Bond Dallas TX. Probably this is the Louis H. Silver d.1963 Chicago copy sold at Parke-Bernet Galleries Nov. 16 1965 sold to Carnegie Book Shop NY. The volume was described as "one vol. bound in 2 which was an oversight as the 2nd title is deep within the second vol. Silver was a lawyer engineer and Chicago hotel owner Gold Coast Hotels who was a trustee of the Newberry Library. The bulk of his collection was purchased through his agent the noted bookseller John F. Fleming and brought a reported NY Times May 15 1964 price of 2.75 million dollars. / The University of Texas Ransom Center reports: "In June of 1963 Silver was diagnosed with terminal cancer and enlisted Fleming's help in selling his substantial library. Silver had very specific demands for the sale—his library was to be sold en bloc and he should receive no less than $2.2 million for it. Fleming made contact with several auction houses but on October 27 1963 Silver died before any action towards a sale could be completed. Silver's estate represented by Clarence A. Beutel and Silver's wife Amy wanted the search for a buyer to continue according to Silver's specifications. / On November 15 1963 the University of Texas at Austin expressed interest in the collection. Fleming began negotiations with Dr. Harry Ransom Chancellor of the University of Texas at Austin. Within a month Ransom had $2.75 million in cash for the sale. Silver's estate though was feeling hesitant about the sale. The first problem was that they did not want to pay Fleming his $200000 commission. The second was that they felt pressured to keep the Silver Library in Illinois by selling it to the Newberry Library instead. In the end that is what the estate chose to do. On May 13 1964 the Newberry Library bought the Silver Library for $2.75 million. / Under Illinois law Fleming as a property broker should have earned his commission when he produced a ready willing and able buyer. There is no requirement that a sale with that buyer must occur. Since Fleming produced his buyer he requested his commission. When the Silver estate refused Fleming filed a lawsuit in Illinois on August 6 1964. The estate was granted summary judgment and the case was dismissed. The court found that since many of the books were damaged and the University of Texas did not examine the books prior to agreeing to buy them it would not have actually been willing to commit to the sale. Fleming appealed to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. In John F. Fleming Incorporated v. Beutel 395 F.2d 21 the appellate court remanded the case after finding that the lower court was incorrect in granting summary judgment. The appellate court ruled that when one was dealing with older books some damage was par for the course and so the buyer would have been willing to go through with the sale. However rather than continue the court battle Fleming settled out of court for $92000 on December 17 1968. / The Newberry Library took possession of the Silver Library and against Silver's wishes discarded one third of the books as surplus and auctioned them."

16767Single Leaf Page from Geneva Breeches Bible. 1597 Geneva Bible - Luke 7:10-8:34 - Christ's Mother & Brothers-London 1597. Over 400 Years Old Geneva Breech Bible Leaf 1 Imprinted at London By The Deputies of Christopher Baker Printer To The Queens Most Excellent Maieftie and Do 1597- The Book of Luke -Recto Has Luke 7:10 Through 48. Verso has Luke 7:49 Through 8:34 Leaf Measures 10 3/8" X 7 1/4 " Printed On Cotton Linen Paper Sometimes Called Rag Paper. The Geneva Bible is one of the most historically significant translations of the Bible into English preceding the King James Version by 51 years. It was the primary Bible of 16th-century English Protestantism and was the Bible used by William Shakespeare and Oliver Cromwell. It was one of the Bibles taken to America on the Mayflower. This version of the Bible is significant because for the very first time a mechanically printed mass-produced Bible was made available directly to the general public which came with a variety of scriptural study guides and aids collectively called an apparatus which included verse citations that allow the reader to cross-reference one verse with numerous relevant verses in the rest of the Bible introductions to each book of the Bible that acted to summarize all of the material that each book would cover maps tables woodcut illustrations and indices. The annotations which are an important part of the Geneva Bible were Calvinist and Puritan in character and as such they were disliked by the ruling pro-government Anglicans of the Church of England as well as King James I who commissioned the "Authorized Version" or King James Bible in order to replace it. Surprisingly the Geneva notes were included in a few editions of the King James version even as late as 1715. unknown books
