Trained in classical languages at Oxford Whittingham completed a fresh translation of the New Testament from the original Greek in 1557. Joined by Anthony Gilby and Thomas Sampson a translation of the Old Testament from the original Hebrew and Aramaic was completed in 1560. The three saw their work as a continuance of the tradition of English Bible translation first begun by William Tyndale and Miles Coverdale.

The fourth part contains the Apocrypha and the Triplex Targum i.e. Targumim I and II of Jerusalem and the Persian version of Jacob ben Joseph Tawus.

1617496301London: Edward Griffin for Henry Fetherstone 1617. . This 1617 combined edition in a single volume has two sequences of pages running to page 728 and page 312. This copy lacks several title pages both of the book as a whole and of individual treatises and also lacks 10 pages of text scattered across three locations. The front board and first page of epistle dedicatory are detached from the rest of the book; this board has a mended corner. The paper is in remarkably good condition throughout apart from a few tears especially considering that the book is over 400 years old - if only some of our modern books were printed on paper as durable as this!

17001002658London: Printed for Dan. Brown at the Black Swan and Bible without Temple-bar and Andr. Bell at the Cross-keys and Bible in Cornhil 1700. First edition of this verse translation of the Song of Songs by Joseph Stennett 1663-1713 the first important Baptist hymnwriter in England: "Thy Lips my Spouse that move with skill / Drops like the Hony-comb distil. / Hony and Milk's beneath thy Tongue / Which feeds the Weak as well as strong." In his scholarly preface Stennett is quick to assure readers that the Hebrew text is not about sexual desire despite appearances: "some have denied that Solomon wrote it by Divine Inspiration; and make his Design to be only that of celebrating his Amours with Pharoah's Daughter or some other person." The passion of the bridegroom and the bride is to be understood however as a divine allegory of Christ's love for his church the same "mystical Espousals" found in the 45th Psalm which Stennett also translates here.

1663ABC_48446Leiden 1663. Large folio 44.5 x 28 cm. widow and heirs of Johannes Elzevier Contemporary elaborately gold-tooled red morocco over bevelled wooden boards sewn on 8 supports with corresponding raised bands on the spine with grand silver fittings with the hallmarks of an unknown silversmith dated on the inside of one of the clasps "1665" gold-tooled board edges and turn-ins. Further with gilt painted and elaborately gauffered and decorated edges; the fore edge shows the coat-of-arms of Jeremias de Bont with some floral decorations these floral decorations can also be found on the top and bottom edges. The boards show a very intricate gold-tooled symmetric design of ribbons with small geometric stamps and with ornamental curling stamps - better known as "petit fers" - within the different parts of the bigger pattern. The binding contains 4 ornamental corner pieces on each board and two catch plates front board and two hinge plates back board connected by two decorated massive silver clasps engraved on the inside "Ieremias de Bont top and "1665" bottom. With 3 letterpress title-pages the first in red and black and each with the same Elzevier woodcut tree device with non solus a complete series of 6 double-page engraved maps the Nicolaes Visscher maps 5 published ca. 1657 and including the world map added ca. 1663 without the engraved title-page as usual. Further with numerous woodcut initials and tailpieces. 3 parts in 1 volume. 22 "368" = 370; 13 "167" = 168; 2 77 ll. The first Dutch "States Bible" to be printed in roman type printed by the famous Leiden printers publishers and booksellers Elzevier. The present copy in the splendid binding was made for a high official within the Dutch Republic Jeremias de Bont. His family's coat-of-arms can be found on the gauffered painted and gilt fore edge and Jeremias' name is engraved in the inside of the top silver clasp the bottom one shows a date "Anno 1665". The "States Bible" is the first officially authorized translation of the Bible into Dutch the Statenvertaling commissioned during the Synod of Dordrecht 1618-1619. The States General of the United Provinces of the Netherlands were asked to pay for it hence its name. The translation was completed in 1635 and approved authorized and published in 1637 in Leiden. For the present 1663 edition the Elzeviers followed the text of the 1657 revised and corrected edition. In a sense it could be seen as a revolutionary publication even though it still is an authorised version of the Bible; the present copy contains the live signature of a Leiden city clerk - as usual - to indicate its authorization. The decision to set the main text in roman type rather than the conventional gothic textura was unprecedented in such publications and not only contributed to the spread of roman type in Dutch-language printed matter generally works in Latin were often set in roman more than a century earlier but also contributed to the prolonged popularity of the authorised translation itself and of the present edition.The present copy is illustrated with 6 double-page maps published by Nicolaes Visscher; this series includes 5 maps of Jerusalem and the Holy Land published ca. 1657 and 1 world map published ca. 1663 as usual all in their first state.Jeremias de Bont -1687 was 17th-century politician in the Dutch Republic. He was a member of the "Vroedschap van Gorinchem" in/since 1674 city council of Gorinchem in the present-day province of South Holland burgomaster in Gorinchem in 1679 and 1681-1683 and member of the Dutch "Raad van State" Council of State of Holland on behalf of the city of Gorinchem.We thank dr. J. Storm van Leeuwen for his in-depth analysis of the present binding. Through his findings we know that the present binding is contemporary to the work 1663 and judging by the style of the decorations possibly produced by a German binder in the Netherlands Amsterdam or The Hague. In his research Storm van Leeuwen came across 3 other bindings in the same style and all produced around the 1660s. These bindings cannot be ascribed to a hitherto known 17th-century Dutch bindery thus - for ease of reference - Storm van Leeuwen named the bindery after the present binding: "De-Bont Binderij".With the signature of J. van der Werve a city clerk below the coat of arms of the city of Leiden on the verso of the first title-page below the privileges. The binding shows slight signs of wear browned and foxed throughout the edges are slightly dust-soiled but still showing the highly detailed decorations. Without the engraved title-page as usual.
