"In the 1870s The Doré Bible was perhaps the most treasured and expensive book in the world" Malan 81. Certainly it proved a milestone in Doré's career. Doré's illustrations for the Bible first published in French in 1866 were a great success and in 1867 Doré had a major exhibition of his work in London which led to the founding of Doré Gallery in Bond Street London. Doré's "Bible was enthusiastically sponsored by one of the greatest French publishers of illustrated books of the day… Its original reception was truly remarkable… A second edition of the Bible was called for almost at once… Editions appeared in almost every European country… One of the first off the mark was an English edition from Cassell Petter and Galpin 1867. This caused an even greater sensation than the French edition and the demand among collectors for any and everything by Doré was clamorous" Muir 224.

It follows Robert Aitken's Bible published in Philadelphia 1781-2. Printing of Young's 12mo Bible which Hills states was advertised for use in schools was already underway when Aitken's 1789 application to Congress for an exclusive right to publish Bibles in America was rejected. Evans notes that "this edition was published in 1789 although dated 1790" and quotes from the publisher's advertisement: "this edition has two strong recommendations to preference it is cheaper than any imported edition; and it is composed entirely of American manufacture." Young followed with a 24mo edition with metrical psalms in 1790.Rare: ESTC locates three copiestwo at AAS NYPL.

1763306680Birmingham: John Baskerville Printer to the University 1763. The third variant of the Subscriber's list with the most names ending with that of the Hon. Charles York Esq Attorney General. 1146 pp. 1 vols. Folio. Bound in full dark blue straight-grained morocco covers tooled in gilt with wide Greek key and drawer handle border with floral cornerpieces narrow gilt filet-bordered rectangles tooled all over with drawer handle and sunburst tools and semé off small dots with central gilt-stamped L with crown spine with six double raised bands titled in one compartment stamped with owner's name "Frederic Powys" in another and the rest richly gilt a.e.g. pink endsheets by Staggemeier and Welcher with their circular pink paper label on front pastedown. Front joint and headcap with conservation repairs of the highest quality light foxing to text. The third variant of the Subscriber's list with the most names ending with that of the Hon. Charles York Esq Attorney General. 1146 pp. 1 vols. Folio. The 1763 edition of Baskerville's Bible has always been recognised as his masterpiece and is one of the high-points in the history of printing in Britain. This beautiful and monumental binding can be closely dated because Thomas Powys formerly MP for Northamptonshire was created Baron Lilford in 1797 and Staggemeier & Welcher are recorded in partnership on Villiers Street as of 1799. By 1810 Welcher was in business alone at that address. The Hon and Rev. Frederic Powys whose name appears on the spine was the third son of the first Lord Lilford; he married in 1807. Whether the binding was commissioned for his taking holy orders or on the occasion of his marriage can only be conjectured. A landmark of printing in a splendid binding. Nixon p. 184; Gaskell Bibliography of John Baskerville 26; Ramsden p. 135. Provenance: Frederic Powys his name tooled in gilt to spine Lilford Library booklabel John Baskerville, Printer to the University unknown

A cornerstone for any collection of American children's books American illustration or American Bibles this classic children's book is an American reprinting of the edition first published by Hodgson in London in 1783. Containing nearly 500 illustrations it is the first Bible printed in the United States specifically for children. The rebus format of the small volume presents the young reader with famous Bible stories in an amusing format that encourages reading puzzle solving and Bible study.<br /> <br /> "A touchstone of eighteenth-century American book illustration this 'curious' children's Bible contains nearly five hundred woodcuts made by American artists. The most ambitious woodcut book produced in America up to that time it is one of the sixty-five children's book titles produced by the pioneer publisher of children's literature and preeminent early American printer Isaiah Thomas 1749-1831 who had learned the art of engraving while apprenticed in his youth to the Boston printer Zechariah Fowle" American Treasures of the Library of Congress online exhibition.<br /> <br /> Complete copies of the first hieroglyphic and children's Bible printed in America are very rare with even Brinley's copy lacking a leaf.

The first edition of the Septuagint printed in England with the Scholia the scarce printing in quarto format. The text is derived from the Sixtine text and edited by John Biddle 1615-1662 the Unitarian controversialist who was imprisoned by the Parliamentary Commissioners for his religious views. <br /> The SCHOLIA . has a separate title-leaf register and pagination. The same setting was imposed in both quarto and octavo formats the latter with rules separating the columns of text. In regard to institutional representation the edition in quarto is much more uncommon than that in octavo: ESTC locates 4 copies of the quarto printing in North America as opposed to 19 of the octavo printing. Occasionally Daniel's reprint of the New Testament is bound up with the octavo printings to form a complete Bible. Brunet cites that format but notes the sale of a copy on "Gr. Pap." presumably a copy in this format. Over the last 35 years ABPC records sale of one copy in quarto 1999 and four in octavo.

Johann Zainer the Elder fl. 1472-93 established the first printing press at Ulm where his first book is dated 1473.

ISTC gives a conjectural date of around 1480. <br /> <br /> The book's handy but fragile format a thick octavo that would have been easily portable for late fifteenth-century users doubtless guaranteed a low survival rate.
