1790260927Boston: Printed by Joseph Bumstead for David West 1790. pp. 358 2 ads. 1 vols. 12mo. Contemporary calf. Joints a bit tender; tiny chip at tail of spine. A beautiful unrestored copy and with Pierce family inscriptions on the endpapers. pp. 358 2 ads. 1 vols. 12mo. With unusual ownership painting on the endpaper identifying the Psalms as belonging to Benjamin Pierce's Book 1791 and depicting a man up a tree by way of ladder either to send apples to another man seated below or to read his psalms aloft in peace-- let the viewer be the judge! <br/><br/>The following leaf includes a calligraphic presentation in 1799 to James Pierce who notes its use by "the society in Brattle Square" which we take to mean the then Congregational and later c. 1805-1876 Unitarian Church on Brattle Street in Boston Massachusetts. <br/><br/>The church distinguished itself by its somewhat relaxed attitude toward rigid Calvinist practices and by iits array of important ministers: Benjamin Colman 1699-1747; William Cooper 1716-1743; Samuel Cooper 1747-1783; Peter Thacher 1785-1802; Joseph Stevens Buckminster 1805-1812; Edward Everett 1814-1815; John Gorham Palfrey 1813-1831; and Samuel Kirkland Lothrop 1834-1876. The parishioners were no less esteemed: John Hancock Samuel Adams Joseph Warren John Adams Abigail Adams Richard Clarke Elizabeth Greenleaf Jane Mecom John Lowell Lydia Hancock Henry Cabot Lodge James Bowdoin 1676-1747 and many others. Hans Gram played organ in the late 18th century. The Pierce family's early days in America perhaps coming as early as about 1620 were spent largely in New Hampshire and Massachusetts and their legacy includes Benjamin Pierce governor of New Hampshire 1827-1830 as well as ten generations spent in what is now an historic landmark of seventeenth-century architecture currently serving as a museum in Dorchester Massachusetts. It is difficult to place exactly which Benjamin Pierce and James Pierce this copy belonged to in the large and lively family. Evans 22351 Printed by Joseph Bumstead for David West unknown books
2012WRCAM46192ANew Haven; Bryn Mawr; New York 2012. 20; 20pp. text in both English and German plus twenty-five original leaves and six additional illustrated leaves tipped into accompanying folders. Large folio. Fine. In a clamshell box. The German Bible in America has a long and significant history reflective of the European culture which gave it birth; the local conditions of Pennsylvania where it rose to its greatest heights; and the rich German-American culture created by emigrants and their descendants in the 19th-century United States. From the first American edition of a Bible in German in 1743 through the late 19th century numerous printers and publishers issued bibles in various formats ranging from large folios intended for lectern use to smaller versions for personal study. This leaf book celebrates the range and richness of these productions indicative of the world of German culture in America in the 18th and 19th centuries as expressed through its most widely studied text in a series of twenty- five leaves. Each set contains two versions of the descriptive text one in English and the other in German with an introduction by Don Yoder Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies Folklore and Folk-Life at the University of Pennsylvania. Further text describes the printers of each leaf the circumstances under which they were printed and other attributes. Each leaf is enclosed in an individual folder. <br> <br> The German Bible in America is issued in an edition of sixty copies with fifty of the regular series and ten additional deluxe copies containing six extra leaves of illustrations from the illustrated bibles included in the collection. This is one of ten deluxe copies lettered by hand. unknown books

The first complete Bible to be produced entirely in shorthand engraved throughout by John Sturt and including the metrical psalms of Sternhold and Hopkins translated from the King James Authorised Version by English writing master and stenographer William Addy c.1618-c.1695. Addy's shorthand system was extensively outlined in his Stenographia or The art of short- writing compleated in a far more compendious method than any yet extant London 1684. As he himself acknowledged it owed a great debt to the system of Jeremiah Rich d. c. 1660. Darlow & Moule transcribe a note from the B.M. copy which explains the method of production: 'This Bible in Stenography my Brethren at sight and all others skill'd in ye Art of Sculpture know it's Engraven; but in a Peculiar Manner. It was written by Mr. Addy in ungum'd Ink burnished on the wax and then run through with the Engraver by John Sturt'. The old bookseller's description tipped into this copy refers to the work as the 'Pepys shorthand Bible' referencing J.W. Carlton's 1933 article "Samuel Pepys his Short-hand Books" Transactions of the Bibliographical Society. New Series Vol. XIV p.83 1933; however Pepys copy is described as featuring 'a rapturous dedication to William of Orange' which was not added until the 1689 reissue confusingly with the title continuing to display the 1687 date of this Bible.

'Price One Pound Five Shillings Unbound' to title-page. JOHN BASKETT 1665-1742 was the king's printer. His sons Thomas and Robert and grandson by the latter Mark were also engaged in the press. The first Bible printed by 'the assigns of Newcomb and Hills' appeared in 1710 and the name of John Baskett was first added to theirs upon a New Testament in 1712. Baskett began to print the Book of Common Prayer in the following year when he brought out editions in quarto octavo and 12mo. He was made master of the Company of Stationers in 1714 and again in 1715. Four editions of the Bible folio quarto octavo and duodecimo appeared with his imprint in 1715. His next publication was an edition in two volumes imperial folio printed at Oxford the Old Testament in 1717 and New Testament in 1716 a work of great typographical beauty styled by Dibdin 'the most magnificent' of the Oxford Bibles. It is known as 'The Vinegar Bible' from an error in the headline of St. Luke ch. xx. which reads 'The parable of the vinegar' instead of 'The parable of the vineyard.' It is so carelessly printed that it was at once named 'A Baskett-full of printers' errors'. This edition has none the Baskett's previous errors.

Edidit Thomas Pell Platt A.M., 1 vol. petit in-4 reliure de l'époque pleine basane marron estampée à froid, impression en deux couleurs, Impensis Societatis Ad Biblia sacra in Britannia et apud exteras gentes evulganda Institutae, Impressit Ricardus Watts [Richard Watts ], Londini [ Londres, London ], 1829, [-]2, B-Z4 2A-2Q4, 2R2, B*-Z*4, AA*-ZZ*4, AAA*-DDD*4, DDD**4. Très rare exemplaire de la première traduction du Nouveau Testament en Amharique. Le consul français au Caire, Jean Louis Asselin de Cherville, avait élaboré durant 10 années cette traduction avec le secours d'Abu Rumi (l'ancien traducteur de l'explorateur James Bruce). Il n'existait auparavant que des traductions partielles en amharique, et la bible éthiopienne existait seulement en langue Ge'ez. Le manuscrit en fut acquis par William Jowett au bénéfice de la British and Foreign Bible Society. Le présent exemplaire est parfaitement conforme à la collation indiquée par Fumagalli dans sa Bibliografia Etiopica, 1384 : "Questo Nuovo Testamento si compono dei Vangeli del 1824 e degli altri liberi stampati nel 1829. Il volume ha il seguente registro : da B a 2R (fine dei Vangeli), da B* a DDD*, piu la segn. DDD*** e i due frontesp. latino ed amarico. Il quad. 2R non ha che due carte". La reliure d'origine est conservée, mais a été renforcée à l'adhésif. Hormis un très petit travail de vers marginal en début d'ouvrage, le texte est d'une fraîcheur remarquable. The first complete New Testament published in Amharic. The translator, Abu Rumi, was an Abyssinian monk. He was helped by M. Asselin de Cherville, French consul in Cairo. The editor was P. T. Platt, (1798-1852), librarian of the British and Foreign Bible Society, assisted by Samuel Lee, professor of Arabic at Cambridge. They bought the manuscript of the Bible for 1250.00 £.

ST15769aPerhaps France mid-12th century. Each leaf measures approximately 370 x 240 mm. 14 1/2 x 9 1/2". Double column 32 lines in a fine proto-gothic hand. <br/> See: Thompson "An Introduction to Greek and Latin Paleography" p. 436. ◆Recovered from a binding and thus with one side of each leaf somewhat browned soiled and with a few creases one leaf with several small blotches of red paint in the text not affecting overall legibility one corner of each leaf torn away affecting running title and one to two lines of text other trivial defects but still very nice specimens with clear and legible script and one side of each leaf quite clean and well preserved.<br/> <br/> Once part of a large and elegant Romanesque Bible these leaves are excellent examples of a high quality proto-gothic book hand. Sometimes referred to as "praegothica" or "late Caroline" the proto-gothic script is characterized by letterforms that are more or less unchanged from Caroline minuscule but with a number of traits starting to show elements of gothic script--most notably the addition of feet appearing here as an upward flick of the pen on the bottom of minims but also including the use of more abbreviations the fusion of certain letter combinations a more elongated "o" and a straight-backed "a." Whatever the level of its evolution the script here has very pleasing rounded letterforms that are highly legible and generously spaced. Though the vellum is not unmarred by its former life as binding material the script here has not lost any of its beauty revealing a hand that is practiced regular and distinctly pleasing to the eye. As Thompson notes "In the twelfth century the scribes seem to have vied with each other in producing the best types of book-writing of which they were capable with the result that remarkable precision in the formation of the letter was attained and that the century may be named as excelling all others for the beauty of its MSS." Our leaves come from Deuteronomy the Old Testament book consisting primarily of three sermons made by Moses just before entering the Promised Land. One leaf contains brief summaries of chapters 2-18 with some chapters numbered in the margins while the other leaf contains part of the first of Moses' speeches in which he recalls the Israelites' 40-year journey through the wilderness. unknown

MMMMM gathering repeated. A good unsophisticated copy. The first Bible printed in Vermont illustrated with eight plates and a map. Copies with the map and full complement of plates are most uncommon. Printed by John Cunningham and published in Windsor by Merrifield and Cochran who sold the volume both wholesale and retail "at the sign of the Bible" the edition was also to be sold in Worcester Boston Walpole and Middlebury. The eight plates produced in a simple style O'Callaghan describes them as "exceedingly coarse" were engraved specifically for this edition and all are labelled as belonging to the first Vermont edition. They include: "Elijah Raising the Widow's Son" "The Holy Family" "St. Matthew" "St. Mark" "Jesus of Nazareth Which was Crucified: He is Risen; He is Not Here" "St. Luke" "St. John the Evangelist" and "St. Paul." Seven were engraved by Isaac Eddy 1777-1847 of Weathersfield Vt. and one by James Hill "Jesus of Nazareth". O'Callaghan and Hills call for seven plates total six by Eddy and one by Hill but McCorison calls for eight as found here.

158448696Antverpiae: Ex officina Christophori Plantini 1584. Folio 6 parts in 1; pp. 8 186 2; 128; collating: ¶4 A-Y4 Z6; Aa-Qq4; woodcut device on title page; bound with: Biblica Hebraica Antverpiae 1584 Hebrew-Latin Old Testament Greek-Latin Apocrypha etc. in various pagings from back of book viz.: pp. 20 183 1; 283 1; 84; 203 1; collating from the back: †4 ‡ 6 A-O6 P8; a-x6 y-z8 aa-gg6 AA-RR6; in all 551 leaves; text in double column in Hebrew Greek and Latin; early 18th century calf blindstamped panels on covers red morocco label on spine; covers with dampstains corners bumped and showing small cracks starting at the extremities of the joints occasional light minor dampstaining but in all a very good and reasonably sound copy. Terminal flyleaf with elaborately penned inscription: "Isaac Sharpe flourishes dono Patris 1719." On the rear pastedown is Sharpe's early "Coll. Mag." bookplate dated April 4 1683 - possibly the date of his matriculation at Magdalene College Cambridge. The Greek N.T. starts at the beginning of the volume and the Hebrew O.T. at the end with the Greek Apocrypha of 128 pages between them. Each Testament has its own title page and the mention of the Apocrypha on both suggests that it was intended to form an appendix to either of the Testaments if they were issued separately. See Darlow & Moule 4645 and 5106: "This forms the latter half of the complete Bible in the original languages with an interlinear Latin translation; the whole reprinted from the Antwerp polyglot"; Voet A2 p. 320. <br/><br/> Ex officina Christophori Plantini unknown books
160033612Antwerp: By Daniel Vervliet 1600. Small 4to 21 cm; 8.25". 18 ff. 745 1 pp. 13 ff. <br><br>The second edition of the Roman Catholic new Testament in English. The translation is the work of a number of English Catholic priests but principally of Gregory Martin who fled to France in 1568 because of persecution in their native land and under the direction of Dr. later Cardinal William Allen founded the English College at Douai. The college moved for a short time to Rheims but subsequently returned as the title-page here attests.<br>Â Â Â Â The first edition of this translation was issued at Rheims in 1582 in over-sanguine hopes that its sale would be successful enough to underwrite the cost of a prompt production of the Old Testament. The two-volume O.T. did not appear however until 1609/1610.<br>Â Â Â Â The second edition of the Rheims N.T. is a revision of the first not merely a reprinting of it and contains a "Table of Heretical Corruptions" not found in the 1582 printing and a new preface. In an era of noticeable decline in the art of printing this Testament enjoys far better than average typography. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Darlow & Moule 198; Herbert 258; STC 2989; ESTC S102510. Late 17th- early 18th-century English calf with concentric blind panels on covers in contrasting tones of brown and tan all edges deep red; covers with scrapes and bumps rebacked with hinges inside strengthened new endpapers with 1906 owner's inscription on front free one. Title-page dust-soiled and torn in upper margin with some loss of decorative border page skillfully remargined with blank paper. Some foxing and age-soiling in early leaves; this similarly at rear starting around p. 640 and most notable in Tables with also some dust-soiling and with light waterstaining across a good number of upper outer corners. Overall a good to very good copy sturdy and appealing. By Daniel Vervliet unknown books
