The Genealogies which accompany this book have a similar typographical history to that of the King James Bible itself. John Speed was granted a patent in 1610 for ten years to issue and insert his Genealogies and double-page general map engraved by Elstrack in every edition of this Bible. ìThe King James Bible or the Authorized Version as it is now commonly but not strictly accurately known was the outcome of the conference summoned at Hampton Court by the King in January 1604 in an attempt to settle the quarrels in the Church of England arising from the Puritan zeal of some of its members. It was the leader of the Puritan party John Reynolds the President of Corpus Christi College Oxford who first suggested the idea of a new translation.It has been described as ëthe only literary masterpiece ever to have been produced by a committeeà and was the work of nearly fifty translators organized in six groups.Being based on a wider range of classical and oriental scholarship than its predecessors the Authorized Version was a more learned text.No new English translation was produced until the Revised Version of 1881 and the influence of the Authorized Version may best be described in the words of G.M. Trevelyan. ëFor every Englishman who had read Sidney or Spenser or had seen Shakespeare acted at the Glove there were hundreds who had read or heard the Bible with close attention as the words of God. The effect of the continual domestic study of the book upon the national character imagination and intelligence for nearly three centuries to come was greater than that of any literary movement in our annals or any religious movement since the coming of St AugustineÃî Printing and the Mind of Man 114 describing the 1611 first edition.

185067639A Family Bible with Six of the John Martin Bible Illustrations BIBLE IN ENGLISH. The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments: Translated out of the original tongues: and with the former translations diligently compared and revised by His Majesty's special command. Appointed to be read in churches. London Edinburgh and Glasgow: William Mackenzie n.d. ca. 1850. Folio. Measures 9 3/4 x 13 x 5/12 x 3 3/4 in. thick; 250 x 335 x 93 mm. thick. Illustrated with thirty full-page engravings by various artists including a frontispiece and a vignette title-page titled The Family Bible With Copious Notes and References two engravings by J. Stephens from photographs of the Holy Land by Frith and six engravings after John MartinÃs Old Testament illustrations ìThe Fall of Manî ìThe Destruction of Pharaoh's Hostî ìJoshua commanding the sun to stand stillî ìBy Babel's Streams We Sat and Weptî ìBelshazzar's Feastî and ìThe Fall of Ninevehî. Contemporary black polished calf over bevelled boards covers tooled in gilt and blind spine lettered and decoratively tooled in gilt in compartments. Gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. Minimal wear to extremities. Hinges neatly reinforced. A bright fresh copy throughout. Near fine. MartinÃs Biblical paintings are among the finest ever produced: ìThe spirit in which Martin worked is suggested by a passage in his catalogue for the large oil painting ëThe Fall of Ninevehà which he exhibited in lonely magnificence in 1827: ëThe mighty cities of Nineveh and Babylon have long since passed away. The accounts of their greatness and splendor may have been exaggerated. But where strict truth is not essential the mind is content to find delight in the contemplation of the grand and the marvelous. Into the solemn visions of antiquity we look without demanding the clear daylight of truth. Seen through the mist of ages the great becomes gigantic the wonderful swells into the sublimeÃî Ray The Illustrator and the Book in England from 1790 to 1914 p. 44. At the front of the Bible are three leaves of a family history partially inscribed with the births deaths and marriages of three generations of the Hubbard family of Derby England during the years 1889-1943. A lovely example of a nineteenth-century Bible. HBS 67639. $3000 William Mackenzie hardcover books
179168436Very Rare Early American Edition of a ChildrenÃs Pocket Bible BIBLE IN ENGLISH. The Holy Bible Abridged: Or the History of the Old and New Testament. Illustrated with Notes and Adorned with Cuts. For the Use of Children. Two lines from Luke. Boston: Samuel Hall 1791. Early American edition and first Samuel Hall edition second Boston edition. There were only a total of five Children's bibles published in America before 1791. The First American edition was printed in Boston in 1782 by Robert Hodge for N. Coverly followed by a Worcester Massachusetts 1786 edition by Isaiah Thomas 1786 and 1788 Philadelphia editions and a 1790 New York edition. Our present copy was published the year after the New York edition. Thirtytwomo 4 1/8 x 2 3/4 inches; 104 x 67 mm. 4 vii-ix 8 18-173 1 pp. With frontispiece of Adam and Eve and fifty-nine crude but charming woodcuts illustrations depicting stories from the text meant to appeal to young children. The stories that have been abridged for use in this Bible generally consist of the more well- known stories which would be of interest to children such as Creation Adam & Eve and Jonah and the Whale from the Old Testament as well as the birth baptism and crucifixion of Jesus from the New Testament. Listed in Evans but not in Sabin. We could find no copies of this edition at auction and only one copy found at the Massachusetts Historical Society. All early American editions are rare and only two complete copies of the New York 1790 edition since 1976. There was the 1786 Worcester edition at auction in 2008 but it was incomplete. Contemporary marbled paper over boards repacked with matching paper. Inner hinges strengthened. Bound without endpapers. Some soiling and toning throughout. One leaf page 145 with some fraying to the edges not affecting text. Overall very good particularly for a childrenÃs book. The rarity of this book can somewhat be contributed to its very small size and that it was intended for the use of children. Something as delicate and tiny as this Bible in the hands of a child had little hope for a bright future. ìBy 1789 Bible story collections specifically for children had existed in the mother country for nearly a century an active market in the American colonies had not opened up. Neither American Protestants nor American Catholics of whom were growing in numbers seemed ready to give Bible stories to their children. In the 1780Ãs the American situation changed radically. Boston printers pirated NewberyÃs Holy Bible Abridged; in 1786 the astute Worcester printer Isaiah Thomas followed suit; and by 1815 The Holy Bible Abridged had been printed in urban and provincial print centers all over the America northeast.î The Bible for Children: From the Age of Gutenberg to the Present.

There is another state according to Herbert that is priced 4s. and is wanting the Apocrypha. It is possible that they sold the leaves with and without the Apocrypha thus the difference in price. Because the sheets were sold unbound it is possible that they were issued as parts. 31 leaves from the Apocrypha E4 through I2 are misbound into Volume IV. In their correct spot are bound 2 blank leaves. Old Testament and New Testament have separate title-pages. With a chart page after the Old Testament and after the New Testament. Bible is complete.

Title-page of each volume with some old ink manuscript notes to top margin. Boards a bit rubbed and bumped. Some minor staining and wrinkling to bottom margin of signature Iii. Overall very good or better copy. Just two years after Joseph Bentham published this present copy his Bible of 1762 was marked the "standard edition" according to Darlow & Moule. Herbert 1131.

192221208Chisinau Moldava Кишиневь: Protodeacon Anisim 1922. Hardcover. Good. 4to. Foliated. 59-188 ff. Thick boards covered in calf and decorated with nailheads. Frontispiece of King David writing. Contains the Psalms arranged in kathismata then two other sections follow. Printed in Old Slavonic in red and black throughout.

The final leaf is semi-detached. There are no free endpapers; perhaps there never were. Overall only a good copy of a scarce Orthodox Old Believer Psalter printed in the early years of the Soviet era. Protodeacon Anisim hardcover books
