17673087Cambridge: John Archdeacon 1767. Two vols. 6.75 x 4.25". Contemporary Scottish black morocco spine in six compartments red morocco lettering pieces in the second others with gilt saltire with small flowers covers framed with distinctive interlocking tool impressed individually. Red and black PRINTED book labels of Elisabeth Hall dated 1769 pasted onto "Dutch gilt" endpapers. Some modern glue is visible in the inner hinge of the lower cover of vol. 2. Two original binder's blanks at the front and back of both volumes. Suitable for exhibition and study. This well preserved set of Scottish bindings is further distinguished by FOUR copy-specific letterpress bookplates printed in red and black no doubt in Scotland which reads in full: <br/><br/>"Elisabeth Hall Her Bible. 20th June. MDCCLXIX." <br/><br/>Concerning this printed bookplate it would appear that the present volumes contain the only known impressions of it thereby meriting inclusion in ESTC and elsewhere.<br/><br/>The tools on the front cover of the bindings have not been matched with published examples but the spine treatment and endpapers are decidedly Scottish.<br/><br/>That the Psalms were printed in Edinburgh Alexander Kincaid 1763 leads us to the conclusion that the present bindings are not only Scottish but that the original owner of them Elisabeth Hall was certainly Scottish herself.<br/><br/>John Archdeacon's 1767 Cambridge Bible is not in the National Library of Scotland. Unsurprisingly NLS has four copies of Alexander Kincaid's 1763 Psalms two of which are in the Bindings Collection: Bdg.s.8072 and Bdg.s.1002. John Archdeacon unknown books

18391463Novo York 1839. Good plus. Original mottled calf spine gilt ruled leather label. Boards scuffed calf somewhat worn at edges and along spine. Pastedowns detaching from boards. A scarce Portuguese New York imprint comprising the Catholic New Testament. The translator Antonio Pereira de Figueiredo was a Portuguese monk who completed his vernacular Bible over the course of eighteen years during the late-18th century. His New Testament was originally published in parts from 1778 to 1781. The publication of this edition in New York by the American Bible Society perhaps correlates to the growth of Portuguese immigration to the Northeast associated with the rise of the American whaling industry during this period. books
