Biblische Historien Historie

17147139Very Good 1714 Hamburg Germany. The first ever printing of this seminal classic. The first time that Bible stories were printed specifically for children. Thus it was somewhat "cleansed" before publication. One source I found says that the incest and murder committed by David were altered among other things. It is four inches by seven inches and includes 104 plates from engravings 52 in the Old Testament and 52 in the New Testament. There are 400 pages of text plus the eight page introduction. Also all the plates are on unnumbered pages for a total of 512 printed pages. The book is in its original calves leather boards and spine which are still attached but fragile. All pages including all front and rear endpapers are present. The last two plates have been repaired at the edges and several pages inside have edge tears or stains but they are minimal. There is the expected foxing throughout and a former owner name and inscription in pencil at the front and a name alone in pencil at the rear. The leather of the boards and spine are rubbed and worn and partially chipped off at the spine ends. The original black leather spine label with gilt titles is still present. A rare gem the only copy I have ever seen of the original first printing from 1714. Johann Hübner 1668-1731 was a German geographer born in Türchau bei Zittau on May 15 1668. He studied Theology History and Geography in Leipzig from 1689 onwards. From 1691 he was Master and then from 1694 Rector of the Gymansium at Merseburg Martisberg; then from 1711 of the Johanneum College in Hamburg. Hübner worked with Nuremberg mapmaker J B Homann 1663-1724 and English cartographer Jean Palairet 1697-1774. His other published works included Kurze Fragen aus der alten und neuen Geographie Leipzig 1693 and Museum Geographicum Das Ist: In Verzeichnis der besten Land-Charten.nebst einem Vorchlage wie daruas allerhand große und kleine Atlantes können sortiert.

DAS GANZE NEUE TESTAMENT. bound with DIE CL. PSALMEN DAVIDS. DURCH D. AMB. LOBWASSER IN TEUTSCHE REIMEN GEBRACHT. and GEISTREICHES FEST- UND NACHTMAHL BÜCHLEIN. and DIE KLEINE BIBEL: ODER: DER PSALTER DAVIDS

1738ST20149Zürich: David Geßner 1738. 162 x 88 mm. 6 3/8 x 3 1/2". 272 pp.; 192 pp.; 8 leaves; 64 pp. BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVED STEEL FILIGREE OVER BLACK VELVET each cover with swirling foliage studded with 37 pointed bosses and four oblique lozenge bosses at corners smooth spine in a similar design with nine studs binding with a total of 83 sharp studs two fore-edge clasps one broken off. Housed in a brown buckram chamois-lined chemise and matching slipcase. New Testament with extra engraved title page with image of St. John his eagle and a lamb printer's device on printed title tailpiece at end of text; Psalms with extra engraved title page depicting David with his harp printed title with small vignette of the same scene; Festivals with engraved title page showing the Last Supper. Nap of velvet mostly gone except down the middle of the spine endpapers and the edges of first and last few leaves with numerous small rust spots apparently caused by the covers' metal frame and studs otherwise fine inside and out. An excellent example of a very unusual binding. With distinguished provenance this is a dramatic binding that makes a memorable display with engraved and pierced steel strapwork forming a lace-like pattern studded with faceted bosses that at first glance appear to be gems. Our volume has a general resemblance to the best of the small silver bindings produced during the Baroque period; its wonderfully executed foliate scrolls are reminiscent of a German binding described and pictured as item #15 in Hayward's "Silver Bindings from the J. R. Abbey Collection." However we have been unable to locate another example that strongly resembles ours. While not silver it is nevertheless a luxury binding--the engraving with its exquisite detail was done by a skilled hand and the materials themselves would have come at a price since before the Bessemer process of the 1850s steel was difficult to produce and consequently expensive. We do not know for whom this remarkable binding was originally made but we do know that it has more recently resided in two important American collections. Prior to 1955 it was in the library of Saul Cohn whose collection was sold at Parke-Bernet on April 26 of that year this was lot #67. Following that it was part of the illustrious collection of Cincinnati businessman arborist and philanthropist Cornelius J. Hauck 1893-1967 whose fortune was made in the family brewery; the auction of his library at Christie's in 2006 totaled more than $12.4 million this was lot #362 selling for $3120.

DAS GANZE NEUE TESTAMENT. with PSALMEN DAVIDS. with DIE KLEINE BIBEL: ODER: DER PSALTER DAVIDS

1738ST20462Zurich: David Gessner 1740 1738 1738. 162 x 90 mm. 6 3/8 x 3 1/2". 270 pp.; 192 16 pp.; 64 pp. LOVELY PIERCED VERMEIL SILVER BINDING over dark brown sharkskin the metalwork with intricately twining strapwork accented with acanthus leaves a basket of flowers and two eagles elongated vermeil head and tail caps over spine two fore-edge clasps gilt patterned paper pastedowns all edges gilt. Housed in a fine modern brown morocco felt-lined clamshell box. First two works with extra engraved illustrated title page. Ink gift inscription on front flyleaf: "Helen McDowell/ from her/ affectionate/ illegible/ with sincere/ good wishes/ for her future/ happiness/ August 1864." For the binding: Hayward "Silver Bindings from the J. R. Abbey Collection" 14. Sharkskin with just a hint of chafing occasional mild browning or foxing to leaves but QUITE A FINE COPY clean and fresh internally and the binding shining and unworn. Beautifully executed and wonderfully preserved this New Testament is an excellent example of the vermeil bindings--that is silver-gilt or gilded/gilt silver--produced in Switzerland and southern Germany during the Baroque period. As is typical this binding is without a hallmark but it closely resembles another New Testament bound in shagreen and vermeil described and pictured as item #14 in Hayward's "Silver Bindings from the J. R. Abbey Collection" which Hayward indicates was produced in Zurich in the early 18th century. These intricate silver bindings were popular for religious works presenting what Hayward calls a "combination of ostentatious wealth and piety" and this one was executed with great skill featuring graceful lines and delicately rendered details. There are two main types of silver bindings from the period: engraved and pierced bindings like the present example which were especially popular in the 17th century; and embossed or repoussé bindings which came into fashion in the late 17th and early 18th century. Of the two the engraved and pierced bindings are generally valued more highly because they required more time and skilled labor. David Gessner unknown
