1738ST20149Zürich: David Geßner 1738. 162 x 88 mm. 6 3/8 x 3 1/2". 272 pp.; 192 pp.; 8 leaves; 64 pp. <br/> 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.<br/> <br/> 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 We do not know for whom this remarkable binding was originally made but we do know that it has more recently resided in two important American collections.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.

1738ST20462Zurich: David Gessner 1740 1738 1738. 162 x 90 mm. 6 3/8 x 3 1/2". 270 pp.; 192 16 pp.; 64 pp. <br/> 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.<br/> <br/> 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
1768ST12938Zurich: David Gessner 1768. 169 x 94 mm. 6 1/2 x 3 3/4". 272 64 214 of 215 pp. <br/> CONTEMPORARY PAINTED AND BLIND-TOOLED VELLUM DECORATED IN AN ELABORATE AND QUAINT STYLE covers with black and red starburst at center in a lobed red and green frame stamped with stars and tulips yellow cornerpieces stamped with a floral design smooth spine painted red and tooled in blind with flowers Dutch gilded endpapers all edges gilt. ◆Covers faintly soiled extremities lightly rubbed one leaf with two-inch portion torn away at fore margin costing small parts of five closely spaced staves of music occasional foxing of no great consequence; with some serious condition issues internally but an extremely pleasing example of a binding representing German folk art of the period.<br/> <br/> Although lacking the final leaf of text this volume is of considerable interest as an expertly made and decorated so-called "Peasant Binding" a colorful binding style that began in Hungary and spread through Germany the Netherlands and Scandinavia in the 18th century. The use of the word "peasant" in this context is a reference to the obvious influence of folk art on this decoration rather than to the clientele for which it was intended. Bibles prayer books and hymnals in the brightly painted and exuberantly decorated vellum bindings were popular wedding gifts among the bourgeoisie who were both literate and sufficiently affluent to afford such luxuries.

Known as the "Kurfürstenbibel" because of its portraits of the Electoral Princes called "Kurfürsten" in German it was originally prepared for Ernst I Duke of Saxe-Gotha and Altenburg as a celebration of Martin Luther's Bible translation. Editions were issued by the Endters one of the prominent German printing families beginning in 1641. In addition to portraits of Luther and the Protestant princes of Germany the present edition contains the maps views and illustrated half-titles by Jacob van Sandrart and others first used in the edition of 1686. Our copy contains four maps and views not found in other copies of this edition showing the eastern Mediterranean and Palestine as well as both a map and a view of Jerusalem. The size of our volume puts a great strain on the binding which has nevertheless stood the test of time remarkably well. The overall decoration is exuberant the delicate gauffering lovely and the original straps remarkably well preserved. Johann Andrea Endterischen unknown
1769373151Germantown PA: Christoph Saur 1769. 5293pp. 12mo. Contemporary speckled calf covers ruled in blind spine with raised bands brass hinges and clasps minor wear along front joint.

179534103Germantown PA: Michael Billmeyer 1795. Hardcover. 16mo. Original full calf with metal clasps and straps present and functional. 537pp 5pp. Overall very good. Binding a bit edgeworn but attractive; front/rear flyleaves are replacements; text block moderately age toned with mild occasional foxing. Tight and nice second printing of this noted "New Testament" entirely in German first published in 1787 issued from the press of the well-known Philadelphia printer 1752-1837. The printing office/home in which this was printed still stands today; it was built in 1730 purchased by Billmeyer in 1789 and is supposedly the site from which George Washington directed his Continental Army forces in the Battle of Germantown. When Billmeyer and his father-in-law set up their Lutheran press in the 1780s they acquired the surviving equipment of the renowned Philadelphia printer Christopher Saur Jr. whose press the British had destroyed in 1777. The straps are perhaps not original but all brass clasp parts are original and handsome -- and it still clicks firmly closed. Despite mild wear an exceptional copy. Michael Billmeyer hardcover

173833238-165Zurich Johann Heinrich Bürckli 1738. 2 cols. 386 pp.; 256 pp.; 88 pp. 8vo c. 165 x 95 x 25 mm. 18th century Zurich Vermeil binding fine chased goldplated silver over wooden boards covered with black velvet edges gilt. Exlibris. Zurich Johann Heinrich Bürckli 1738. Attractive New Testament in the Zurich version printed for domestic use preciously and splendidly bound in a much sought-after Zurich Vermeil binding fine chased goldplated silver over wooden boards. This N.T. is a typical example out of one of the roughly thirty editions printed in Zurich during the 18th century. It is remarkable that Ambrosius Lobwasser 1515-1584 as a Lutheran thereby paved the way for Calvinist liturgical songs in German speaking countries cf. MGG VIII 1075 by using for his metrical psalms the Geneva book of Psalms prepared by Marot and Beza between 1532 and 1560. His object was to popularize in Germany the melodies of the French Psalter of the beauty of which he had received a deep impression during a long sojourn in Berry; and thus he adhered to the texts which served as channels for these melodies in order that the meter and versification might accord with the French model. The book is housed in an attractive contemporary Zurich binding. Zurich was the most important place of manufacture for Vermeil bindings and shows the design that was common there at this time. Forming a wide frame on both covers and the back it is composed of leafy scroll- and lattice-work with flower and ornamental depictions. In the center of both covers is a small pelican engraved as a symbold for Jesus Christ or as a sign of mercy or possibly an owner sign. This binding is uncommon in that the silver cagework extends round the edges of the covers.- The work shows considerable craftsmanship and is in pristine and fine condition. - Not in VD 18 nor Darlow/Moule; cf.

1677000346London: T. Roycroft impensis Richardi Chiswell 1677. First Edition. . Hardcover. See Description. 4to. pp. 16 372 20 Title printed in red and black. Text is in Latin with quoted passages in Hebrew. Re-backed preserving original sprinkled calf boards. Upper corner of rear cover restored. End papers are renewed with quality laid paper after period style. Interior is clean. An inscription written in an old hand on a front blank leaf reads: "Ex domo Authoris Maii 4. 1677" From the house of the author May 4. 1677. William Owtram 1625-1679 was an English conformist theologian known for his great skill in rabbinical learning. In 1669 Owtram became Archdeacon of Leicester and in 1670 he was made Prebendary of Westminster 1670. Richard Baxter spoke of him as " one of the best and ablest of the conformists." DNB. Owtram is mainly known for his learned work "De Sacrificiis libri duo" an in depth study of religious ritual sacrifice. The book is divided into two parts; part 1 treats of ritual sacrifice in general and of the Biblical Hebrew rituals in particular. The sacrificial practices of the Gentiles are also mentioned. Part 2 discusses the Christian concept of sacrifice in reference to the death of Christ on the cross. The entire work was written in large part to counter the Socinian early Unitarian concept that Christ's death was not atonement for humanity's sins. Owtram defends the doctrine of atonement through vicarious punishment in both Hebrew and Christian scriptures. He argues that Christ's death was an expiatory sacrifice which took away the sins of mankind. The book was also influential in Dutch Socinian debates. Two later editions were printed in Amsterdam Of interest for Restoration Anglican history and for the history of Socinianism and Unitarianism.
