore Beza a French Reformed Protestant theologian and Calvinist produced one Latin and four Greek-Latin editions of the New Testament in his lifetime working carefully through extant Greek manuscript sources. Estiennes great glossed Latin Bible of 1556/57 thus contained the translation of the Old Testament by Dominican philologist Sante Pagnini or Pagninus 14701536 first printed in 1528. Based on the Hebrew Pagninis text is in the center of each page and Bezas translation from the Greek is in smaller type to the side with commentary and alternate readings underneath. The Estienne-Beza Latin Bible with its copious notes and ties to Calvinist theology was of considerable importance in the early modern era. The 20 woodcut biblical illustrations were first used in an Estienne edition of the Bible printed in Paris in 1540. This copy beautifully bound in a Dutch vellum enjoyed placement in one of the finest libraries in Britain from around the mid-18th century. See also Renouard 'Estienne' p. 87; cf.

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