1840180962Paihia: Church Missionary Society Press 1840. First Te Reo Maori edition of The Book of Daniel and The Book of Jonah the second expanded issue with the addition of the seventh book of Daniel published by William Colenso 1811-1899 on the Church Missionary Society Press. The press was the second to arrive in Aotearoa in December 1834 and printed many important documents including the Treaty of Waitangi also printed in 1840. This edition was printed by William Colenso 1811-1899 an Anglican missionary and publisher from Penzance Cornwall also notable for his contributions to botany in New Zealand. Colenso famously recorded the speeches performed at the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi and would criticize the new government for taking advantage of language barriers to progress colonial interests. Colenso had little interest in government printing jobs recording in his diary "In January '40 H.M.S. Herald arrived in the Bay of Islands bringing Capt. Hobson R.N. who was our first Governor. Immediately on his arrival my hands were full to overflowing with extra printing for the new Govt. and that too in the English language for which I had no type cases and was therefore obliged to have the additional "sorts" of letters in little piles on tables and boxes and even on the floor" Manuscript at The National Library Wellington. This book is also notable as an early example of Te Reo Maori in print which was an almost entirely oral language before the 19th century. As the bibliographer Herbert Williams writes "the books printed for Maori particularly those which appealed to Maori most strongly were used and perished in the using." While early Bible translations in Te Reo Maori are often credited to Colenso Herbert Williams says that W. G. Puckey 1805-1878 made these translations stating that the original manuscript for this pamphlet was "dated 1836 at which date Colenso would hardly have been competent for the task" and that after inspecting the manuscript Puckey's son was confident it was in his father's handwriting. As well as being a skilled linguist Puckey was also an accomplished boatbuilder and carpenter who oversaw the construction of many early buildings in the Northland region. Provenance: Stephen C.

008638LONDON AND NEW YORK: CASSELL PETTER AND GALPIN. 1st Edition . Full Morocco. Fine/No Jacket. Elephant Folio - over 15 - 23" tall. GUSTAVE DORE. This magnificent 2 volume set of the Gustave Dore-illustrated Holy Bible is copiously illustrated with 238 original illustrations as called for. The edition corresponds to Dan Malan's catalogue "Adrift On Dreams of Splendor" as the 1867 first book form edition using the same sheets as the magazine edition with all engravings in the right order. The book is bound in contemporary full morocco heavily embellished with blind and gilt motifs to front and rear boards and with Dore's name in gilt at the base of each spine. Burnished marbled endpapers all edges in lustrous gilt. The condition of the binding is very good with only a few marks and a some small scuffs to the top edge of the boards slight bumping to top corners and some slight wear to the front joint on Vol 1 as well as three cup rings in the central panel of the front board but not too bad. The condition of the pages is equally very good. Generally bright and clean though with foxing to the prelims of Vol 1 Genesis to Lamentations and with some foxing to the margins of some engravings - a small minority. Vol 2 Ezekiel to Revelation has a closed tear to the bottom of approx 2.5 cm / 1 inch with a neat archival tape repair. This book includes The Apocrypha. The Gustave Dore Bible is a highly collectable work and they are unusual to find in this very good condition. The register of Marriages Births and Deaths is empty which means it could be used as a family bible. This one of the better condition Dore Bibles I have seen in early edition in Very Good condition. Later editions had a reduced number of engravings since some were considered too lurid for polite Victorian tastes. A lovely piece of history. 39cm tall 33cm wide across the boards Vol 1 9cm thick Vol 2 7.5cm thick. These books weigh around 25 kilos when packed.

Contemp. calf spines in 6 compartments with 2 labels some skilful repairs to corners and spine ends somewhat rubbed. Zurich Conrad Orell and Comp. 1755-56. First edition of the so-called "Ulrich-Bibel" an important new version of the Zurich bible. The editor was pastor at Grossmüster and was close to Pietism. This edition is one of the most carefully edited Bibles and comes with regard to the beauty of the printing close to that of Froschauer's publication. The text is based on the 1667 and 1724 editions; it was revised and adapted to the more wide-spread use of modern high German. Johann Caspar Ulrich 1705-1768 was in charge under the supervision of the Church Council. In the "Kurze Anzeige" at the beginning Johann Konrad Nüscheler gives a bibliography of Zurich bibles. Together with Johann Rudolf Ziegler he was also involed in the text revision. Illustrations were not originally planned but since many buyers regretted the lack of images as they were used in the Froschauer bibles so the publisher offered illustrations separately for sale which are often different to those in this present copy. The two pompous frontispieces by J. H. Holzhalb and the large head-piece to the dedication are original parts of the edition. In addition this copy is embellished with the engravings of Christian Weigel after Jan and Caspar Luyken originally published at Nuremberg as a plate work mounted and inserted. Each plate bears a four-line Latin and German epigram by the poet Samuel Faber 1657-1716 beneath the image. - Lacking Weigel's engr. title and plate 37 in the Old Testament and plates 101-108 in the New Testament. - Old name on flyleaf in vol.

Royal quarto 1310 pages contemporary blindstamped full sheep repaired joints and head and foot spine panels replaced and with new endpapers; The frontispiece has been tipped-in on the new endpaper; rear cover very scuffed foxing and spots throughout edgeworn <br /> <br /> a few minor marginal tears and chips some leaves imperfectly sewn in. The Family Record leaves have extensive handwritten notes of the families of Gen. Joseph Badger Jr. Signed by him of Gilmanton Belmont NH father of Gov. Wm. Badger 1834-36. & Charles Jacobs of Gilmanton. <br/><br/>Isaiah Thomas whom Benjamin Franklin called 'the Baskerville of America' was one of the notable publishers during the early days of the Republic.He made every effort to ensure accuracy of the text by comparing some thirty different editions and having the text carefully examined by several clergymen and others who compared it with eight Bibles - Herbert 1353." The First Illustrated Bible printed in America is the 1791 folio Bible by Isaiah Thomas "The most sumptuous American Bible of the eighteenth century" : thus this quarto-sized version of that work is the Second Illustrated Bible printed in America and the first Royal Quarto Bible in English published in American both editions were announced as "completed" on the same date altho vol. 2 of the folio was still in progress. Rumball-Petre 172; Sabin 5173 variant; O'Callaghan pp. 40-42; Hills 30. Evans 23185 states that some copies were issued with no Concordance and 48 additional plates. This state however has only two copperplates as frontispieces of the 50 copperplate engravings from the folio edition plates 29 & 48 . Included are 200 pages of Tables Apocrypha and Family Records Index etc. The subscription price was $7 but half the price could be paid in wheat rye Indian corn butter or pork! It is believed that 1500 copies of each format were printed.

Provenance: General Theological Seminary perforated stamps bookplate other markings. Paper box. Text in two columns. 1170pp. 12mo. A rare early American bible advertised as the "first American pocket bible" being Young's second edition of the bible complete with metrical psalms following his edition from a different setting of 1790 Evans 22345; Hills 25. That bible was advertised for sale by Young in Dunlap's American Daily Advertise in May 1791 as "lately published" at the price of "6-1/2 dollars cash and 7 if entered on account." Although both that bible and the present edition are duodecimo the former is larger in both height and width and the 1791 advertisement continues by noting that "An edition of the Bible in pocket size is now in the press." The present Bible would be advertised in Philadelphia newspapers in September and October 1792 as "now in the press the first American edition of the Pocket Bible . printed on fine paper with good type." <br /> <br /> Small-format American bibles published less than a decade after the Aitken bible are rare and this would appear to be the smallest bible in English published in America to date.

1700557661700. Very good-. Small octavo 14.1 by 8.5 cm. Manuscript in black and brown ink; 18-20 lines per page; text in vocalized Hebrew. 6 title and editor's preface 146 12 blank 10 notes. Lacks the first leaf which has been supplied in manuscript by a later owner. 19th-century limp morocco rubbed at extremities gilt dentelles marbled endleaves. Faint dampstain along bottom margin occasional smudges and mild stains else very good with crisp text.<br /> <br /> Early modern transcription of the Hebrew version of the Gospel of Matthew published in 1551 at Paris by Martin le Jeune with notes at the rear likely the work of a student. This edition was prepared by Jean Cinqarbres Quinquarboreus; 1514-1587 who jointly held the chair of King's Professor of Hebrew Literature at the University of Paris with Jean Mercier d. 1570. Lapide describes this as a "literal" edition and notes that the learned French bibliographer and father of the Oratory Jacques Le Long regarded it as the "true and authentic Gospel of Matthew." Like many of the surviving copies it lacks the Appendix which comprised the Seven Penetential Psalms Psalm CXIX Daniel's Prayer and the Ten Commandments. Apart from minor formatting changes e.g. breaks between chapters the text appears to be a faithful copy including vowel points and some of the additional cantillation marks the printed marginalia new Hebrew page numbers and Cinqarbres's dated preface. As the original version contains only 17 lines of text per page the transcription is not a page-for-page copy. Here the copiest appears quite fastidious in providing appropritate new catchwords! The Latin portion of the title however differs notably from the original which reads: Sanctum Domini nostri Iesu Christi Hebraicum Evangelium secundum Matthaeum.<br /> <br /> "In 1537 Sebastian Münster published his Hebrew version of the Gospel of Matthew at Basel the first printed edition of the New Testament in the so-called 'mother tongue of the evangelist' as he states in his preface" Lapide. Like the Paris edition of Hebrew Matthew upon which the present copy is based Münster entitled his version Torat ha-Mashiah The Teaching of the Messiah. While Münster's version of Matthew was long believed to be based on the 14th-century Hebrew translation by the Jewish polemicist Shem Tov ben Isaac ibn Shaprut more recent scholarship has called this attribution into question. "There are medieval Hebrew forms of Matthew that most scholars think of as retroversions from the Greek of canonical Matthew often made to serve in arguments between Christians and Jews. However some claim that these texts are a guide to the original Hebrew of Matthew French scholars like J. Carmignac and M. Dubarle have contributed to this thesis. Still other scholars think they can reconstruct the original Hebrew or Aramaic underlying the whole or parts of the Greek text of canonical Matthew on the assumption that the original was in Semitic. The vast majority of scholars however contend that the Gospel we know as Matthew was composed originally in Greek and is not a translation of a Semitic original" Brown.<br /> <br /> Provenance and annotations: The copiest has added notes following the main text comprising a Seder shel Miqra / Ordo Bibliorum in which the tripartite division of the Scriptures according to Jewish tradition is described. Then follows several pages of Hebrew terminology with biblical references and definitions in Latin. Along with one or two references to rabbinic literature an erudite reference to the Passover Haggadah notes Rabbi Judah's grouping of the ten plagues into three acronyms.<br /> <br /> At the head of the leaf inserted after Cinqarbres' preface is the note "When I bought this Mss. the first chapter from verse one unto verse 14 and part of verse 15. I filled in the missing verses. May. 18th. 1901. Llewellyn Saunderson 10 De Vesse Terrace Kingstown Co. Dublin" References: R. Brown Introduction to the New Testament 1997 p. 210; P.

The Bible has had an unprecedented influence on literature and history especially in the Western World where the Gutenberg Bible was the first book printed using movable type. According to the March 2007 edition of Time the Bible “has done more to shape literature history entertainment and culture than any book ever written. Its influence on world history is unparalleled and shows no signs of abating.†With estimated total sales of over 5 billion copies it is widely considered to be the most influential and best-selling book of all time. Attitudes towards the Bible also differ among Christian groups. Roman Catholics high church Anglicans Methodists and Eastern Orthodox Christians stress the harmony and importance of both the Bible and sacred tradition while many Protestant churches including Evangelical Anglicans focus on the idea of sola scriptura or scripture alone. This concept arose during the Reformation and many denominations today support the use of the Bible as the only infallible source of Christian teaching. Others though advance the concept of prima scriptura in contrast. Oxford University Press unknown

Sussexiana. However Brunet echoed by Graesse calls is très remarquable par sa belle éxecution typographique; mais la correction en a eté peu soignée et les notes ne sont pas estimées. A magnificent but not very correct edition. According to the catalogue of 1675 it was printed in four sizes of type Imperial France Real Veluws Real and Grand Mediaen. It was one of the few large-format productions of the Elzevier presses better known for their small Port-Royal New Testaments. The two printmakers who engraved Berchems designs for the Bible maps Abraham Blooteling 1640-1690 and Jan de Visscher 1632-1692 were highly respected artists who lived and worked in Amsterdam. These engravers must have been acquainted and had probably studied together in the workshop of Cornelis Visscher. Both most likely were selected or at least approved by Berchem as engravers of the map prints. Four of the five maps within the 1669 La Sainte Bible are ornamented with illustrations engraved from models by Berchem. Designs on the fifth map may also be by Berchem.
