187642309Hartford Connecticut: American Publishing Company 1876. 4to. 9 1/2 x 6 1/4 inches. 2 892 pp. Old Testament; 276 pp. New Testament. Original publisher’s brown pebble-grain cloth blind stamped boards spine and upper cover lettered in gilt<br/> <br/> First edition of the first complete English Bible translated by a woman a touchstone of American printing feminism and religious scholarship in the original publisher's binding.<br/> <br/> Born in Glastonbury Connecticut in 1792 Julia Evelina Smith taught herself Latin Greek Hebrew and French while earning a living as a schoolteacher and later as an outspoken abolitionist and suffragist. In 1843 she began to test the English Bible against the originals and soon resolved as she writes in her preface "to put the same English word for the same Hebrew or Greek word everywhere.It may seem presumptuous for an ordinary woman with no particular advantages of education to translate and publish alone the most wonderful book that has ever appeared in the world.It took me about seven years to accomplish the five translations." Working verse by verse Smith produced five complete drafts twice from Greek twice from Hebrew once from Latin finishing in 1855. When commercial publishers declined to issue so unconventional a text she underwrote the project herself consigning it to Hartford's American Publishing Company in the nation's centennial year. The resulting volume is the first complete English Bible translated by a woman and remains the only one executed single-handedly without editorial committee or co-translator. Smith's method is uncompromisingly literal: Hebrew tense shifts and Greek word order are preserved even when the English prose becomes rugged. The translation therefore offers modern readers an unfiltered view of the underlying languages and stands in pointed contrast to the smoother interpretive revisions then underway in Britain and America. Earlier centuries had seen only partial female forays into Scripture such as Anne Locke's 1560 sonnet-cycle on Psalm 51 and the Countess of Pembroke's masterly completion of the Sidney Psalter after her brother's death but none covered the full canon. Smith's 1876 Bible stands today as both a landmark of American print culture and a quiet declaration of intellectual equality.<br/> <br/> Simms The Bible in America pp. 149-50; Stanton The Woman's Bible p. 151; Notable American Women 1607-1950: A Biographical Dictionary.

121550Paris Imprimerie Royale For the British and Foreign Bible Society 1827. . First edition two parts in one vol. the complete Bible 996 pp. Old Testament 7pp. errata; 318 pp. New Testament 3pp. errata large 4to 26 x 21 cm; text printed entirely in Ottoman Turkish Osmanli in vocalised Arabic typeface bookplates removed from lower board internally clean and crisp condition; contemporary blind-tooled calf edges and spine ends skillfully repaired overall a very handsome copy.<br /> Scarce complete first Ottoman Turkish edition of the Bible published in paris.<br /><br />Based on the translation of Wojciech Bobowski known as Ali Bey 16101675 and referred to as the 'Kitab'i Mukaddes' Holy Bible this text was the first complete Turkish translation of the Bible including both the Old and New Testaments and became the basis for later Turkish translations used by Armenian and Greek Christians. The text was printed in Arabic character with full vocalisation in an edition of 5000 copies of the complete Bible and 2000 issues of the New Testament printed separately. The aesthetic and elegant type are notably those used by the Imprimerie Royale in Paris reminiscent of many important early Arabic and Turkish publications from Napoleonic Egypt at the turn of the nineteenth-century.<br /><br />In 1820 J. D. Kieffer became the first Agent of the B. F. B. S. in France and in the same year he began a thorough revision of Ali Bey's translation of the Bible comparing it with the original texts as well as with the standard English French and German versions. The translation of this edition of the New Testament was carefully revised in view of the criticism passed on the 1819 edition of the same apparently the earliest Arab-Turkish edition of the New Testament in Osmanli.

The press was initially established to promote Christianity in the Near East so they focused on translations of Christian texts in Arabic and Syriac. This Bible translation was edited by the renowned orientalist Giovanni Battista Raimondi 1536-1614 whose extensive travels around the Middle East had given him a comprehensive knowledge of Arabic Armenian Syriac and Hebrew languages. He and the French engraver Robert Granjon who is responsible for the elegant Arabic typography of the press formed a formidable team and together created a method for publishing texts in Arabic that 'bettered all previous attempts to print in Arabic in Europe and would remain unsurpassed long after the press had closed' Boogert Medici Oriental Press Rome 1584-1614.<br /><br />Two varying editions of this work were published in very quick succession: there is the Arabic-only text which has some Latin on the title page and in the colophon only which bears the date 1590 on the title page and 1591 in the colophon and then there is an Arabic-Latin edition with interlinear translation to Latin throughout which was printed with the date 1591 on the title page. The work with the earlier date on the title and the text entirely in Arabic as seen in the present example is widely considered the true first edition of the work.<br /> Rome, Typographia Medicea, 1590 [1591]. hardcover
