The fine engraved frontispiece is made by Jan Wierix 1549-1918 and shows the Israelites Crossing the River Jordan transporting the Ark of the Covenant as described in Joshua 3:13-17.The Biblia Regia – so called because it was financed by the king of Spain Philip II – was published by Christopher Plantin 1520–89. It comprises eight volumes with parallel texts in Hebrew Greek Chaldean and Latin translations and was a great achievement by the Plantin firm. It took five years between 1568 and 1573 to produce and it was printed in 1200 copies on four different kinds of paper and 12 copies on vellum. Several of the 1200 copies were however lost at sea on route from the Netherlands to Spain Bekka p. 16. The chief editor of the Polyglot and also acting as the Philip’s orthodox supervisor was the polymath Benito Arias Montano 1527-98 and among his chief assistants were Plantin’s son-in-law and successor Franciscus Raphelengius and several other orientalists. Theologians at the University of Louvain assisted by comparing numerous manuscripts and printed editions to determine what the correct text for the Bible should be. Because of it its high production costs its demands on typographical expertise its concentration of scholarly and editorial skills it is considered one of the greatest single printing enterprises of the sixteenth century.

Minor tear to tail of spine to part one. Five volumes. From the library of Ericsberg with its book plate. An engraved frontispiece sometimes present is not in this copy. Darlow and Moule 4239. The famous Berlenburg bible is a new German translation edited by the learned pietist Johann Friedrich Haug and other scholars with â€strong mystical symphaties†Darlow and Moule. Bad Berlenburg had thanks to Casimir Graf von Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berlenburg become a refuge center for radical pietists like the brothers Haug and thanks to them Berlenburg soon also became the publishing center for the so called â€German Philadelphian Movementâ€. One of the brothers Johann Jacob Haug was a publisher and printer and another Johann Friedrich was a theologist and orientalist. Their goal was to produce a Bible based on the original texts with explanatory notes and comments and for that reason Haug enlisted the support of academics in several European countries and he worked on the project for almost 20 years. The result become a monument of the German 'Philadelphian Movement' and the bible influenced radical pietist esoteric and others. The agent for its sale in America Christopher Sauer used the text as a model for the first German-American Bible 1743 when his supply was exhausted. hardcover
12378Paris 1200. <p> Compiled in the early 12th century at the cathedral school at Laon the Glossa ordinaria quickly became THE FOUNDATIONAL TEXT OF BIBLICAL EXEGESIS IN THE LATIN WEST: "by 1200 copies of the Gloss were in practically every library in Europe" De Hamel. This fragment includes portions of the gloss to 1 Kings Chapters 7 and 8 likely compiled by Gilbert the Universal d. 1134 who studied with Anselm of Laon d. 1117 before becoming bishop of London in 1128.<br /> The first leaf contains the text of 1 Kings 7: 23-25 written in a larger size and mostly squeezed into a narrow column to the left of both text blocks. The gloss two lines of which correspond to one line of the biblical text is in ten separate sections carefully distributed on the page so that they are adjacent to the scriptural passage commented upon. The two gloss sections that continue from recto to verso are marked with MATCHING TIE-MARKS TO AID THE READER. The gloss on the second leaf in five sections accompanies the text of 1 Kings 8: 65-66 on the recto. The text of 1 Kings 9: 1-9 follows extending from recto to verso without gloss.<br /> Some four centuries after its production this bifolium was removed from its codicological context folded inside out and wrapped around the boards of a German account book whose title is still visible on the recto of the second leaf: Urbarien über Bestreiten. The vellum portion once covering the spine bears the docketing numbers 40 and II suggesting the account book was part of a series.<br /> In nice condition the surface constituting the outer side of the binding worn and rubbed minor worm damage affecting a dozen letters.</p> unknown
