This compact glossed Bible densely and economically printed with no break between the Old and New Testaments is enlivened by hundreds of historiated woodcut initials from woodcut alphabets designed by Guillaume Leroy who also designed the six-part full-page woodcut of the Creation. <br /> <br /> Mareschal’s useful “pocket†Bibles were bestsellers this being the fourth of six octavo editions from his press. They were among the first Bible editions to include a rhyming mnemonic Biblical summary by the minorite friar Franciscus Gothi in which each four-line verse summarizes a Biblical chapter. Occupying here the final two quires and called for in the colophon it is not recorded by Baudrier or Gültlingen. Possibly buyers had the choice of including it or not in their copies. Otherwise the text of Mareschal’s octavo Bibles follows that of the Bible printed in Basel in 1509 by Johann Petri and Froben using the text edited by the Dominican Alberto Castellano and supplying for the first time marginal notes citing canon law. The apparatus includes four tables and a glossary of Hebrew names.

1532ABC_49016Paris: Roberti Stephani = Robert Estienne 1532. Modern gold-tooled brown calf with the title lettered in gold on the spine red sprinkled edges. Folio. With Estienne's large olive-tree device on the general title page and the divisional titles of parts 3 interpretatio and 4 index a woodcut decorative border around the word "Biblia" on the general title page and 79 decorated metalcut criblé initials. 4 parts in 1 volume. Including: - Hebraica Chaldaea Graecáque & Latina nomina virorum .- Index rerum et sentiarum quae in Veteris & novi testamenti libris continentur. Second enlarged and first fully glossed edition of the famed Estienne Bible. The work is "considered the earliest genuine attempt at a critical edition of the Vulgate text. it became practically the foundation of the official Roman Vulgate" Schreiber. The first edition of this Bible was Estienne's first major work and "immediately established him as the most outstanding figure in the Paris book trade at the time" Schreiber. The present copy is complete with the glossary and index which appear as parts 3 and 4. It also includes the beautiful criblé initials by engraver Geoffroy Tory 1480-1533.Robert Estienne 1503-1559 acquired Vulgate manuscripts during his years in Paris and printed numerous editions throughout his career beginning in 1528. Unlike the first edition the present edition includes marginal references concise notes and an extensive index of significant Hebrew words. It also contains Estiennes distinctive typographical symbols indicating words present in the Hebrew text but omitted from the Latin version and vice versa. Notably this edition is the first in which Estienne placed the Acts of the Apostles between the Gospels and the Pauline Epistles rather than at the end of the volume as was then customary.With an annotation at the top of the title page another in the middle of the title page and a signature below. The front and back board are somewhat scratched. The title page has been reinforced in the margins likely with the final blank of the second part which is missing to repair the tear in the bottom half large ink stains in the inner margin of leaves 243-244 and 306-307 of the first part a tear in the outer margin of leaf 7 of part 3 minor ink thumb prints on some of the leaves each leaf has been ruled in reddish-brown ink with manicules on some of the leaves.

1587ST14247Venetiis Venice: Hieronymus Polus 1587. 213 x 146 mm. 8 3/8 x 5 5/8". 12 p.l. 1126 pp. <br/> ESPECIALLY PLEASING CONTEMPORARY CALF covers with gilt French fillet frame and oval wreath of olive branches the center of the wreath in the shape of a cross flat spine ruled in gilt red morocco label. Title page with elaborate wood-engraved frame text profusely illustrated WITH 600 WOOD ENGRAVINGS depicting scenes from scripture after Holbein Bernard Salomon le Petit Bernard and others a handful of these a bit indistinct. Front pastedown with ex-libris of Leonis S. Olschki. Adams B-1093; STC Italian 93. Not in Darlow & Moule. ◆A little wear to joints and extremities spine a bit crackled separation at hinges but no looseness occasional minor browning or foxing otherwise in remarkably fine condition the text clean and crisp and in a still-lustrous entirely solid unsophisticated original binding.<br/> <br/> This is a very well-preserved handsomely bound and lavishly illustrated edition with distinguished provenance of the Louvain Bible first printed in Venice in 1578. Our edition contains 600 wood engravings illustrating the text ranging from portraits of prophets saints and evangelists to dramatic scenes from the histories of the Old Testament and the life of Christ and ending with an imaginative Apocalypse cycle. Many of these are the work of Lyonnaise artist Bernard Salomon 1506-61 known by the sobriquet "Le Petit Bernard" for his small engravings rich with detail. Others are based on the biblical woodcuts of Hans Holbein. The binding here is likely French; the flat spine with just one large gilt-framed panel and the olive branch decoration on the covers is characteristic of late 16th century and early 17th century French work. The exceptional condition here is typical of books from the collection of Leo Samuel Olschki 1861-1940 scion of a family of Prussian Jewish printers whose interest in printing history led to his becoming a celebrated antiquarian bookseller author founder of the journal "The Bibliophile" and publisher of works in the humanities.

Commonly known as the 'Anti-Luther Bibel' Dietenberger's translation was the standard Catholic German translation of the Counter-Reformation and well into the 17th century. 'Johannes Dietenberger ca. 1475–1537 native of Frankfurt am Main university-trained Doctor of Theology and Dominican friar served as prior in Frankfurt and Koblenz during the 1525 Urban Revolt of the German Peasants’ War and the early Protestant Reformation respectively. Like Martin Luther Dietenberger translated the Bible into the vernacular German after consulting recently published Greek and Hebrew biblical texts; however unlike Luther he produced a translation that remained true to the Latin Vulgate and the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church. Dietenberger aimed to counter those parts of Luther’s translation which contradicted Catholic tradition and at the same time to provide a translation whose language was less coarse and offensive.'

159062507Rome Typographia Medicea 1590 -1591. Folio. Completely uncut in the original blank interim wrappers with slight offsetting to verso of front wrapper. Newer paper backstrip matching the paper of the wrappers. Some leaves browned. Occasional brownspotting. An overall excellent copy. Housed in a old vellum chemise with ties and handwritten title EVANGELIUM to spine. Old amorial vague red stamp to title-page colophon and p. 97 from the Bibliotheque Impériale now Bibliotheque Nationale with a small deaccession-stamp to title-page. Magnificently illustrated with 149 large woodcut engravings in the text. 368 pp. Arabic text within double-frame border througout. Beautifully printed on very heavy paper. <br/><br/><em>The scarce editio princeps of the Arabic translation of the New Testament magnificently printed in Granjon's famous font considered the first satisfactory Arabic printing type appearing here for the first time and beautifully illustrated with 149 woodcut illustrations in the text. This work constitutes the very first printing by the Typographia Medicea-press a printing-house set up by Pope Gregor XIII and Cardinal Ferdinando de Medici in order to promote and distribute Christian scriptures to the East. This splendid work is considered the first successful printing of Arabic. Apart from the Latin part of the title-page and the colophon the book is in Arabic throughout. Two issues of the work were printed almost simultaneously the Arabic-only text which has the year 1590 on the title-page and 1591 on the colophon and the interlenear Arabic-Latin edition which has 1591 on the title-page. The Arab-only edition with 1590 on the title-page is generally considered the first. "Its first great Arabic publication was this edition of the Gospels bearing the date 1590 on the title page and 1591 at the end. Two versions appeared one solely in Arabic and one with an interlinear Latin translation." Library of Congress.The work was edited by Giovanni Battista Raimondi 1536-1614 a renowned Orientalist and professor of mathematics at the College of the Sapienza in Rome. Raimondi had travelled extensively in the Middle East and had thorough knowledge of Arabic Armenian Syrian and Hebrew. He is however most famous for being the editor at the Typographia Medicea-press; together with French engraver Robert Granjon who also created the Arabic typography of the present work "bettered all previous attempts to print in Arabic in Europe and would remain unsurpassed long after the press had closed. Boogert "Medici Oriental Press Rome 1584-1614"."Antonio Tempesta the engraver cutter: Leonardo Parasole had studied under Santi di Tito and Joannes Stradanus at the Accademia del Disegno in Florence later working with Stradanus and Vasari on the interior decoration of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence before travelling to Rome where he executed various commissions including frescos for Pope Gregory XIII in the Vatican and decorations for the Villa Farnese. Simultaneously with his frescos and panel paintings he executed a large number of engravings. The illustrations for the present work are remarkable examples of Tempesta's work noteworthy for their clear composition and narrative of the episodes depicted. Despite the extremely high quality of the prints the press never became an economic success and it went bankrupt in 1610. Scholars have noticed that presenting a work with beautiful scriptural illustrations as the present to Arabic-speaking Muslims when Islam forbids religious illustration showed little understanding of the culture and almost certainly hindered Pope Gregory XIII's missionary efforts."The press was not only an intellectual enterprise; it was also a commercial one. Raimondi clearly hoped to sell his books in the East rather than the West because the selection of the works he produced showed little consideration with the type of material European scholars in this period needed. While the works failed to sell in the Ottoman Empire however they did significantly stimulate the study of the Middle East in Europe.Ferdinando de' Medici had ordered Raimondi to print 'all available Arabic books on permissible human sciences which had no religious content in order to introduce the art of printing to the Mohamedan community.' Only more than a century after the Medici Press in Rome had closed did it finally have the envisaged impact in the Levant; Ibrahim Müteferrika the first Muslim printer referring to it in his plea to the sultan to allow him to open his own printing house at Istanbul which happened in 1729." Boogert "Medici Oriental Press Rome 1584-1614".The copy was previously in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris at the time when it was entitled "Bibliothèque Imperiale" which was its name inbetween from 1849 to 1871. Thus the book entered the library in Napoleonic times and was later deaccessioned. Brunet II 1122-23Schnurrer 318Adams: B:1822 </em> hardcover
