16084431London: Robert Barker 1608. A very nice copy of a Breeches Bible published by Robert Barker in 1608. Contains: A general title; The Old Testament but no separate Old Testament Title page; The New Testament With Title; Revelation ; 2 Concordances With separate title stating that these were collected by R.F.H. ; Book of Psalms Separate title state that they were collected by Thomas Sternehold & John Hopkins. Bound in full 20th century mottled calf. Plain new endpapers. 4 raised bands to spine blind decorations to compartments. Board edges patterned. Black and gilt label & titles to spine. All title pages present. Final 3 pages Psalms with very old repairs and one page inserted out of order. Psalms complete but Creed incomplete at end of book So ends at page 92. All sections dated 1608. Robert Barker. The noted issues with this copy are: f68 marked as f96; f173 with pasted down border note; f329 last of Ezekiel misbound in Daniel; f330 present but with loss of a large are of text; f434 mispaginated as f435; f435 has large ink stain to verso; f464 small closed tear; f483 torn with some loss; f490 mispaginated as f499; f534 complete but torn; Book of Psalms: 1st 10 pages unpaginated; p28 mispaginated as p27; p86 mispaginated as p66; pps 87/88 exchanged with pps 89/90; The final two leaves have been repaired and the final leaf with moderate loss to the edges. As is inevitable with a Bible of this age there are also tiny tears nicks and edgewear and a general darkening of the pages nevertheless s a very nice example. This edition of the Geneva Bible received the nickname Breeches Bible because on its erroneous translation of Genesis Chapter 3 Verse 7. The text reads: 'Then the eyes of them both were opened and they knew that they were naked and they sewed figge tree leaves together and made themselves breeches.' Each page is numbered to the recto only if at all so these are actually leaf numbers so we refer to fn. To confuse matters further the book of psalms numbers each page not leaf. Full collation: ii 1-554 1-98 1-91.pp Collation: lacks blank q1 q2-Zzz10 A-L2 A-G3. Our copy substantially conforms to Darlow & Moule 225a. The states that it is substantially a close reprint of the 1605 quarto with text ending on fo.554 as does ours for the OT and NT and with Gen. i. 3: 'Then God Sayd.' 240 by 170mm 9½ by 6¾ inches. . Très bel exemplaire d'une Bible en culotte de cheval publiée par Robert Barker en 1608. Contient : Un titre général ; l'Ancien Testament mais pas de page de titre séparée pour l'Ancien Testament ; le Nouveau Testament avec un titre ; l'Apocalypse ; 2 concordances avec un titre séparé indiquant qu'elles ont été rassemblées par R.F.H. ; le Livre des Psaumes avec un titre séparé indiquant qu'elles ont été rassemblées par Thomas Sternehold & John Hopkins. Reliure en plein veau moucheté du 20e siècle. Les pages de garde sont neuves et unies. 4 bandes surélevées au dos décorations aveugles sur les compartiments. Bords de la planche à motifs. Étiquette et titres noirs et dorés au dos. Toutes les pages de titre sont présentes. Les 3 dernières pages Psaumes avec de très vieilles réparations et une page insérée dans le désordre. Les Psaumes sont complets mais le Credo est incomplet à la fin du livre il se termine à la page 92. Toutes les sections sont datées de 1608. Robert Barker. Les problèmes notés dans cet exemplaire sont : f68 marqué comme f96 ; f173 avec une note de bordure collée ; f329 dernière page d'Ezéchiel mal reliée à Daniel ; f330 présent mais avec perte d'une grande partie du texte ; f434 mal paginé comme f435 ; f435 a une grande tache d'encre au verso ; f464 petite déchirure fermée ; f483 déchiré avec une certaine perte ; f490 mal paginé comme f499 ; f534 complet mais déchiré ; Livre des Psaumes : Les 10 premières pages ne sont pas paginées ; p28 mal paginée comme p27 ; p86 mal paginée comme p66 ; pps 87/88 échangées avec pps 89/90 ; Les deux derniers feuillets ont été réparés et le dernier feuillet avec une perte modérée sur les bords. Comme c'est inévitable avec une Bible de cet âge il y a aussi de petites déchirures des entailles et un assombrissement général des pages mais c'est un très bel exemplaire. Cette édition de la Bible de Genève a reçu le surnom de Bible à culotte en raison de sa traduction erronée du chapitre 3 verset 7 de la Genèse. Le texte se lit comme suit : Les yeux de l'un et de l'autre s'ouvrirent et ils connurent qu'ils étaient nus. Ils cousirent ensemble des feuilles de figuier et se firent une culotte. Chaque page n'étant numérotée qu'au recto voire pas du tout il s'agit en fait de numéros de feuilles nous nous référons donc à fn. Pour compliquer encore les choses le livre des psaumes numérote chaque page et non chaque feuille. Collation complète : ii 1-554 1-98 1-91.pp Collation : manque le blanc q1 q2-Zzz10 A-L2 A-G3. Notre exemplaire est en grande partie conforme à Darlow & Moule 225a. Il s'agit d'une réimpression proche du quarto de 1605 avec le texte se terminant sur fo.554 comme le nôtre pour l'AT et le NT et avec Gen. i. 3 : 'Then God Sayd.' 240 par 170mm 9½ par 6¾ pouces.

1540T75<p><strong>Summary</strong></p><p>Pulpit Folio 14.25" x 10.25". An early folio of the second edition of the Great Bible with all five title pages. A beautifully rebound copy with first ownership provenance of a famous knight merchant and mayor of the city of London.</p><p><strong>Description </strong></p><p>General title page 1541 printed in red and black featuring Henry VIII above distributing his <em>Verbum Dei</em> to Cromwell and Cranmer God barely squeezed in among the clouds at the top. Archbishop Cranmer on the left distributing the Bible to the clergy and the Cromwell on the right is distributing the Bible to the nobility. Below the people are without Bibles as the Great Bible was chained to pulpits and proclaim only <em>Vivat Rex</em> aside from the few who are imprisoned on the bottom right. Calendar also printed in red and black. Text in two column black letter with 62 lines to the full column. The beginning of each chapter features a floriated or historiated woodcut initial with occasional metal cast capitals. Title pages to the second third and fourth parts also printed in red and black bordered by the relevant woodcuts to that section. The New Testament title page n.d. in red and black like the general title except that Cromwell's arms are removed. Concludes with <em>The Table.</em></p><p><strong>Collation</strong></p><p>6 a-k8 l4 first part A-N8 O4 second part Aa-Pp8 Qq4 third part Aaa-Hhh8 Iii6 fourth part Aa-Nn8 -Nn6-8 New Testament. <strong><em>Lacks</em></strong> the final leaf of Revelation and two leaves of the Tables provided in expert facsimile. All titles are present.</p><p><strong>Binding</strong></p><p>Rebound in period appropriate back calf. Boards paneled in gilt with gilt rolls and corner fleurons around a central arabesque design. Spine with six blind-lined raised bands and elaborate gilt tooling to compartments. A red gilt-lined morocco label with the words "Holy Bible" and a date of 1540 lettered in gilt to the foot.

William Allyn 1515-1586 was a prominent London merchant and Lord Mayor 1555–56. The location where Cromwell's arms are removed on the NT title bears a merchant's device dated 1574.</p><p><strong>Note</strong></p><p>An impressive copy of the scarce Great Bible so called due to its imposing size. This copy like many from the first seven editions is issued in a mixed state. The general title is from April 1540 but Genesis 1 and Matthew 1 from May 1541. The New Testament title page is also from a 1541 copy as Cromwell's arms are removed. The few small flaws notwithstanding this is an attractive copy of an almost complete early Great Bible that is becoming increasingly scarce in commerce.</p><p><strong>References</strong></p><p>Herbert 53; STC 2070; Luborsky and Ingram 2070.</p> Edward Whytchurche hardcover

Contemporary/original mottled calf spines gilt and gilt-lettered. A bit dry and worn but quite sound.<br /> <br /> § A lovely quarto edition of the Bible in Latin and French also issued in 8vo -- this is much the more preferable version. The plates and maps are outstanding and the physical feat of printing all seventeen volumes in six years is astonishing. Complete sets in commerce are surprisingly scarce though widely held by institutions. Brunet I 888: "Ce livre connu sous le nom de Bible de Vence mais qui devrait plutôt porter celui de Rondet son éditeur est fort estimé." Not in Darlow and Moule under Latin or French. unknown

One of 500 copies on paper twelve copies on vellum were also produced printed by C.T Jacobi and published for the Medici Society by Philip Lee Warner. Original full limp vellum binding titled in gilt and retaining the original fore-edge ties. Quarto. xv 1 88 pp. Printed on handmade paper in the signature Riccardi Press typeface.

Ink gift inscription dated 1918 and mid-twentieth century ink ownership signature to upper flyleaf. A Fine bright copy.<br /> <br /> Frederick Cayley Robinson 1862 - 1927 was an accomplished painter and illustrator. His painting The Death of Abel held at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris is considered his most enduring work. "This work was the source of an illustration for The Book of Genesis published by the Riccardi Press in 1914; together with another masterpiece The Death of Rachel it constitutes his finest achievement as a book illustrator" ODNB. Robinson's illustrations for The Book of Genesis epitomize his melancholy style which reflected the influence of both ornate art deco aesthetics and the somber clarity of the Symbolist movement. Fine. Philip Lee Warner, Publisher to the Medici Society unknown

It was richly illustrated by James Fittler 1758-1835 an esteemed British engraver of portraits and landscapes who served as marine engraver to King George III. He produced illustrations for the Boydell Shakespeare and Dibdin's Aedes Althorpinae. In this edition Fittler based his engravings on Old Master paintings befitting the gravity of the text. The printer Thomas Bentley produced large editions for Thomas Macklin Rudolph Ackermann and Paul Colnaghi all publishers of plate books; he also printed several of the earliest books for the Roxburghe Club.<br /> <br /> ESTC lists three editions of the Bowyer and Fittler Bible: this one which ESTC describes as the large paper edition; the regular two-volume quarto edition also 1795; and a: two-volume twelvemo edition 1796 which was issued in parts.

Charles Neat who met with an unlucky end just three years after his parishioners presented him with this thoughtful gift see below. Royal Cornwall Gazette 6 July 1838 Death of the Rev. Charles Neat MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Tuesday last the Rev. Charles Neat was proceeding from Penzance to St. Ives to hold a Church Missionary Meeting; when near Halse-town the horse he was driving took fright and the reverend gentleman with his servant was thrown out from the gig. Mr. Neat we regret to say fell on his head and fractured the base of his skull and received other very serious injuries. The accident occurred about five o'clock and shortly after the Rev. Mr. Havart of St. Ives arrived with medical assistance.- Every thing that skill could devise and kindness dictate was promptly done; but was of no avail. Mr. Neat lingered in a state of insensibility till half past one o'clock on Wednesday morning when it pleased God to take him to his reward. He had preached on Sunday afternoon in St. Ives Church to a very large congregation; and very many were preparing to attend the Missionary Meeting on Tuesday evening when this mysterious providence prevented their assembling. Mr. Neat has left a widow and one son to deplore his untimely loss. The servant received no injury. The horse ran into the town about a mile and a half distant but did no further mischief. Royal Cornwall Gazette 13 July 1838 ST IVES. The funeral of the Rev. Chas. Neat whose melancholy death we announced last week took place on Tuesday the 10th instant. His remains were borne to the grave by ten of the most respectable Gentlemen of St. Ives; and followed by his afflicted son and many of the neighbouring clergy. Upwards of 3000 persons were present and with that decorum which a people so religious and right-minded would be sure to exhibit upon an occasion so solemn and touching. The beautiful service of our church was read with great feeling and propriety by the Rev. Wm. Havart the perpetual curate of St. Ives. Among the clergymen present to pay their last tribute of respect we observed the Rev. T. Vyvyan of Penzance; U. Tonkin of Lelant; H. E. Graham of Ludgvan; H. Rogers of Camborne; - Townsend of Marazion; H. Pinnock of Madron; Zennor; F. Bazeley of St. Dominick; Browne of Penzance &c. &c.-Mr. Neat was 44 years of age; although many of our readers may have considered him much older; his long residence abroad having considerably altered his appearance.

Bazeley of St. Dominick; - Browne of Penzance &c. &c. - Mr. Neat was 44 years of age; although many of our readers may have considered him much older; his long residence abroad having considerable altered his appearance.

17631230541763. Cambridge: Printed by John Baskerville Printer to the University 1763. <br /> <br /> Royal folio 573 unnumbered leaves. A2 1 B-13D2 a-e2 f1. English binding of contemporary full blue-green morocco covers with elaborate gilt border backstrip richly gilt with red morocco lettering pieces stamped in gilt "HOLY BIBLE" and at the foot "BASKERVILLE" gilt edges marbled endpapers. Inevitable slight signs of wear on such a huge book but in all a very good unrestored copy internally flawless.<br /> <br /> § First edition of Baskerville's masterwork in a magnificent contemporary English binding. Third issue of the subscribers' list as usual. "John Baskerville was a monumental figure in the history of English bookbinding and printing with contemporary accounts of his work ethic revealing a man deeply engaged in virtually every aspect of book production. Yet for most of his life and indeed for many decades afterwards he was decried as a mere amateur. Still other sources show an individual with highly idiosyncratic and paradoxical habits -- he lived with Sarah Eaves for nearly two decades out of wedlock; a devout atheist who was buried in his own backyard without Christian ceremony; a man who 'had wit but always against religion and decency'" F.E. Pardoe in John Baskerville of Birmingham: Letter-Founder and Printer 1975. <br /> <br /> Paradoxically after taking the position of Printer to the University of Cambridge on 1 December 1758 Baskerville produced one of the few great Bibles. It is a true masterwork expertly printed with impeccable attention to ink type spacing paper quality and ease of use. Published on 4 July 1763 "the adjective that inevitably comes to mind is 'noble' and the volume warrants the word. It was conceived and executed on a grand scale. to show that he had now learnt his craft and was able to practice it in a masterly fashion. and the result shows again that Baskerville must be placed in the very top rank of book designers" Pardoe 87. Morison and Day The Typographic Book 1963 write that "Baskerville's folio English Bible printed for the University of Cambridge is the finest presentation of Holy Writ since Richelieu's Latin Vulgate printed at the Imprimerie Royal" 48.

19677101<p>New York: Braziller 1967 Bound in quarter vellum over red cloth boards title in gilt on spine and a twenty-four page introductory text in gray wrappers. . Two volumes folio including a complete facsimile of the Lorsch Gospels from the Biblioteca Documentara Batthyaneum in Alba Julia Rumania and the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana in Rome. Both in fine condition in publisher's cloth slipcase. One of 1000 copies. Includes six color engravings from photographs by Robert Braunmüller and many color-printed plates though most of the production consists of high-quality monochrome plates. After centuries of separation the four parts which comprise the Lorsch Gospels were united in the Coronation Hall of the Holy Roman Empire in Aachen Germany on the occasion of the 1965 exhibition of the Council of Europe "Charlemagne: His Achievements and Influence." The respective owners cooperated to photograph the entire manuscript and the ivory covers during the exhibition. Thus a foundation was laid for the reconstruction of the manuscript in this fine facsimile edition which must serve in the place of a unified whole.</p> Braziller, hardcover
