163324066London: Pr. by Augustine Mathewes one of the assignes of Hester Ogden 1633. Folio 33.3 cm 13.25". Frontis. engr. t.-p. 58 912 18 25 1 206 2 17 1 blank pp. <br><br>When the Jesuit scholars at Rheims succeeded in printing their Catholic translation of the New Testament into English first edition 1582 the event affected various English Protestant scholars in different ways: Some were offended or outraged others intrigued and yet others spurred to action. William Fulke of Pembroke College Cambridge was among those offended outraged and spurred: In 1589 he produced the first edition of his work attempting to refute the Rheims New Testament. His approach however which was to print the Rheims NT in parallel columns with the Bishops' NT the then accepted version of the Church of England supplying accompanying notes and explanations had unforeseen consequences.<br>Â Â Â Â As Darlow and Moule comment "by printing the Rheims Testament in full side by side with the Bishops' version Fulke secured for the former a publicity which it would not otherwise have obtained and was indirectly responsible for the marked influence which Rheims exerted on the Bible of 1611." Alan Thomas elaborates by observing that "many a dignified or felicitous phrase was silently lifted by the editors of King James's Version and thus passed into the language" Great Books and Book Collectors p. 108.<br>Â Â Â Â This is the fourth edition "wherein are many grosse absurdities corrected." A portrait of William Fulke precedes the engraved title-page both done by William Marshall. The Biblical text is followed as issued by Fulke's Defense of the Sincere and True Translation of the Holy Scriptures into the English Tongue against the Manifold Cavils Frivolous Quarrels and Impudent Slanders of Gregorie Martin. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â STC 2nd ed. 2947; Darlow & Moule 371; ESTC S121246; Herbert 480.

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.

Gilt floral ornamentation to spine and boards ruled in gilt. End-papers renewed. First 10 leaves with marginal repairs. A few leaves in the New Testament last part closely trimmed in upper margin occassionally touchly text. Last 10 leaves with marginal repairs. Internally with occassional miscolouring and brownspotting but an overall nice copy. Engraved title-page and the engraved portrait of Christian IV all by the royal engraver Simon the Pas. Without the half-title which merely contains the printed words "BIBLIA / Paa Danske" which is almost never present. 21 - not counting the engraved title-page and the portrait 353 i.e. 354 due to the erroneous double pagination 353 226 159 ff. <br/><br/><em>A nice copy of the scarce first edition of the last i.e. the third of the Danish folio-bibles known as "Christian IV's Bible" being a slightly revised edition of the Bible of 1589 Frederik II's Bible. Christian IV is the most famous Danish king ever to have lived and the Christian IV bible is extremely sought-after. The numerous woodcut illustrations are the same that were used for the Frederik II's Bibel from 1589. The four engraved leaves - the portrait and the three title-pages - are by Simon de Pas. Despite already having two beautiful folio-bibles Denmark's supply of Bibles was insufficient for the nation's needs. In many parishes only the church had a copy with a few more in the homes of the wealthy. This shortage was particularly severe in Norway due to its distance from the capital which limited the benefits of initiatives from the King. Funds were raised from churches in Zealand and Norway with Norway contributing generously. Two printers Melchior Martzan and Salomon Sartor were employed with Martzan overseeing corrections and sales. Norwegian churches' significant contributions were rewarded with copies equivalent to their donations while Zealand's lesser contributions received no compensation. Biblioteca Danica I 9.

Wear to capitals where the cords are loosening a bit and with a bit of loss of leather. A bit of wear to hinges at the cords which are showing. But overall the binding is in splendid condition. Also internally extremely well preserved. The title-page has a tiny restored hole to lower right corner and the first four leaves might have been inserted. They are slightly smaller at the outer margin than the other leaves. But that might also be due to restoration as the binding has not been tampered with at any point and is completely unrestored. The text is unusually nice clean and fresh by far the nicest copy we have ever come across. Pasted-down front end-paper with the ownership signature and lacquered coat-of-arms seal of Severin Svanenhielm Severin Seehusen 1664-1726 as well as the ownership signatures of Søren Schiøtz 1796-1863 with names of members of his family C. Th. Zahle and Erik Zahle. With the book plate of William Davignon d. 1924. The brass corners carry the initials HL and are depicted in Johannes Rudbeck's Svenska Bokband I fig. 26 p.53. The binding there is dated 1622 whereas our binding is from 1633 or right after. The brass fittings were a commercial merchandise for sale in Germany and probably also in both Sweden and Denmark. Engraved title-page as well as the engraved portrait of Christian IV all by the royal engraver Simon the Pas. Without the half-title which merely contains the printed words "BIBLIA / Paa Danske" which is almost never present. 21 - not counting the engraved title-page and the portrait 353 i.e. 354 due to the erroneous double pagination 353 226 159 ff. <br/><br/><em>A magnificent copy of the scarce first edition of the last i.e. the third of the Danish folio-bibles known as "Christian IV's Bible" being a slightly revised edition of the Bible of 1589. Christian IV is the most famous Danish king ever to have lived and the Christian IV bible is extremely sought-after. An unusually fresh and complete apart from the always lacking half-title copy of this splendid bible printed by the first royal printer Melchior Martzan and Salomon Sartor part 2. The numerous woodcut illustrations are the same that were used for the Frederik II Bibel from 1589. The four engraved leaves - the portrait and the three title-pages - are by Simon de Pas.Bibl. Dan.I9 - Thesaurus II 378. - Birkelund 41. - Darlow and Moule 3160. Provenance: Svanenhielm was a family of Danish and Norwegian nobility. Morten Hansen Seehuusen 1629-1694 was a merchant from Bredstedt in Schleswig-Holstein who re-located to Stavanger Norway. His son Severin Seehusen 1664-1726 was an official in Bergen as well as in Stavanger and Northern Norway. He owned among other properties Damsgård Manor outside Bergen Svanøy in Sunnfjord and Arnegård in Stavanger. In 1720 Severin Seehausen was ennobled under the name Svanenhielm. Søren Daniel Schiøtz 1796-1863 was a Norwegian bailiff and judge who was also very much engaged in religious matters and came to play an important role in the history of theology in Norway. He was one of the founders of the Norwegian Mission Society and the Norwegian Israeli Mission. He translated several important upbuilding pieces from German among them a comprehensive bible history. Carl Theodor Zahle 1866 – 1946 was a highly important Danish lawyer and politician. He was prime minister of Denmark from 1909 to 1910 and again from 1913 to 1920. In 1895 he was elected member of the lower chamber of the Danish parliament for the Liberal Party. A campaigner for peace in 1905 he co-founded the Social Liberal Party Det Radikale Venstre. He stayed on as a member of Parliament for Det Radikale Venstre until 1928 when he became a member of the upper chamber of Parliament Landstinget. In 1929 he became Minister of Justice a post which he held until 1935. Zahle was instrumental in starting negotiations for a new Danish–Icelandic Act of Union in 1917 which resulted in Iceland being recognized as a sovereign nation in a personal union with the king of Denmark the following year. Erik Zahle 1898-1969 was a famous Danish art historian author and museum director. </em> hardcover
