The Septuagint or the Koine Greek version of the Hebrew Bible is the earliest translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek appearing between the first and third centuries before Christ in Alexandria. Embraced by the Catholic Church which includes many of the texts that Reformed churches ignore or consider Apocryphral the authorised Papal version of the Septuagint was first produced in Rome 1587 under the reign of Pope Sixtus V. A direct by-product of the Council of Trent the production of the Septuagint was the suggestion of Cardinal Pole who encouraged making available the Bible in Hebrew and Greek as well as the Latin vulgate in order to counter charges of the Reformers. This edition was compiled by German oriental philologist and reformed theologian David Mill 1692-1756 and was published simultaneously in Amsterdam. Darlow and Moule 4736. First Millius edition. 8vo.

First edition second issue/state called the “she†Bible because of the reading of Ruth III 15: “she went into the citieâ€. In addition because of the small hole in C6 Matthew 26:36 it is impossible to tell whether the word Judas or Jesus is printed. The King James version of the Holy Bible is arguably the most important book ever published in English. Preparation of the Royal Version took more than 5 years and was laboriously attended to by over 50 translators and researchers. The final translations were then exchanged and reviewed reaching a final committee of six. Supervision of the printing was carried out by Miles Smith and Thomas Bilson. Although the Royal Version appropriates much from the Tyndale Coverdale Geneva and Bishops’ Bibles it is unquestionably regarded as the greatest literary translation of the Bible ever produced.

2868<p><strong>Very rare first separate edition of the Gospels printed during Catherine II's reign and mentioning her name when she had just become Russian Empress. </strong>We could trace no other copy oustide Russia whether in public institutions like at auction in recent decades; the only other copies we could find in Russia are at Russian State Library and the National Library of the Republic of Karelia - no copy at auction there either.</p><p><strong>Complete with its full-page copper engravings by two important masters and kept in a lovely velvet binding with fine silver ornaments.</strong></p><p>These large-format luxury Holy Gospels intended for use on the altar were printed by order of Tsarina Catherine II at the Moscow Synodal Printing House "the main centre for the production of Cyrillic printed books" at that time Vasileva our translation here and below. Each of the four Gospels begins with large historiated headpieces depicting the Annunciation Nativity Baptism and Resurrection intricate initials and full-page engravings of the Evangelists which are placed in intricate rocaille frames; all other pages are framed within linear borders. An unusual addition appears on leaf 394: a small woodcut crucifixion in the margin.</p><p>The remarkable full-page representations of the Evangelists are signed by the engraver Vasilei Ikonnikov and the artist Semen Vtorov two masters who "defined the style of illustrations of Cyrillic liturgical books in the second half of the century . and prepared a whole plethora of illustrators" Vasilieva. They received professional academic training before joining the Moscow Synodal Printing House's Drawing Chamber which had opened in 1756. Initially apprenticed they advanced to positions as engravers and tutors. Ikonnikov still an apprentice in 1762 had studied at the Slavic-Greco-Latin Academy and also trained in the engraving chamber of the Academy of Sciences.</p><p>Naming the new Empress this is the first separate edition of Gospels printed during Catherine's rule which had just begun that year 1762. A complete edition of the Old and New Testament had appeared just a couple of months earlier in September 1762; and the first edition of our Gospels published in 1757 didn't mention Catherine as she hadn't ascended to the throne yet. This 1757 edition is also very rare with only two known copies located: also in the Russian State Lib. and Kolomenskoe Museum Estate. Our 1762 edition was followed by several more editions republished with minimal changes over the next years and decades including a slightly more common edition in July 1763 the Fekula copy now in the NYPL for example.</p><p>The present rather fresh example is kept in a pleasant red velvet binding with nicely preserved metal repoussé silver mountings on both sides. On the recto four shaped corner pieces depict the Evangelists—John Matthew Luke and Mark positioned clockwise from the top left—surrounding a central roundel with Christ enthroned. On the verso a finely chased and engraved cross occupies the centre with four floral cornerpieces. Each Evangelist is set within an elaborate interior rendered in varied textures alongside their symbolic beasts including the especially curious anthropomorphic ox of St Luke and the very bestial lion of St Mark complemented by baroque ornaments along the borders.</p><p>Description<br />Folio 38.6 x 23.3 cm. Title and 457 ll. printed in red and black incl. four full-page copper engravings by Ikonnikov after Vtorov dated 1757 Matthew Mark and John and 1758 Luke with five historiated wooduct headpieces vignettes large initials and borders.<br />Binding<br />Contemporary red velvet over wooden boards boards with silver and brass repoussé mountings in corners and centres of boards silver pieces of upper cover with contemporary hallmarks probably from Iaroslav spine with raised bands.<br />Condition<br />Wormholes and minor losses on spine velvet rubbed at extremities a few small stains on boards without buckles mountings on lower board replaced; marginal light soiling and staining more so on the last few leaves two leaves with closed tears last leaves with small puncture contemporary ownership inscription at the bottom of the last page overall a crisp example.<br />Bibliography<br />Vasileva L.

16353642A very scarce edition of the Louvain version of the Bible printed in Troyes by Nicolas Oudot the younger of the two founder brothers of the dynasty of printers in Troyes. It is a small format printing consequently a fairly chunky book which is illustrated throughout with charming woodcut illustrations. The BN has a later edition published by Nicolas Oudot Troyes 1678 which is also the Louvain version edited by François Véron and revised by Antoine Girodon Chambers 1453. While this copy has suffered rather rough and ready solutions to maintaining its integrity - no easy matter considering its considerable girth - it remains an appealing object if not one in original condition. Internally it is fairly clean and the woodcut illustrations are charming.<br /><br /><i>Small 8vo 115 x 90 mm pp. xii 971 37 numerous part-page woodcut illustrations throughout the text lightly browned throughout</i> <i>in contemporary vellum covered with later marbled paper and cloth backing: a workaday and rather ugly solution but sound with early manuscript notes on the front endpaper and the ownership inscription of John Wasley on the rear endpaper.</i> <br /> Chez Nicolas Oudot, demeurant en la ruë nostre Dame

"There are many editions bearing this date which while agreeing closely are yet distinct . the phenomena of the various editions described under the year 1599 and the very similar edition of 1633 constitute one of the most curious problems in the bibliography of the English Bible." Genesis 3:7 with "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." Octavo two volumes bound into one in full paneled calf hand-embossing to the front and rear panels original silk and cloth ribbons woodcut title pages and initials.

In good condition rebacked contemporary names and inscriptions to several pages. A very rare and desirable example of the Breeches Bible. Upon Queen Mary’s accession in 1553 “publication of the English Bible ceased in England. Many Protestants who fled to the Continent were attracted to Calvin’s Geneva. Among these exiles were eminent English Bible scholars who began work on a new translation†The Bible: 100 Landmarks 62. First published in 1560 the Geneva Bible—often called the “Breeches Bible†for its unique rendering of Genesis 3:7—was “more scholarly than any previous translation… It achieved immediate popularity and exerted an extremely powerful influence… The Geneva Version included prefaces maps and tables; and for the first time in an English Bible the verses were divided and numbered… It has been more properly called the Elizabethan family Bible since it was this version which was the first to enter the English home†PMM 83. “It became the textus receptus for the Puritan element in England. It was read by Shakespeare Bunyan and the soldiers of the Civil War and is thus of cardinal importance for its influence on the English language literature and thought†Great Books and Book Collectors 105-8.
