1860149517Venice: Printed at the Mekhitarist Monastery of Saint Lazarus 1860. Later edition of the Bible in classical Armenian. Octavo bound in three quarters morocco with gilt titles to the spine title page vignette. In good condition with rubbing to the spine and extremities. Translated from the original languages and carefully corrected. Armenian Bibles hold a central place in both the religious and cultural history of Armenia reflecting the nation’s early adoption of Christianity and its enduring reverence for sacred literature. The first complete Armenian Bible printed in Amsterdam in 1666–1668 by Voskan Yerevantsi marked a monumental moment in Armenian print culture and linguistic preservation. Over the following centuries numerous editions emerged many produced by the Mekhitarist Congregation whose scholarly and publishing activity defined Armenian intellectual life in the diaspora. The Mekhitarist Congregation founded in the early 18th century was instrumental in preserving and publishing Armenian religious historical and linguistic works. Their Venice press became one of the most important centers for Armenian printing and scholarship producing Bibles grammars and classical Armenian literature for distribution across the diaspora.

Minor tear to tail of spine to part one. Five volumes. From the library of Ericsberg with its book plate. An engraved frontispiece sometimes present is not in this copy. Darlow and Moule 4239. The famous Berlenburg bible is a new German translation edited by the learned pietist Johann Friedrich Haug and other scholars with â€strong mystical symphaties†Darlow and Moule. Bad Berlenburg had thanks to Casimir Graf von Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berlenburg become a refuge center for radical pietists like the brothers Haug and thanks to them Berlenburg soon also became the publishing center for the so called â€German Philadelphian Movementâ€. One of the brothers Johann Jacob Haug was a publisher and printer and another Johann Friedrich was a theologist and orientalist. Their goal was to produce a Bible based on the original texts with explanatory notes and comments and for that reason Haug enlisted the support of academics in several European countries and he worked on the project for almost 20 years. The result become a monument of the German 'Philadelphian Movement' and the bible influenced radical pietist esoteric and others. The agent for its sale in America Christopher Sauer used the text as a model for the first German-American Bible 1743 when his supply was exhausted. hardcover

Including: Ke kauoha hou a ko kakou haku e ola'i a Iesu Kristo oia ka olelo hemolele no ke ola a na lunaolelo i kakau ai. Second edition of the entire Bible in the Hawaiian language but the first edition in octavo to be published in a single volume. The translation a joint effort of American missionaries and Hawaiian advisers was a monumental work of language and scholarship. "Neither of the two very different groups of people who produced the Baibala - the missionary scholars working with ancient texts and the Hawaiian chiefs and advisors guardians of a millennium of traditional Kanaka learning - could have produced even a pedestrian Bible translation on their own. Together through over a decade of incessant and mostly fruitful labor and cooperation they created a work for the ages among the best Bible translations of their century and an enduring literary monument today" Lyon.The first gospels in the Hawaiian language were printed in 1827-1828 ultimately leading to a complete translation of the New Testament in 1835 which was revised in 1837. The first translation of the Old Testament was published in 1838 and together with the 1837 New Testament incorporated in a complete edition of the Bible in three volumes. In 1843 these texts were reprinted with several mistakes corrected in a more compact version and then bound together to form this edition of the Bible. Apparently sales of the 10000 copies printed were slow with records showing that "between 400 and 600 Bibles were bound and presumably distributed each year" Forbes. This slow distribution could explain why no new edition of the complete Bible in Hawaiian appeared until 1868.With an 1853 owner's inscription on the title page. Slightly foxed and with several sections slightly browned; a very good copy.l Forbes 1416; Judd 165; Lyon "No ka Baibala Hemolele: The making of the Hawaiian Bible" in: Palapala I 2017 pp. 113-151.

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.

1663ABC_48446Leiden 1663. Large folio 44.5 x 28 cm. widow and heirs of Johannes Elzevier Contemporary elaborately gold-tooled red morocco over bevelled wooden boards sewn on 8 supports with corresponding raised bands on the spine with grand silver fittings with the hallmarks of an unknown silversmith dated on the inside of one of the clasps "1665" gold-tooled board edges and turn-ins. Further with gilt painted and elaborately gauffered and decorated edges; the fore edge shows the coat-of-arms of Jeremias de Bont with some floral decorations these floral decorations can also be found on the top and bottom edges. The boards show a very intricate gold-tooled symmetric design of ribbons with small geometric stamps and with ornamental curling stamps - better known as "petit fers" - within the different parts of the bigger pattern. The binding contains 4 ornamental corner pieces on each board and two catch plates front board and two hinge plates back board connected by two decorated massive silver clasps engraved on the inside "Ieremias de Bont top and "1665" bottom. With 3 letterpress title-pages the first in red and black and each with the same Elzevier woodcut tree device with non solus a complete series of 6 double-page engraved maps the Nicolaes Visscher maps 5 published ca. 1657 and including the world map added ca. 1663 without the engraved title-page as usual. Further with numerous woodcut initials and tailpieces. 3 parts in 1 volume. 22 "368" = 370; 13 "167" = 168; 2 77 ll. The first Dutch "States Bible" to be printed in roman type printed by the famous Leiden printers publishers and booksellers Elzevier. The present copy in the splendid binding was made for a high official within the Dutch Republic Jeremias de Bont. His family's coat-of-arms can be found on the gauffered painted and gilt fore edge and Jeremias' name is engraved in the inside of the top silver clasp the bottom one shows a date "Anno 1665". The "States Bible" is the first officially authorized translation of the Bible into Dutch the Statenvertaling commissioned during the Synod of Dordrecht 1618-1619. The States General of the United Provinces of the Netherlands were asked to pay for it hence its name. The translation was completed in 1635 and approved authorized and published in 1637 in Leiden. For the present 1663 edition the Elzeviers followed the text of the 1657 revised and corrected edition. In a sense it could be seen as a revolutionary publication even though it still is an authorised version of the Bible; the present copy contains the live signature of a Leiden city clerk - as usual - to indicate its authorization. The decision to set the main text in roman type rather than the conventional gothic textura was unprecedented in such publications and not only contributed to the spread of roman type in Dutch-language printed matter generally works in Latin were often set in roman more than a century earlier but also contributed to the prolonged popularity of the authorised translation itself and of the present edition.The present copy is illustrated with 6 double-page maps published by Nicolaes Visscher; this series includes 5 maps of Jerusalem and the Holy Land published ca. 1657 and 1 world map published ca. 1663 as usual all in their first state.Jeremias de Bont -1687 was 17th-century politician in the Dutch Republic. He was a member of the "Vroedschap van Gorinchem" in/since 1674 city council of Gorinchem in the present-day province of South Holland burgomaster in Gorinchem in 1679 and 1681-1683 and member of the Dutch "Raad van State" Council of State of Holland on behalf of the city of Gorinchem.We thank dr. J. Storm van Leeuwen for his in-depth analysis of the present binding. Through his findings we know that the present binding is contemporary to the work 1663 and judging by the style of the decorations possibly produced by a German binder in the Netherlands Amsterdam or The Hague. In his research Storm van Leeuwen came across 3 other bindings in the same style and all produced around the 1660s. These bindings cannot be ascribed to a hitherto known 17th-century Dutch bindery thus - for ease of reference - Storm van Leeuwen named the bindery after the present binding: "De-Bont Binderij".With the signature of J. van der Werve a city clerk below the coat of arms of the city of Leiden on the verso of the first title-page below the privileges. The binding shows slight signs of wear browned and foxed throughout the edges are slightly dust-soiled but still showing the highly detailed decorations. Without the engraved title-page as usual.

Very scarce early edition of the Dutch States Bible as published by the Amsterdam publisher's "company" of Joannes van Someren Abraham Wolfgang Michiel de Groot and Hendrik and Dirk Boom. The present copy presumably was a gift to Catharina Maria Daey 1645-in or after 1689 on the occasion of her marriage in October 1681 to Captain Peter Ebels 1644-in or after 1689 in 1681. Their names are engraved on the inside of the silver clasps. Together they had 6 children.

It is the first or one of the earliest editions of the Dutch States Bible published by the "company" of Van Someren Wolfgang De Groot and H. & D. Boom. It is very scarce as barely any copies of this edition are known in institutions.

An unrecorded issue 1 of at least 7 of a rare and important 1590 Bible edition the corrected "deux aes" Bible based on the first edition of 1562 New Testament 1559 which remained the standard Dutch Reformed Bible until the official Dutch States translation published in 1637. It was translated from Luther's German by Godfried van Wingen the New Testament by Johannes Dyrkinus after comparison with several other versions and includes many notes some also taken from Luther and some by Augustin Marlorat as well as Petrus Danthenus's metric psalms with music notes. The Amsterdam bookseller Laurens Jacobsz. initiated the publication of the present corrected text of the "deus aes" Bible and the maps to accompany it publishing the folio edition with maps himself but sharing the quarto edition with four other publishers. Although Jacobsz.'s name does not appear in the present issue he was originally trained as a binder operated his shop at the sign of the gold-tooled Bible and Fontaine Verwey gives evidence to link him with the panel stamp on the present binding. He may therefore have bound copies or had them bound for the other publishers. Bibliasacra Typ. Batava and the STCN together record only 8 copies of all issues combined at least half of those lack leaves and some of the copies with all leaves have defective leaves or lack the maps so that they record at most 2 other complete copies with maps.With a few leaves slightly browned a water stain in the second half and the first preliminary quire of part 1 faint outside a few quires small tears in the maps and a few worm holes or other defects in the paper mostly in the margins of the last few leaves but still in good condition. The binding has been skilfully re-backed probably in the early 19th-century and is slightly rubbed with a crack along the edge of the panel-stamp on the front board and a few minor cuts and scrapes but also still in good condition and only slightly trimmed.
