1584V6854Antwerp 1584. 16mo 118 x 8 cm. Christophe Plantin Late 17th-century dark brown calf with gold-stamped coat of arms of Pierre-Daniel Huet on both covers and gold-tooled dubbel-lined borders on covers and spine faded red speckled edges. With woodcut printer's device on the title page the text is partially printed in Greek. 267 13 pp. The text of this Book of Psalms is printed in Greek and Latin in parallel columns and on each page the inner column contains the text in Greek while the outer column contains the same in Latin. There are separate Greek and Latin indexes at the end of the work. This copy belonged to Pierre-Daniel Huet 1630-1721 a French clergyman and scholar. According to the title page this bilingual work was published by Plantin after the example of the Complutensian Polyglot Bible 1520. Plantin also issued a 24mo edition in the same year.The present copy is bound in dark brown leather with the coat of arms of Pierre-Daniel Huet stamped in gold on the front and back covers. Huet was the Bishop of Soissons and later Avranches. He was the cofounder of the Académie de Physique in Caen and in 1674 he became a member of the Académie française. He was one of the most learned men of his age; he studied Greek and Hebrew and he claimed to have read the Hebrew text of the Bible 24 times. The present volume also contains a few marginal corrections of the Greek text in a contemporary neat hand. Huet was known for his very fine and neat handwriting. As a linguist with an interest in Greek and Hebrew it is highly probable that Huet extensively used this copy and that he himself added the annotations. Despite his knowledge of Hebrew the partly obscure Hebrew annotations on the first endleaf "this book belongs to me Cardeliac" are probably not his. Although Huet was not a member of the Jesuit order he lived his final years in a Jesuit home in Paris. After his death he bequeathed his library to the Jesuits and upon the dissolution of the order in France in 1764 king Louis XV bought Huet's books and they are now part of the colleciton of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. The bookplate on the front pastedown was made by the Jesuits to commemorate Huet's donation of his library.Covers show signs of wear spine has been expertly restored. With an ex libris-label of Pierre-Daniel Huet on the front pastedown: "Ex libris bibliothecae quam Illustrissimus Ecclesiae Princeps. D Petrus Daniel Huetius . 1692." an inscription in brown ink in Hebrew and several inscriptions in pencil all on the first fly leaf. With crossed out inscriptions except for "164" in the bottom left corner on the verso of the third fly leaf and at the head of the title-page with some annotations in dark brown ink in Greek throughout very slight foxing throughout a small water stain in the top margin of the second half of the book without affecting the text. On pp. 29-30 a small corrosion spot on p. 30 a marginal stain and a small hole in the text in p. 87 all very slightly affecting the text. This is a well preserved copy of a bilingual book of psalms with an interesting provenance.l BMC STC Dutch p. 26; Voet 671; Olivier 1684. cf. NBG XXV col. 381-385; Voet 672; Adams B-1390 "32mo".

The first complete Bible to be produced entirely in shorthand engraved throughout by John Sturt and including the metrical psalms of Sternhold and Hopkins translated from the King James Authorised Version by English writing master and stenographer William Addy c.1618-c.1695. Addy's shorthand system was extensively outlined in his Stenographia or The art of short- writing compleated in a far more compendious method than any yet extant London 1684. As he himself acknowledged it owed a great debt to the system of Jeremiah Rich d. c. 1660. Darlow & Moule transcribe a note from the B.M. copy which explains the method of production: 'This Bible in Stenography my Brethren at sight and all others skill'd in ye Art of Sculpture know it's Engraven; but in a Peculiar Manner. It was written by Mr. Addy in ungum'd Ink burnished on the wax and then run through with the Engraver by John Sturt'. The old bookseller's description tipped into this copy refers to the work as the 'Pepys shorthand Bible' referencing J.W. Carlton's 1933 article "Samuel Pepys his Short-hand Books" Transactions of the Bibliographical Society. New Series Vol. XIV p.83 1933; however Pepys copy is described as featuring 'a rapturous dedication to William of Orange' which was not added until the 1689 reissue confusingly with the title continuing to display the 1687 date of this Bible.

147725127Nuremberg: Anton Koberger 30 July 1477. Very Early Printing of the Bible and only the second Latin Bible printed by Koberger 51 lines and headline double column canon marginalia in the Gospels. With manuscript headlines in red a beautiful opening initial of 10 lines with elaborate flourishes that flow from the very top to very bottom of the page in red blue and green numerous 6 line initials in red and blue some with much longer extensions or flourishes a profusion of 3 line initials in red or blue red paragraph marks and additional rubricating throughout primarily in red. Royal folio 375 x 265mm approx in contemporary German blind-stamped pigskin over thick wood boards probably a Nuremberg binding the boards center-paneled and decorated in blind with a central tool within multiple borders remnants of brass catches on the fore-edge. Manuscript lettering to the spine with wide tall bands. 468 leaves complete. An unusually fine copy especially well preserved and very handsome indeed. An important copy with full contemporary binding intact and in great likelihood coming directly from Koberger’s workshop. A RARE AND EXTREMELY HANDSOME COPY ESPECIALLY WELL PRESERVED. THIS BOOK REPRESENTS ONLY THE SECOND TIME THAT KOBERGER PRINTED THE LATIN BIBLE. This printing was issued in the second year after the first printing of 1475. Anton Koberger was for a number of years the leading publisher/printer of his time. The total list of his printings for the forty years from 1473 to 1513 when he died comprises no less than two-hundred and thirty-six separate works including fifteen impressions of the Biblia Latina eight of which presented material differences of notes and commentaries which entitled them to be considered as distinct editions. "In the actual number of separate works issued Koberger was possibly equaled by one or more of his contemporaries but in respect to literary importance and costliness and in the beauty and excellence of the typography the Koberger publications were not equaled by any books of the time excepting the issues of Aldus in Venice" Putnam II p. 150.<br> This printing of Koberger’s Latin Bible was printed again in 1478 and is largely based on the Fust and Schoeffer edition of 1462. The tractate of Menardus is included which is a summary of the books of the Bible with a guide on how to best study them. It was first printed not after 1474. A beautiful example of the magnificent productions during the first generation of printed Bibles the state of preservation and the impressive German binding making it all the more so.

The penultimate leaf had only a fleuron at the foot of the page and the final leaf was blank. Arabesque title border and 198 with 1 repeat woodcuts in the text by Bernard Salomon. Title-page with faint early ink "ex-Libris petri ------ at top blank margin. Title-page expertly cleaned some occasional mainly marginal faint foxing otherwise a superb example of this wonderfully illustrated mid sixteenth-century Latin Bible. Bound ca. 1880 by Chambolle-Duru in full brown crushed levant morocco spine with five raised bands lettered in gilt gilt ruled board edges decorative gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers all edge gilt. Armorial bookplate "In Memori: Weiler Bibliotheca Trautner Falkiana" on verso of front free endpaper.<br /> <br /> First De Tournes Latin Bible based on Robert Estienne's text and beautifully illustrated with 198 woodcuts by Bernard Salomon. "Considerable work could be done on Salomon's sources for these cuts. The Expulsion from Paradise suggests Holbein's version; the New Testament shows some dependence on the set owned by Sébastien Gryphius. the Apocalypse blocks are enlarged copies of the fine Janot Apocalypse. But the cumulative effect of Salomon's carefully detailed scenes is that of an individual contribution to Bible illustration.

He would take over his family's Paris firm in 1526 where he printed significant works in Latin Greek Hebrew and other languages. His 1531 Thesaurus linguae latinae is considered a major milestone in lexicography. Despite his many commissions for the King religious tensions forced Estienne to flee to Geneva. <br /> <br /> This bible was illustrated by Bernard Salomon c.1508-1561 a French artist who is known for engravings and illustrations. Although little is known about his life his art reveals stylistic influences from Mannerism and the School of Fontainebleau executed in a detailed and small scale. Salomon is known to have collaborated with the printer Jean de Tournes and produced decoration for emblem books bibles and classic texts. Many of his engravings also appear as source material for art objects such as a Faience plate at the MET featuring the Sacrifice of Noah.<br /> <br /> Brunet I 876 & Supplement I 125; Darlow & Moule 6134 note; Mortimer French no. 81.
