167041594Coloniæ Agrippinæ Cologne Germany: Sumptibus Balthasaris ab Egmond & Sociorum. 1670. Hardcover. Very Good. 24mo; 81 119 pages; Contemporary full polished tan calf with five raised bands on the spine there is a red morocco label lettered in gilt "BIBLIA SACR" in the second panel. The central panel directly under the label has gilt tooling directly stamped reading: "T. 5." sic for "6". The other panels have elaborate gilt floral tooling the covers are framed with a single rule fin gilt marbled endpapers edges decoratively stained red. With a superb engraved armorial bookplate mounted to the front free endpaper -- a nine-point coronet surmounting a pear-shaped shield which contains a loop of rope surrounded by three stars and a crescent moon at the top. This excellent plate has no name no date and no identification of engraver. The binding is entirely consistent with the period of this 1670 book. The fine bookplate is in the Rococo style often denoted Louis XIV with no straight lines an elegantly curved pear-form to the heraldic shield and even the coronet atop the shield is at a slightly jaunty angle. This plate while unidentified is worth further study. In all a wonderful copy beautifullly preserved of the final volume of a miniature edition of the Sixto-Clementine Vulgate Latin version of the Bible 'Biblia Sacra Vulgatæ Editionis Sixti Quinti Pontificis Maximi iussu recognita atque edita' . This edition resembles but is slightly larger than the miniature edition published at Cologne in 1638-1639. Our volume is the final volume in the 1670 miniature set; these three Biblical texts form an appropriate end to the set as Clement VIII removed 3 and 4 Esdras and the Prayer of Manasses from the Old Testament and placed them as Apocrypha into an appendix following the New Testament -- "ne prorsus interirent" "lest they utterly perish". The first text the "Prayer of Manasses" is brief -- 15 verses of the penitential prayer of king Manasseh of Judah; occupying page 3 and half of page 4 only. "3 Esdras" -- called 1 Esdras in the King James Bible was extensively quoted by early Christian authors and it ws given a place in Origen's Hexapla. While it was not included in early canons of the Western Church it remains part of the Eastern Orthodox canon. "4 Esdras" is considered one of the gems of Jewish apocalyptic literature. It is canonical only in the Orthodox Slavonic Bible and a portion is part of the canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Like 3 Esdras it is widely cited by early church Fathers particularly Ambrose of Milan. Its verses provided sources for several liturgical prayers and may have suggested the text of the Introitus of the traditional Catholic Requiem Mass -- "Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them." These three texts preserved by Clement VIII are followed by an unpaginated index to the Biblical texts "cum indice Bibliorum triplici" -- specifically "Index Testimoniorvm a Christo et Apostolis in novo Testamento"; "Hebraicorvm Chaldæorvm Græcorvmqve Nominum interpretatio"; and "Index Biblicvs.". See Darlow & Moule no. 6239. Indeed the Bible Society copy deposited in Cambridge University is the only complete set I can find recorded of the full six volumes of this 1670 set. The Cambridge/Bible Society set is carefully described by an excellent catalogue entry available online with a Newton search which makes clear that our volume VI is the only one of the set not to have an additional engraved title-page before the text running title: "Pentateuchum Moysi". The other distinction is that this final volume is the only one to omit the Parisian portion of the imprint found in the other volumes "Parisiis : Væneunt apud Fr. Leonard". See OCLC Number: 265388382; Univ. Cambridge & Catholic Univ. of America but note that Catholic Univ. has only volume one. There are copies of volume VI like ours unaccompanied by others of the set of six at: Cleveland Public Library; Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen; Biblioteca Diocesana Tridentina "A. Rosmini" Trento Italy; and the Bibliothèque Mazarine Paris. A rare and fascinating appendix to the fine miniature set of the Sixtus-Clementine Vulgate -- which has elegantly encouraged owners for three and a half centuries to fulfill Clement VIII's wish that these books not "utterly perish." .

16291052Antwerp: Officina Plantiniana = Balthasar I Moretus grandson of Christophe Plantin 1629. Uniform gold-tooled goatskin morocco ca. 1700 sewn on 4 supports richly gold-tooled spines gold-tooled turn-ins and board edges the boards in a panel design each board with a double frame of triple fillets the inner 2 fillets in each frame closer together than the outer with an ornament stamped on the intersections of the fillets at the corners of both frames and a flower in each corner between the frames with its head toward the corner; the spine with the title - BIBLIASACRA or NOVVMTESTA - and volume - TOM. I. etc. - in the 2nd of 5 compartments INDEX in the 3rd compartment of volume VII and the other compartments filled with curls and dots: a style sometimes called grotesque gold-tooled turn-ins marbled pastedowns blue red white and yellow extensively swirled headbands in green and white gilt edges. Seven volumes with the ca. 1711 engraved armorial bookplate of Jean Le Normand 1662-1733 Bishop of Evreau and probably bound for him his bookplate probably removed from volumes II and III as bound. 24mo in 8s 11.5 x 7 cm. With a richly engraved general title page 6 volume title pages each with the same Plantin-Moretus woodcut compasses device a smaller woodcut compasses device plus 3 of 4 repeats 2 appear on the back of the colophon; each of the others on an otherwise blank leaf woodcut tailpieces woodcut decorated initials. Set in roman and italic types. The present copy with 3 extra letterpress divisional title pages perhaps specially printed for this copy when it was bound. 7 volumes bound as 9 Old Testament I-VII & New Testament I-II. A small Latin Vulgate bible printed by the Plantin-Moretus office in Antwerp the smallest-format edition of the Sixtine-Clementine authorized Catholic text. The first volume of the Old Testament has only the engraved general title-page while each of the remaining Old Textament volumes as printed has a separate volume title-page naming the books it covers including the volume with the apocrypha miscellaneos texts and the indexes. After the general title-page follow a preface to the reader the decree of the Council of Trent "Paulus Papa V. Ad futuram rei memoriam" Pope Paul V died in 1621 and a privilege dated Brussels 1611. The Old Testament also has prefaces to the books. The New Testament has no preliminaries except its title-page. In 1546 the Council of Trent ordered a revision of the Vulgate Latin Bible to establish an authorized Catholic text. Pope Sixtus V ordered the preparation of the new edition printed by the Vatican Press and published in 1590. The book has been variously described as 12mo 16mo and 24mo but it is in fact a 24mo in 8s. The three divisional titles possibly printed specially for this copy have vertical chainlines and may be in 18mo format. The binding stamps are finely cut and skilfully applied especially the curls on the spine so it is likely to have been executed by one of the great French binders of ca. 1700.With an owner's inscription on a free endleaf in volume IV as bound "ce livre apartient a monseigneur L'Evesque D'Evreux" presumably Jean Le Normand 1662-1733 Bishop of Evreux from 1711 to his death whose bookplate appears in 7 of the 9 volumes: the handwriting is old-fashioned for 1711 so the book could have come to Le Normand from an earlier Bishop of Evreux but perhaps he simply wrote in an old-fashioned style. The pagination of volume ii accidentally omits numbers 577-578 but no leaf is missing there. Very slightly browned with an occasional minor spot and with the library stamps on the letterpress title-pages abraded but still generally in very good condition. With small cracks in the hinges of 4 volumes minor wear on the board edges and corners and volume III as bound vol. ii as printed darkened but the binding is also otherwise in very good condition with the tooling clear and sharp. A lovely little Catholic bible beautifully bound ca. 1700 in French gold-tooled red morocco an unusually small format for a Catholic bible.l Darlow & Moule 6211 New Testament only; STCV 6650952; USTC 1003882; not in www.bibliasacra.nl.

According to Barbier the French controversialist Thierry de Viaixnes 1659-1735 who found himself often at odds with his superiors was the principal editor of the work; at the time of its preparation he was serving as director of an academy at Hautvilliers in the diocese of Rheims McClintock & Strong.<br /> <br /> Dedicated to Johann Friederich Karg von Bebenburg 1648-1719 whose signed portrait was drawn and engraved by C. Gustav of Amling. An advocate of maximal papal power Karg served as Privy Councilor of the Prince-Bishop of Bamberg and Würzburg Peter Philipp von Dernbach then of Elector Max Emanuel of Bavaria. He served as Dean of Our Lady in Munich and was entrusted by Emperor Leopold I with a legation to Pope Innocence XI. By these efforts he secured in 1688 the election of Prince Joseph Clemens of Bavaria as Archbishop of Cologne as a result of which he was made Chancellor and Minister of State here noted on the frontispiece.<br /> <br /> Provenance and annotations: Bookplate of Herman Blum Blumhaven Library & Gallery with his ticket below; two gilt-stamped ex-libris morocco labels: Henry W.

At the foot of the first text leaf the manuscript ownership note of a brotherhood of monks in Gmünd. The second gathering includes a leaf where text on the verso is printed only in 44 lines and an inserted half leaf stub printed one side only in one column.<br /> Four stubs of blanks are visible at the end of Esdra but the text is complete resuming with Tobias.<br /> This copy bound without the Interpretationes hebraicorum nominum as is often the case; that work appears frequently with Koberger editions of this period and "should perhaps be regarded as a separate work".<br /> And excellent and unsophisticated copy.

"The text was revised from additional MS sources; a list given at the end of the preface enumerates at least 16 MSS and 3 printed editions. This edition contains the first printing of the Prayer of Manasses in Greek and Latin. It is the text of this monumental edition which became the foundation of the official Roman vulgate ." Schreiber. The text of the Oratio Manassae is printed here for the first time leaf v8v.<br /> <br /> This is a tall and generally well preserved copy with good margins.
