'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.

Text in italic headlines and chapter headings in roman; printed marginalia. Later pigskin over bevelled boards tooled in blind brass clasps one of two and catches manuscript title at spine. Extensive old manuscript notes at front endleaf and four blank leaves at the end including the two integral blanks; occasional marginalia and underlining. Title soiled with some slight erosion at margin from oxidation of the clasps else a very good copy with clean fresh text throughout. Complete with the two final blank leaves.<br /> <br /> Second Gryphius edition and a rather uncommon early sixteenth-century printing of Erasmus’ Latin translation of the New Testament first published at Basel in 1516. According to Baudrier Ly. V. 804101/Cat. de Lignerolles Paris Porquet 1894 no. 48 Gryphius first published this translation in 1542 and 1543 as a 16mo of 847 pages; neither of these issues appear in Deleveau & Hillard. Like the present edition these early Gryphius printings of the Erasmus New Testament survive in only a handful of copies. The text opens with Erasmus' dedication to pope Leo X followed by his preface to the reader a general index of the New Testament corpus a listing of the chapters of the four Gospels and a brief passage from Jerome's catalogue of ecclesiastical writings. The editor's introductions precede each book. The text concludes with Erasmus' translation of a brief discussion of apocryphal literature partly from Athanasius though Erasmus questions the attribution: "De libris utriusque testamenti partim reiectus aut non sine contradictione admissis partim apocryphis ex Athanasio tametsi mihi suspectus est titulus." <br /> <br /> Provenance and annotations: Extensive early annotations in more than one hand appear throughout the book; many marginal notes have been added throughout the Gospel of Matthew. At the front of the book beginning with the free endleaf: "Poeta de Pythogora" several stanzas in Latin and Greek; facing the title: A morning prayer "Oro matutina lecturis oracula divina" 11 lines; an accounting of biblical eras 10 lines since Abraham David and the Babylonian Exile appears at the verso of the title leaf. The final blank page the two intergral blank leaves and two additional blanks added by the binder are filled with notes in several different hands including: a passage from Augustine's De doctrina christianae 14 lines; noted as book 2 chapters 11 and 12 along with four lines about Tertullian; four pages of notes on the twelve disciples numbered; a Greek text discussing the divine names in which the tetragrammaton is written in Hebrew letters; a passage from a letter of Basilius Magnus in Greek with Latin translation.<br /> <br /> Printed label of Edward Davis Hoblyn 1809-1881 and his manuscript entry dated 1831 at the free endleaf. Edward was likely related to the renowned book collector Robert Hoblyn 1710-1756 of Cornwall. A catalogue of Robert’s collection was printed in 1768 as Bibliotheca Hobliniana and reissued by Murray in 1769 with a new titlepage. The library remained with Robert’s widow and was sold in 1778. The present work is not listed in the Bibliotheca though no fewer than nineteen 16th-century Latin Bibles and Testaments appear in the catalogue. Gift inscription of D. N. Goodman of San Francisco California to Father J. L. Damas at front pastedown dated 1935. References: Baudrier 8 217. Baumgarten Nach. v. merkw.

MartinÃs Biblical paintings are among the finest ever produced: ìThe spirit in which Martin worked is suggested by a passage in his catalogue for the large oil painting ëThe Fall of Ninevehà which he exhibited in lonely magnificence in 1827: ëThe mighty cities of Nineveh and Babylon have long since passed away. The accounts of their greatness and splendor may have been exaggerated. But where strict truth is not essential the mind is content to find delight in the contemplation of the grand and the marvelous. Into the solemn visions of antiquity we look without demanding the clear daylight of truth. Seen through the mist of ages the great becomes gigantic the wonderful swells into the sublimeÃî Ray The Illustrator and the Book in England from 1790 to 1914 p. 44.

17001002658London: Printed for Dan. Brown at the Black Swan and Bible without Temple-bar and Andr. Bell at the Cross-keys and Bible in Cornhil 1700. First edition of this verse translation of the Song of Songs by Joseph Stennett 1663-1713 the first important Baptist hymnwriter in England: "Thy Lips my Spouse that move with skill / Drops like the Hony-comb distil. / Hony and Milk's beneath thy Tongue / Which feeds the Weak as well as strong." In his scholarly preface Stennett is quick to assure readers that the Hebrew text is not about sexual desire despite appearances: "some have denied that Solomon wrote it by Divine Inspiration; and make his Design to be only that of celebrating his Amours with Pharoah's Daughter or some other person." The passion of the bridegroom and the bride is to be understood however as a divine allegory of Christ's love for his church the same "mystical Espousals" found in the 45th Psalm which Stennett also translates here.

1855ABC_47909London: William Watts 1855. Original elaborately embossed brown calf with the title lettered in gold on the spine red edges. 8vo 22 x 14 cm. Rare edition of one of the best Arabic translations of the Bible. This work is based on the 1671 version from Rome which was the first printed edition of the complete Bible in Arabic. However the version from 1671 was not vocalised written with vowel points but the present edition from London is.The Arabic translation of the Bible from 1671 was done under the direction of Sergius Risi d. 1638 the archbischop of Damascus. It had been requested by the Archbischop of Aleppo and other important figures from the Eastern Church as manuscript copies had become rare and were often found to be incorrect. Risi and his team compared the Arabic manuscripts of the Bible they had access to with Hebrew and Latin versions and then composed their own translation. They first completed the Arabic Pentateuch. The Old and New Testament followed in 1647 and 1650 respectively after Risi's passing. These translations were revised and then finally published in 1671. It was the only Arabic translation of the complete Bible until 1811. Numerous new translations were made in 19th century. The present Catholic edition of the Arabic Bible translation existed alongside the 1860 Protestant translation by Cornelius van Alen van Dyck.According to the title-page this edition of the Old Testament was printed in 1855. However none of the relevant reference works mention an 1855 edition. Since the title-page of the New Testament bears the year 1857 it is possible that the Old Testament was also printed in that year and the date on the title-page is a printing mistake. The 1857 edition is also fairly rare on the market as we have only been able to find it in 1 sales record of the past 100 years.With the label of Watkins' bookbinding factory mounted on the front pastedown and a purple Spanish stamp from the library of someone with a law degree on the final leaf. The edges and corners of the boards are somewhat scuffed the binding is rubbed with some loss of material on the spine. The leaves are somewhat browned mild foxing throughout the back pastedown has a tear in the gutter.
