Commonly known as the 'Anti-Luther Bibel' Dietenberger's translation was the standard Catholic German translation of the Counter-Reformation and well into the 17th century. 'Johannes Dietenberger ca. 1475–1537 native of Frankfurt am Main university-trained Doctor of Theology and Dominican friar served as prior in Frankfurt and Koblenz during the 1525 Urban Revolt of the German Peasants’ War and the early Protestant Reformation respectively. Like Martin Luther Dietenberger translated the Bible into the vernacular German after consulting recently published Greek and Hebrew biblical texts; however unlike Luther he produced a translation that remained true to the Latin Vulgate and the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church. Dietenberger aimed to counter those parts of Luther’s translation which contradicted Catholic tradition and at the same time to provide a translation whose language was less coarse and offensive.'

The book is profusely illustrated with woodcuts copied from a german Bible issued by Sigmund Feyerabend in Frankfurt a. M. 1560.

This compact glossed Bible densely and economically printed with no break between the Old and New Testaments is enlivened by hundreds of historiated woodcut initials from woodcut alphabets designed by Guillaume Leroy who also designed the six-part full-page woodcut of the Creation. <br /> <br /> Mareschal’s useful “pocket†Bibles were bestsellers this being the fourth of six octavo editions from his press. They were among the first Bible editions to include a rhyming mnemonic Biblical summary by the minorite friar Franciscus Gothi in which each four-line verse summarizes a Biblical chapter. Occupying here the final two quires and called for in the colophon it is not recorded by Baudrier or Gültlingen. Possibly buyers had the choice of including it or not in their copies. Otherwise the text of Mareschal’s octavo Bibles follows that of the Bible printed in Basel in 1509 by Johann Petri and Froben using the text edited by the Dominican Alberto Castellano and supplying for the first time marginal notes citing canon law. The apparatus includes four tables and a glossary of Hebrew names. As in the Petri editions a six-line commendatory poem by Matthias Sambucellus is printed on the title here with the first word of the last line incorrectly given as “Omne†instead of “Omine.â€<br /> <br /> The publisher Simon Vincent belonged to Lyon’s powerful booksellers' guild the Compagnie des Libraires whose members helped Mareschal during his early years impressed by his skill conscientiousness and sobriety â€a rare trait among printers of this period†notes Baudrier qualities which contrasted markedly with those of the printer Michel Topie whose press Mareschal had acquired in 1512 Baudrier 11:383.<br /> <br /> USTC 145003; Adams B-997; Pettegree & Walsby French Vernacular Books III: 57271.

Darlow & Moule 4653; VD16 B 2578; Adams B-979. ◆Three minute dents to front board a hint of wear to bands and corners isolated faint foxing blank recto of frontispiece leaf and blank verso of final leaf with faint blue shadow from endpapers but all of these quite trivial and otherwise A BEAUTIFUL COPY--fresh clean and bright internally with very wide margins and strong impressions of the plates and in a lustrous binding showing few signs of use.<br/> <br/> This handsome and remarkably well-preserved tall folio Greek Bible from a distinguished German printing firm comes in a shiny armorial binding with aristocratic French provenance. Darlow & Moule assigns the editing of this issue to Franciscus Junius François du Jon or Friedrich Sylburg noting that the Old Testament "is based on the Basel edition of 1545 . . . with correction from the Complutensian text and useful notes." The New Testament follows the text of Robert Estienne's 1568-69 edition. The Wechel family had a long tradition of humanist printing with an emphasis on Greek texts beginning with the press of Christian Wechel fl. 1520-54 in Paris and continuing after his son Andreas d. 1581 fled to Frankfurt to escape the persecution of Protestants in France. Andreas' descendants carried on the business through the first quarter of the 17th century. Olivier's "Reliures Armoriées Françaises" 1926 pl. 745 offers three possible attributions for the supralibros here all from the Languedoc region during the first half of the 17th century: Jean de Baderson; Jacques de Baderon seigneur de Maussac a member of the Parlement of Toulouse; and Jacques de Baderon de Maussac seigneur de Montagnac et de Corneillan and commandant of the city of Collioure. The inscription on the flyleaf here indicating that the book was purchased in Toulouse perhaps supports the case for the member of the Parlement in that city. The 24 livres paid for our imposing volume in 1680 would have represented as much as two months' wages for a worker in the region of its purchase. heirs of Andreas Wechel, Claude de Marne & Johann Aubry unknown

Title and Almanacke printed in red and black. Two large half-page engravings before Psalms and Isaiah. Many woodcuts throughout the text. Text in black letter double columns with 65 lines to the full column. Text is ruled in red from Genesis through 2 Samuel and again throughout the New Testament. Text divided into five parts with divisional title pages to each part surrounded by two ornamental blocks and two woodcuts above and below depicting narrative scenes. This Bible contains the famous note in 1 Peter 3: "And yf she be not obedient and healpfull unto hym endevevoureth to beate the feare of God into her heae that thereby she maye be compelled to learne her duitie and do it" and is sometimes referred to as the "wife-beater Bible." The text includes Tyndale's chapter summaries and prologues including his notes in Revelation where he refers to the Pope as the antichrist.</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Contemporary brown calf over beveled oak boards. Covers featuring a mid-sixteenth century blind roll design within concentric frames. All metal corner- and centerpieces intact. Clasps and hasps were likely added later. Plain endpapers. Extremities lightly rubbed and scuffed but wonderfully preserved overall.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> Clean and bright with good margins; some of the red rules slightly faded; a few leaves with lower corner repair O4 R2 fore-margin repair Ee5-6 none of which impact the text; I45 in New Testament with small repair reducing one letter to headline; some thumbsoiling to edges; A near complete copy in a stunning contemporary binding and in far better condition than typically seen. </p><p><strong>Provenance: </strong>"David K. Parsons 2005" to front pastedown; laid down copperplate engraving depicting the final interview of John Rogers with his wife and eleven children just prior to his burning at the stake by Bloody Mary; birth records of James and Elizabeth Sage to blank leaf before Apocrypha; ex-libris stamp of David Parsons to final blank leaf. </p><p><strong>Note:</strong> The Matthew's Bible also referred to as the Matthew's-Tyndale Bible was printed in 1537 1549 two editions and 1551. Copies of the 1537 first edition are very difficult to find and rarely complete. The text was reprinted twice in 1549: one edition with the notes slightly revised by Edmund Becke and the "wife-beater" note at 1 Peter 3 this copy and the other edition being a straight reprint of the 1537 text without woodcuts and a notoriously bad printing. This edition boasts numerous woodcuts in the text especially the Pentateuch the gospels and Revelation. </p><p>John Rogers was a central figure in the history of the English Bible. Best known as the editor of the Matthew's Bible Rogers deliberately worked under the pseudonym "Thomas Matthew" to distance the volume from the condemned and dangerous name of William Tyndale. This strategic choice allowed the Bible to circulate more freely at a time when Tyndale's translations were officially banned. In reality roughly two thirds of the Matthew's Bible consists of Tyndale's work including Genesis through 2 Chronicles and the entire New Testament. Rogers helped preserve and disseminate Tyndale's translation during a period when doing so openly could invite severe punishment.</p><p>Rogers' faithfulness to Scripture ultimately cost him his life. During the reign of Queen Mary I when she sought to return England to Catholicism Rogers was arrested for heresy and became the first Protestant martyr of Mary's persecution. In 1555 he was burned at the stake at Smithfield reportedly in the presence of his wife and children bearing witness to his convictions to the end. The Matthew's Bible is considered to be the primary version of our English Bible.</p><p><strong>References:</strong> Herbert 74; Harold H. Hutson and Harold R.

The father of the modern English language and the father of the English Reformation Tyndale was spurred on by the desire to "cause a boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scripture" than the clergy of the day. He would be killed for this cause in 1536. The translation was bitterly opposed by Bloody Mary and many copies of Tyndale's Bibles were burned. Research has shown that at least eighty percent of the King James Version is Tyndale's.</p><p><strong>Scarcity</strong></p><p>USTC records 21 copies in holding with most copies lacking the title page.
