A great number of English Bibles and English versions were available by the end of the sixteenth century yet none were acceptable to Catholics. With priests hard to come by and many fellow Englishmen who knew their Bible well a need arose for an English Bible that would be acceptable to Rome and allow adherents to refute the errors around them. Gregory Martin an Oxford scholar began the work in 1578 and it would take him four years. He translated about two chapters per day from Latin into English leaving a heavily Latinized translation. His work was submitted for review to William Allen the first president of the college at Douai. The New Testament was printed in 1582 with the Old Testament delayed by financial reasons until 1609-10. The work was used by the translators of the King James Bible who borrowed quite freely from the Rheims New Testament.</p><p><strong>References:</strong> Herbert 177; STC 2884; ESTC S102419 Rhemes Herbert 300; STC 2207; ESTC S101944 Doway; PMM 114; Daniell David.

1568ST20921Lutetia Paris: Robert Estienne II 1568. 128 x 87 mm. 5 x 3 1/2". Two volumes. <br/> LOVELY CONTEMPORARY RED MOROCCO GILT covers with large central azured arabesque surrounded by curling vines with azured leaves smooth spines with similar vines head and foot of spines with egg-and-dart roll similar to one used by Claude de Picques second volume with faint blind lettering to spine all edges gilt perhaps with some minor early restorations but if so then done with such care as to preclude certainty. Housed in modern suede-lined calf-backed clamshell boxes with magnetic closures. Printer's device on titles and final page decorative initials and headpieces. Front pastedown of volume I with ex-libris of Georgios Arvanitidis. Renouard 171:1; Schreiber 239; Darlow & Moule 4633; Adams B-1670. See: Verron "Les Reliures de l'Entrée de Charles IX à Paris 1572 . . . réalisées par Claude Picques" in Bulletin du Bibliophile 2014 no. 2 pp. 282-98. Just a touch of rubbing to extremities front hinge of second volume open but everything quite tight text with occasional mild browning small spots trivial smudges or tiny worm trails but A BEAUTIFUL COPY clean and fresh internally and the bindings tight and lustrous with very bright gilt<br/> <br/> With exceptional visual appeal these two precious volumes shining with gilt and containing the Greek New Testament from the renowned Estienne family of printers are of special interest because of their typography their bindings and their provenance. With the expressed goal of printing Greek texts from manuscripts in the royal library at Fontainebleau François I established the post of royal printer in Greek in 1539 appointed Robert Estienne I 1503-59 to the position in 1542 and commissioned the renowned Claude Garamond to cut a new Greek font for this project. To design the type the King called on his own celebrated calligrapher Angelo Vergecio who produced in collaboration with Garamond three different sizes of what came to be called the Royal Types or "grecs du roi." According to Schreiber "These cursive Greek types are universally acknowledged as the finest ever cut." In 1548 and 1549 Robert Estienne issued the press' first Greek Testament known as the "O mirificam" edition for the opening of the dedication to the king in 16mo or "pocket" format using the smaller font of Garamond's "grecs du roi." In 1550 Robert a Protestant moved to Geneva while his son Robert II 1533-70 a Catholic remained in Paris and took over as the royal printer in Greek. Our 1568 Testament--the only one issued by the son--is a reprinting of the "O mirificam" edition but expanded with the critical apparatus from the 1550 folio edition issued by the father. Schreiber notes that our edition is interesting from a typographical point of view as it contains an even more minute version of the already small grecs du roi type for the Table of Chapters. The exceptionally pretty volumes are done in the style of royal binder Claude Picques fl. 1539-78 and employ a decorative roll very similar to one that appears on the spine of the vellum bindings Picques did for "L'Entrée de Charles IX à Paris" 1572. Our volumes once graced the library of Constantinople collector Georgios Arvanitidis 1876-1953 whose library included a number of Estienne Greek editions. They were later in the distinguished library of Frederick B. Adams 1910-2001 director of the Pierpont Morgan Library from 1948-69 and then president of the prestigious Association Internationale de Bibliophilie from 1974-83. And they were featured in the celebrated 1929 Gumuchian catalogue of 398 historically exceptional bindings as item #71. Robert Estienne II unknown

Printer's Pegasus device on title and final page. Front flyleaf with ink inscription recording the purchase on 24 February 1680 at Toulouse for 24 livres. 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

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.
