An unrecorded issue 1 of at least 7 of a rare and important 1590 Bible edition the corrected "deux aes" Bible based on the first edition of 1562 New Testament 1559 which remained the standard Dutch Reformed Bible until the official Dutch States translation published in 1637. It was translated from Luther's German by Godfried van Wingen the New Testament by Johannes Dyrkinus after comparison with several other versions and includes many notes some also taken from Luther and some by Augustin Marlorat as well as Petrus Danthenus's metric psalms with music notes. The Amsterdam bookseller Laurens Jacobsz. initiated the publication of the present corrected text of the "deus aes" Bible and the maps to accompany it publishing the folio edition with maps himself but sharing the quarto edition with four other publishers. Although Jacobsz.'s name does not appear in the present issue he was originally trained as a binder operated his shop at the sign of the gold-tooled Bible and Fontaine Verwey gives evidence to link him with the panel stamp on the present binding. He may therefore have bound copies or had them bound for the other publishers. Bibliasacra Typ. Batava and the STCN together record only 8 copies of all issues combined at least half of those lack leaves and some of the copies with all leaves have defective leaves or lack the maps so that they record at most 2 other complete copies with maps.With a few leaves slightly browned a water stain in the second half and the first preliminary quire of part 1 faint outside a few quires small tears in the maps and a few worm holes or other defects in the paper mostly in the margins of the last few leaves but still in good condition. The binding has been skilfully re-backed probably in the early 19th-century and is slightly rubbed with a crack along the edge of the panel-stamp on the front board and a few minor cuts and scrapes but also still in good condition and only slightly trimmed.

Quentel's print shop was raided but sheets of the first gospel translated from the original Greek and printed in English soon began to circulate in England. Tyndale settled in Worms where Schöffer completed an octavo printing of the first complete English New Testament in 1526 a facsimile of the Grenville fragment and its illustration were published in 1871.<br /> <br /> The blocks for the illustrations evidently survived the raid on the Quentel's shop and are used here at the head of each of the four gospels.<br /> <br /> A notable edition in the history of the printing of the Bible.

Armorial bookplate "In Memori: Weiler Bibliotheca Trautner Falkiana" on verso of front free endpaper.<br /> <br /> First De Tournes Latin Bible based on Robert Estienne's text and beautifully illustrated with 198 woodcuts by Bernard Salomon. "Considerable work could be done on Salomon's sources for these cuts. The Expulsion from Paradise suggests Holbein's version; the New Testament shows some dependence on the set owned by Sébastien Gryphius. the Apocalypse blocks are enlarged copies of the fine Janot Apocalypse. But the cumulative effect of Salomon's carefully detailed scenes is that of an individual contribution to Bible illustration. Particularly interesting from the point of view of technique are the night scenes in Exodus and the storm over Noah's ark. In this 1554 Bible the New Testament blocks are printed with arabesque strip borders at the sides. Arabesque and type ornament headpieces." Mortimer Contents include: Old Testament; Psalms; New Testament Epistles Acts; Index Testimoniorum & Index Epistolarum.<br /> <br /> Robert I Estienne 1503-1559 was a French protestant printer and scholar born into a printmaking family. He would take over his family's Paris firm in 1526 where he printed significant works in Latin Greek Hebrew and other languages. His 1531 Thesaurus linguae latinae is considered a major milestone in lexicography. Despite his many commissions for the King religious tensions forced Estienne to flee to Geneva. <br /> <br /> This bible was illustrated by Bernard Salomon c.1508-1561 a French artist who is known for engravings and illustrations. Although little is known about his life his art reveals stylistic influences from Mannerism and the School of Fontainebleau executed in a detailed and small scale. Salomon is known to have collaborated with the printer Jean de Tournes and produced decoration for emblem books bibles and classic texts. Many of his engravings also appear as source material for art objects such as a Faience plate at the MET featuring the Sacrifice of Noah.<br /> <br /> Brunet I 876 & Supplement I 125; Darlow & Moule 6134 note; Mortimer French no. 81.

La Biblia de Salamanca con la traducción y notas de Francisco Vatablo publicada por primera vez en París en 1545 e impresa en España en 1554 con atribución a fray Domingo de Soto de la revisión del texto prohibida y mandada retirar por la Inquisición entre los años 1554 y 1559 pero que finalmente pudo ser publicada en Salamanca en 1584. Se conoce como <em>Biblia de Vatablo</em> a la edición preparada por Robert Estienne de la versión <em>Vulgata</em> de las Sagradas Escrituras junto con la traducción latina de Sanctes Pagnino y las anotaciones y correcciones de François Vatable profesor de hebreo del Collège de France; fue impresa en París en 1545. Se trata de una Biblia única ya que contiene 2 textos en latín de la Sagrada Escritura y no uno como es común. A la primera traducción se la denomina como la traducción vieja y se trata de la primera traducción de la Biblia realizada al latín desde el hebreo y griego llamada <em>Vulgata</em>; la segunda traducción se la denomina como traducción nueva y contiene las ideas renacentistas. Ambas traducciones confrontan el pensamiento de la <em>Vulgata</em> y las correcciones de ésta entre lo antiguo y lo nuevo. La primera impresión de la Biblia de Vatablo en España fue realizada en 1554 por Andrea de Portonaris en Salamanca; fue considerada ilegal un año más tarde y se dice de ella que no hay ejemplar conocido. Esta segunda impresión de 1584 la única que pudo ver la luz fue publicada después de ser cuidadosamente revisada y expurgada por la Inquisición y un grupo de teólogos de la universidad de Alcalá llamados los <em>hebraizantes</em> a los que le costó la cárcel y la muerte y entre los que se encontraba Fray Luis de León. Esta Biblia editada por Gaspar de Portonaris hermano del impresor de la primera y desconocida primera versión comenzó su andadura en 1569 en un proceso de más de 100 juntas reuniendo a gran número de teólogos y que se extendió por varios años. Contiene para el Antiguo Testamento la versión de San Jerónimo y Pagnini y para el Nuevo Testamento la versión de San Jerónimo y la traducción de Erasmo junco con ciertas revisiones de Teodoro de Beza. Durante los debates hubo momentos de mucha tensión. Especialmente furibundos fueron los enfrentamientos entre Fray Luis de León profesor de Teología Prima y León de Castro profesor de Griego experto acusador de judíos y judaizantes y abiertamente enemigo de todo aquello que tuviera que ver con los textos en hebreo donde las amenazas con denunciarse mutuamente ante el Tribunal del Santo Oficio fueron constantes durante estos años de deliberaciones. En las juntas se enfrentaron dos tendencias irreconciliables lo que iba a desencadenar las persecución de los hebraístas. Finalmente Fray Luis de León y sus otros compañeros hebraístas fueron llevados ante la Inquisición encarcelados y llevados a juicio. Es precisamente durante este largo cautiverio cuando Fray Luis realiza algunas traducciones de libros y escribe varias poesías y una de sus obras más significativas<em> De los nombres de Cristo</em>. Finalmente en 1575 el Tribunal reconociendo el valor y la energía impuesta por Fray Luis en su defensa oral le creyó exento de toda culpa y sospecha.
