Royal quarto 1310 pages contemporary blindstamped full sheep repaired joints and head and foot spine panels replaced and with new endpapers; The frontispiece has been tipped-in on the new endpaper; rear cover very scuffed foxing and spots throughout edgeworn a few minor marginal tears and chips some leaves imperfectly sewn in.

Badger 1834-36. & Charles Jacobs of Gilmanton. Isaiah Thomas whom Benjamin Franklin called 'the Baskerville of America' was one of the notable publishers during the early days of the Republic.He made every effort to ensure accuracy of the text by comparing some thirty different editions and having the text carefully examined by several clergymen and others who compared it with eight Bibles - Herbert 1353." The First Illustrated Bible printed in America is the 1791 folio Bible by Isaiah Thomas "The most sumptuous American Bible of the eighteenth century" : thus this quarto-sized version of that work is the Second Illustrated Bible printed in America and the first Royal Quarto Bible in English published in American both editions were announced as "completed" on the same date altho vol. 2 of the folio was still in progress. Rumball-Petre 172; Sabin 5173 variant; O'Callaghan pp. 40-42; Hills 30. Evans 23185 states that some copies were issued with no Concordance and 48 additional plates. This state however has only two copperplates as frontispieces of the 50 copperplate engravings from the folio edition plates 29 & 48 . Included are 200 pages of Tables Apocrypha and Family Records Index etc. The subscription price was $7 but half the price could be paid in wheat rye Indian corn butter or pork! It is believed that 1500 copies of each format were printed. "The two Thomas Bibles of 1791 were without doubt far in advance of any other publications of the same kind that had appeared in America in point of typography excellence of paper binding and general execution - Wright EARLY BIBLES OF AMERICA."

1735ST18632Amsterdam: Petrus Shenk 1735-38. First Edition in Dutch. 415 x 264 mm. 16 3/8 x 10 3/8". Entirely complete with continuous pagination but with a jump in page numbering from the end of book XIII to the beginning of XIV as usual. 15 parts in eight volumes. Translated by Florentius H. J. van Halen. HANDSOME CONTEMPORARY VELLUM covers with large gilt entrelac centerpiece framed with gilt floral rule with bouquet-like cornerpieces gilt floral border raised bands compartments richly gilt titles and volume numbers handwritten in ink on spines all edges gilt. With head- and tailpieces 15 engraved titles printed in red and black with engraved vignettes and complete with frontispiece two engraved portraits of the author and the engraver the latter with shorter margins probably tipped-in and 760 OFTEN STRIKING COPPER ENGRAVINGS on 758 plates one with partial hand coloring a few double-page. Front pastedown of first volume with handwritten note in French on lined paper; with additional black & white title to first work erroneously dated 1728. Nissen ZBI 3661; see also: Faber du Faur "German Baroque Literature" p. 472. Trivial soiling to the vellum the seventh volume with a faint marginal dampstain affecting a few quires but not touching engravings the odd negligible blemish but AN OUTSTANDING SET the very attractive original bindings showing only insignificant wear and THE CONTENTS ESPECIALLY FRESH AND CLEAN THROUGHOUT WITH VERY FINE IMPRESSIONS OF THE PLATES. This is the first Dutch translation of Scheuchzer's "Sacred Nature" one of the most splendid German illustrated books of the 18th century presenting what surely is the most impressive combination of biblical exegesis and scientific illustration to be found in any printed book. First published in 1731-35 as the "Physica Sacra" in Latin and as the "Kupfer-Bibel" in German so-named for the amazing array of copperplate engravings this work is arranged according to the progression of books in the Bible citing passages from those chapters where phenomena from the natural world are mentioned. The typical pattern here includes a textual citation followed by the author's often lengthy remarks on the passage and in many cases a dramatic engraving to illustrate what is said. The plates are identical to the earlier editions retaining the inscriptions in Latin and German and are the work of Johann-Melchior Fuseli of the well-known Zurich family of 18th and 19th century artists. The engraved scenes are always executed with great skill are generally very animated and are often fascinating. Of the 760 images meant to illustrate the text many are strictly or primarily depictions of biblical scenes; several are simply illustrations of specimens of nature; and a large number perhaps half offer a kind of combination. An example of this last type includes a wonderful scene showing the birth of Man as related in Genesis 1:26-27 depicting not only a startled Adam in his fecund paradise but also 10 images of fetuses placentas and the skeletons of children attached like mounted specimens to the architectural frame of the illustration. According to Faber du Faur it is in this work that "the Baroque attains philosophically as well as artistically its high point and its conclusion. It is the last of those elegant works which do not really contain illustrations to a text but which are in effect composed of splendid plates with a text to accompany them." Scheuchzer 1672-1733 was a prolific naturalist who promoted at every opportunity the most modern scientific ideas though without wanting to risk the accusation of being irreverent. He says that the present work represents an attempt at finding a harmony between reason and revelation though it can also be seen as an effort to promulgate progressive theories under the venerable cloak of biblical commentary. The bibliographies disagree about the number of plates that ought to be present in this work and in other editions but ours corresponds to copies previously sold at auction as complete. Copies of the "Physica Sacra" and its translations show up regularly for sale but almost never does one see the work both complete and as here with a clean and fresh text in remarkably well-preserved and attractive contemporary bindings.

AFBEELDINGEN DER MERKWAARDIGSTE GESCHIEDENISSEN VAN HET OUDE EN NIEUWE TESTAMENTI IMAGES OF THE MOST REMARKABLE STORIES OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT

1790ST19326Amsterdam: H. Keyzer H. Gartman en W. Vermandel 1790. 555 x 345 mm. 21 7/8 x 13 3/4". 2 p.l. 62 folding plates. Attractive late 19th or early 20th century retrospective polished brown calf by L. Guétant stamp-signed in gilt on tail of spine double gilt-ruled border floral cornerpieces raised bands spine panels with scrolling floral borders and central flower ornament gilt titling. With title vignette and 62 ENGRAVED FOLDING PLATES ALL WITH BEAUTIFUL HAND COLORING AND HIGHLIGHTED WITH GOLD depicting Bible scenes from the Old and New Testament 61 of which are by Jan Luyken. A Large Paper Copy. For earlier editions: Graesse IV p. 308; Brunet III 1245-46; Klaversma & Hannema 159-164. Light rubbing to joints and edges boards just a little marked trivial foxing and faint spots here and there but A REMARKABLY FINE COPY the binding lustrous and showing little wear the paper extremely bright and fresh the margins immense and the paint and gold unusually vibrant. The marvelous illustrations of Dutch engraver and poet Jan Luyken comprise this collection of "remarkable stories" from the Bible each depicted with panoramic grandeur and enhanced with a wide range of finely applied colors and gold. Luyken 1649-1712 had written and illustrated erotic poetry as a young man but later became a devout Pietist after reading the works of German mystic Jakob Böhme. He became a member of the Baptist Church in 1673 and thereafter devoted his talents to producing religious works. The vast scenes here are notable in their scale detail and animation. There are a number of battle scenes from the Old Testament as well as dramatic depictions of the plagues and a fascinating episode from the histories of Josephus depicting Herod's soldiers being lowered down the side of a cliff in large boxes suspended from chains in order to attack the thieves hiding in caverns on the cliffside. There is a majestic portrayal of the Queen of Sheba arriving at the court of Solomon a peaceful scene of Adam naming the beasts in the Garden of Eden and a festive celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles. New Testament scenes include a terrifying final judgment a blinding conversion of St. Paul and scenes from that Apostle's travels. The engravings have one common trait: they are heavily populated whether by men or beasts and one of Luyken's special gifts is to render every person in the crowd as an individual with his own concerns and reactions to the events at hand. The engravings while already greatly pleasing in black and white are even more stirring and memorable when seen in the full color and gold used here. Expansive tableaus are given greater definition and clarity and events such as Noah’s flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah are rendered even more successful in expressing the awesome powers of the Almighty. The illustrations are quite definitely Protestant in point of view: there are no depictions of the Virgin Mary not even a Nativity scene. Except for engravings of the Annunciation to the Shepherds and the Massacre of the Holy Innocents the illustrations focus on Jesus as an adult and on the work of his Apostles spreading the gospel. There were earlier editions containing Luyken's 62 large plates which originally appeared without text as here in 1708 and they appeared again with a text in Dutch in 1729 and in French in 1732. Copies of these editions appear with some regularity in the marketplace but are usually not colored and are often found incomplete or with other major condition issues. We can trace no record in RBH or OCLC of a copy of our 1790 edition and we can find nothing that compares with the quality of coloring and grand height attained by the monumental margins seen here.

First Edition. 48 engraved plates complete. 1310 2 89 3pp. Separate OT and NT titles. The family register between the Apocrypha and NT unaccomplished. Royal quarto. Thomas' quarto bible was published in three distinct issues: with 2 copperplates only i.e. frontispieces to the Old and New Testaments; with two copperplates and John Brown's 89-page concordance in the rear; and the rarest and most deluxe form as here with 48 copperplates and the concordance. Of this last issue according to Thomas's catalogue the work was published "in elegant binding." The explanation for the work being complete with 48 plates rather than the 50 plates of the folio Thomas bible of the same year is easily explained: the frontispieces used for the folio bible plates I and XXXIII were too large for the quarto edition and thus were omitted with plates XXIX and XLVIII used as frontispieces of the quarto bible instead. A very difficult edition to find in a contemporary unsophisticated binding. Evans 23185; Hills 30; ESTC W4496 Isaiah Thomas unknown

Contemporary calf panelled in gilt and blind spine with raised bands in six compartments tooled in gilt on either side of each band red and black morocco labels expert repairs. Moderate to heavy foxing repaired tears to text leaves and plates. First Edition of Isaiah Thomas's Folio Bible. 50 engraved plates. 4 460; 2 461-1012pp. Text in two columns. 2 vols. Folio. "The two Thomas Bibles of 1791 were without doubt far in advance of any other publications of the same kind that had appeared in America in point of typography excellence of paper binding and general execution" Wright. Dubbed "the Baskerville of America" by Benjamin Franklin Isaiah Thomas issued a folio and a quarto Bible almost simultaneously. Published immediately after the ratification of the Bill of Rights the folio edition arguably his magnum opus opens with a note from Thomas situating it as an important accompaniment to this national development: "The civil authority hath set an example of moderation and candor to all Christians by securing equal privileges to all; and it must be their ardent and united wish independently of foreign aid to be supplied with copies of the sacred Scriptures the foundation of their Religion - a religion which furnishes motives to the faithful performance of every patriotic civil and social duty." In preparing the work Thomas compared the language of "not less than eight" significant English Bibles most but not all of which were printings of the King James translation and then had every page of the present edition examined by "the Clergymen of Worcester and . other capable persons." In keeping with his patriotism all the plates are by American engravers an expensive undertaking: the majority by Joseph Seymour with others by John Norman Samuel Hill and Amos Doolittle. It is unusual to find complete copies with all fifty plates. The plate list often lacking is present in this copy. The work was issued either in one volume or in two volumes as here the latter including an additional general title page for the second volume bound in as a cancel. A celebrated American Bible from one of the young country's most important printers. Evans 23186; Hills 29; ESTC W4497; Sabin 5172; Wright Early American Bibles pages 74-88 Isaiah Thomas unknown

Provenance: General Theological Seminary perforated stamps bookplate other markings. Paper box. Text in two columns. 1170pp. 12mo. A rare early American bible advertised as the "first American pocket bible" being Young's second edition of the bible complete with metrical psalms following his edition from a different setting of 1790 Evans 22345; Hills 25. That bible was advertised for sale by Young in Dunlap's American Daily Advertise in May 1791 as "lately published" at the price of "6-1/2 dollars cash and 7 if entered on account." Although both that bible and the present edition are duodecimo the former is larger in both height and width and the 1791 advertisement continues by noting that "An edition of the Bible in pocket size is now in the press." The present Bible would be advertised in Philadelphia newspapers in September and October 1792 as "now in the press the first American edition of the Pocket Bible . printed on fine paper with good type." Small-format American bibles published less than a decade after the Aitken bible are rare and this would appear to be the smallest bible in English published in America to date.

Novum Testamentum. Juxta Exemplar Millianum. Typis Joannis Baskerville.

17632548Oxonii Oxford: E Typographeo Clarendoniano 1763. 8vo pp. iv 676. Near-contemporary tree calf spine elaborately gilt in compartments red morocco label marbled endpapers edges yellow. Some light toning and spotting. Expertly rebacked by Bernard Middleton with old backstrip laid down hinges relined. An attractive copy. In 1758 Baskerville proposed the casting of a new set of Greek types to the Oxford University Press and they ordered 2000 copies of this octavo New Testament plus 500 in quarto to be printed with the resulting type - which ended up being its only use. Negative critical reception may have contributed to its abandonment but Baskerville’s Greek face has recently been reassessed by Gerry Leonidas as an important predecessor of more modern types if perhaps not quite as elegant as that used by the Foulis press that had fallen afoul of an arbitrary typographic orthodoxy.

The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments: Newly Translated out of the Original Tongues And with the former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised. By His Majesty's Special Command. Appointed to be Read in Churches

172749773Oxford: John Basket 1727. Hardcover. Folio. Modern rebind in black leatherette with gilt spine lettering and new endpapers. Unpaginated. Two engraved frontispieces historiated initials two small engravings single large foldout map "Map shewing ye Situation of Paradice". Modern rebind is pristine and tight; text block very good overall with only the first few and last few leaves a tad edgeworn and age toned else remainder quite bright and clean with only very occasional touches of foxing and occasional discreet vintage mends; small chip to lower corner of first frontispiece not touching image; map shows paper loss along right and bottom portions the whole neatly remounted to full-size sheet. Attractive early printing of this Oxford Bible first produced by the King's Printer Baskett in 1716 and whose son Thomas later produced them mid-century -- not a so-called "Vinegar Bible" the famous typographical error in Luke XX noting the "parable of the vinegar" corrected here to "vineyard." Other than "To the Most High and Might Prince James" opening single leaf the "Translouters to the Reader" section addressing the editions consulted and the entire text that follows is done in two-column format. The Old Testament and Apocrypha are followed by the sectional title page and frontispiece for the New Testament concluding with a lengthy index and foldout map. Inner flyleaf bears 18th century ownership signature of "Tomas Hawkes / His Book." A lovely handleable copy of this large lectern Bible hence " Appointed to be Read in Churches". Interestingly laid loose into this copy is a quite lovely unsigned 9" X 13½" ink-and-wash drawing of a small cottage on a hillside in the foreground with rolling countryside in the distance along with other ephemeral fragments used as place markers in this Bible: an 1849 receipt from draper and grocer John Sneath of Wragby England and several odd scraps torn from books and a newspaper ten pages from a tiny hymnal and portions of a letterhead and invitation. DARLOW AND MOULE 982. John Basket hardcover
