First edition of the New Testament translated into modern Greek. Bilingual text Koiné and Modern Greek in two columns. 24 452; 1-314 2 ff. Volume II: leaf 4a2 i.e. 278 largely torn away and with two later blank leaves inserted 4a3 i.e. 279 defective at lower gutter with some narrow loss of text. 2 vols. 4to. First Edition of the New Testament in Modern Greek. First edition of the New Testament translated into modern Greek. An important and attractive publication sponsored by the States General of Holland to foster amity between the Greek and Reformed Churches. The modern Greek was prepared by the monk Maximus of Gallipoli and the edition was authorized by the Patriarch of Constantinople Cyril Lucarius who contributed a Preface. The edition is reported to have consisted of some 1500 copies. The rationale behind the preparation of this text was much the same as the impetus leading to the publication by Elzevier of a modern Greek translation of the Dutch Reformed Catechism in 1648.

1949CNJL314Cleveland and New York: The World Publishing Company 1949. Limited First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Rogers Bruce. Two volumes the Bible one of 975 copies elephant folio size 942 pp. and Making of the Bible number 178 of 1875 copies quarto size 41 pp. The second folio Bible designed by Bruce Rogers this time for an American publisher his first was the "Oxford Lectern Bible" published in 1935 using the King James Version. No other book designer / typographer from the history of printing can claim to have designed two complete folio Bibles each one highly regarded. Bruce Rogers 1870-1957 American typographer who invented the "Centaur" tyepface based on the Renaissance-period printing of Nicolas Jenson is considered by many to be one of the greatest book designers of the twentieth century. He designed books for the Riverside Press Cambridge when he cut his first typeface "Montaigne" named for the first book it appeared in "The Essays of Montaigne" 1903; he designed "Centaur" while working as house designer for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1916 he worked for the Cambridge University Press and a few years later returned to the U.S. where he met William Edwin Rudge and was employed by him at his Mount Vernon Press. During this time he also designed books for Harvard University Press and served as typographic advisor to Lanston Monotype. In 1928 Rogers returned to England where he produced what many have called "the most important and notable typographic achievement of the twentieth century" being his Oxford Lectern Bible. The present work was done during his later years but is no less formidable in both size and scope and essential to any collection of his work.<br /> <br /> ___DESCRIPTION: Original publisher's red cloth with gilt-stamped illustration to upper board lettered in gilt to backstrip top-edge gilt quarto volume in matching red cloth with similar gilt motif to upper board and gilt lettering to backstrip with original glassine jacket and housed in a blue paper slipcase numerous flourishes and initials vintage bookseller ticket on rear pastedown; types used include Fred Goudy's Deepdene Italic Forum and Oldstyle type paper is 74 lb. 75 percent white linen rag paper from Barcham Green Mill in England elephant folio size 19.25" by 14"; "Making of the Bible" quarto size 11.5" by 8.5" pagination: Bible i-vi vii-xxii xxiii-xxiv 1-941 942 1 colophon; Making of the Bible 1-4 5-19 20-41 limited first editions of both volumes with the folio being one of 975 copies and the accompanying quarto being number 178 of 1875 copies.<br /> <br /> ___CONDITION: A very good copy of the folio with some professional restoration to the backstrip/joints some minor rubbing at edges the binding with only light dustiness gilt is bright with a few rubbed spots and the interior clean other than some minor soiling to the endpapers free of prior owner markings one very short closed tear to the upper margin of the dedication page to King James; quarto fine overall with some extremely light wear to the joints at the head and tail of the spine its glassine wrapper alas fair only as the spine has perished and we only have the panels/flaps its slipcase very good plus sturdy with some overall wear.<br /> <br /> ___POSTAGE: Please note that this is an extremely large and heavy book and therefore additional postage will apply as the standard shipping charge will not cover costs; please inquire for details.<br /> <br /> ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

16353642A very scarce edition of the Louvain version of the Bible printed in Troyes by Nicolas Oudot the younger of the two founder brothers of the dynasty of printers in Troyes. It is a small format printing consequently a fairly chunky book which is illustrated throughout with charming woodcut illustrations. The BN has a later edition published by Nicolas Oudot Troyes 1678 which is also the Louvain version edited by François Véron and revised by Antoine Girodon Chambers 1453. While this copy has suffered rather rough and ready solutions to maintaining its integrity - no easy matter considering its considerable girth - it remains an appealing object if not one in original condition. Internally it is fairly clean and the woodcut illustrations are charming.<br /><br /><i>Small 8vo 115 x 90 mm pp. xii 971 37 numerous part-page woodcut illustrations throughout the text lightly browned throughout</i> <i>in contemporary vellum covered with later marbled paper and cloth backing: a workaday and rather ugly solution but sound with early manuscript notes on the front endpaper and the ownership inscription of John Wasley on the rear endpaper.</i> <br /> Chez Nicolas Oudot, demeurant en la ruë nostre Dame

Front flyleaf with ink ownership inscription of Anne Robinson dated 1839; front flyleaves with ink annotations and Bible verses in three different 19th century hands laid-in note giving the chain of ownership in Anne Robinson's family for the next century. ◆Half a dozen leaves with small light brown spot margins trimmed a bit close but no loss but A VERY FINE COPY clean and fresh internally IN A SPARKLING BINDING.<br/> <br/> This charmingly bound little volume was the perfect book of Scripture for a Victorian lady and was cherished by generations of her family. The very feminine floral binding suggests that it was bound as a gift for Anne Robinson who used it very gently for her personal devotions--and no doubt as an attractive accessory to her Sunday church ensemble. The annotation of favorite passages offers insight into the owner's spiritual life and the inlaid handwritten "chain of title" is testament to our volume's status as family heirloom. Robinson and her successors clearly treasured it as it is little changed from the day it left the bindery. The condition is notably splendid here.

1638022099Cambridge: Thomas Buck and Roger Daniel 1638. . Your chance to own a complete Bible apart from one leaf printed only 27 years after the King James Version first came out - a huge one 15 inches tall similar to the pictures you may have seen of original 1611 editions. Hinges and extremities have wear and tear and clasps are missing. Early and late pages have furrows perhaps suggesting moisture issues long ago. A few small holes to pages appear to have been caused by rust and therefore presumably contamination of the paper by specks of ferrous metal. There are no extra materials apart from the translators' addresses to King James and to the reader at the front and the Apocrypha located between the Old and New Testaments. No endpapers - inside of front cover has old stamps of Thomas Garbutt Linen and Woollen Draper Barnard Castle likely from 100 or more years ago. The date of 1638 which is printed on the NT title page has also been added in an old but plain style in black pen at the bottom of the illustrated main title page which is a bit worn and grubby. Page 611-612 middle of Hosea is missing seeming at first glance not to have been present but in fact some tiny fragments do appear at the spine. The last page of text is dilapidated but the text of it seems near complete. Some old repairs have been made to borders of pages by pasting on paper which mostly seems of a similar nature to the original and in general when doing this care seems to have been taken not to obscure the text. The exterior is not elaborate but has a 3 inch long rhombus shaped area of gilt decoration to the middle of each of the two boards; there is no lettering or decoration to the spine. There are pictorial drop initials at the beginning of each book of the Bible and Apocrypha. This specific printing is said to have remained the standard text until the printing of Dr Paris' Cambridge edition of 1762. Leather. Average. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
