Pages are in very good condition throughout with some scattered foxing/browinging in places.</p><p><strong>This is perhaps the earliest edition of the English Bible which has dates added in the margins based upon the famous work <em>Annales Veteris et Novi Testamenti</em> 1650-4 see inset above by James Ussher 1581- 1656 Archbishop of Armagh. Ussher dated the creation as year 1 counting time forward systematically using Biblical chronology and genealogy. He dated Job 2400 the Nativity 4000 and the exile of John to Patmos Island in year 4093. Biblical Historians generally agree that this took place in 90 A.D. It has been about 1900 years since this event and when added to the 4093 years that led up to this event= approx. 6020 years have passed to today showing the true age of the EARTH. In 1680 Oxford University Press printed their first folio edition of the King James Bible which included an index to accompany these marginal dates.</strong></p><p><strong>Oxford University Press</strong> <strong>OUP</strong> is the publishing house of the University of Oxford. It is the largest university press in the world. Its first book was printed in 1478 while over a century later the Press was officially granted the legal right to print books by decree in 1586. In 1633 King Charles the First granted a charter to the University permitting them to print all manner of books including the English Bible. This charter would not be acted upon for another 42 years <strong><em>until 1675 when they printed the King James Bible for the very first time. </em></strong></p><p>University of Oxford Press is governed by a group of 15 academics the Delegates of the Press appointed by the vice- chancellor of the University of Oxford.

16332057Mexico City: Por Francisco Salbago 1633. Good. 15189 of 192 leaves; lacking leaves ¶1 blank Y4-5 Zz3 Zz6-8. R1-2 cancels. Contemporary vellum manuscript spine label. Vellum worn front hinge separating. Deep marca de fuego along top edge with resultant loss occasionally touching headlines. Scattered contemporary manuscript annotations. Some foxing and soiling internally. The unrecorded first Mexican edition of this religious manual on "dying well" by Martin de la Madre Dios a Spanish Carmelite monk. The work was first published in Zaragoza where the author was ensconced in 1628 was translated into Latin 1640 & 1641 and French 1646 and was re-published twice in Spain 1643 & 1650 thus making the present edition the second overall. Although it was clearly a popular text the only edition surviving in more than one recorded copy is the 1641 Latin translation printed in Cologne and is clearly the type of book that received heavy use. <br/><br/>This genre of work attempted to provide a guide to Catholics on the significance of death and the steps to take in order to have a "good" death that would ease the way to heaven and treats death as the final most important religious ritual in the life of a Christian. The present work has a lengthy initial section explaining these views to its reader and providing examples of good deaths from the Bible lives of saints and even Greek philosophers. The second part covers the major acts necessary such as confession to enact a good death and the third most brief section contains instructions for the numerous smaller duties. <br/><br/>Francisco Salbago the publisher was the official printer of the Holy Office and the Inquisition in Mexico during the 1630s. This copy bears the marca de fuego of the Oratorio de San Felipe Neri in San Miguel de Allende. Slightly defective lacking three internal and three final leaves but nevertheless a good example of an otherwise unrecorded early 17th century religious manual and Mexican imprint.

1631ABC_48435Leiden 1631. 4to. Ex officina Bonaventura & Abraham Elzevir Contemporary blind-tooled vellum with overhanging fore-edge with the manuscript title on the head of the spine blue edges. With a woodcut printer's device on the title page le Solitaire 3 woodcut decorated initials 2 woodcut headpieces and a woodcut tailpiece. Ad 2 with a frame built up from typographical ornaments on the title page 3 woodcut decorated initials a woodcut headpiece plus 8 headpieces and 2 tailpieces built up from typographical ornaments. 2 works in 1 volume. 16 87 1 blank; 16 548 19 1 blank pp. Ad 1: First edition of a rare work with commentary on the four Gospels by an important Orientalist. The work is partly printed in Syriac Arabic Hebrew and Greek. Louis de Dieu 1590-1642 who was well-versed in all these languages was renowned for his interpretations of biblical texts which were based on a wide and profound linguistic learning. His studies were mainly concerned with the early and more recent translations of the Bible. In the present work he compares the Gospel texts in the Oriental languages with that of the Latin translations by humanist Desiderius Erasmus 1466-1536 and Calvinist Theodore Beza 1519-1605.De Dieu was a Dutch Protestant minister and a leading orientalist. He studied theology and Oriental languages at the University of Leiden under Thomas Erpenius and Jacob Golius. The present work is the first part of a series of four separately published works with commentaries on the New Testament. They were reprinted as a single body of work in 1693 under the title Critica sacra sive animadversiones in loca quaedam difficiliora. De Dieu also wrote the first Persian grammar published in Europe. Ad 2: The second work in this volume is a scarce treatise on the genealogy of Christ and the chronology of the "Passio Christi" based on evangelist sources. It has only been recorded in four libraries and we have not been able to find any other copies in sales records of the past century. It is apparently so scarce that the USTC has marked it as a "lost book".With a later annotation on the front pastedown about the contents of the work and an ownership annotation by Swiss theologian Johann Kaspar Hagenbuch 1700-1763 at the head of the title page. The vellum is slightly scratched and stained on the boards the work has been professionally rebacked with the original spine laid down. Ad 1 is slightly browned ad 2 is somewhat browned and water stained throughout otherwise in good condition.l Ad 1: Rahir Les Elzevier 322; STCN 832859540 10 copies; USTC 1028037; Willems Les Elzevier 346.

Rare first and until 1946 only edition of a concise account of the qualities needed to be a good ruler and the best Christian manner of educating people to be rulers by Jacinto de Deos or Deus Macau 1612-Goa 1681 a Capuchin Franciscan missionary in Goa under Portuguese rule dedicated to the Prince Regent and future King Dom Pedro II 1648-1706 of Portugal. Dom Pedro was 22 when De Deos published it though he had already been de facto head of state for three years. It was no doubt intended both for him and for the future education of his daughter and heir then two years old but in the event she died before him. The fact that De Deos was a Franciscan in Asia gives the book special significance for its insights into his attitudes for the Jesuits largely dominated the literature on missionary work in Asia. We know less about the Franciscans though they claimed priority over the Jesuits in most regions.Pedro Craesbeeck of Antwerp who had worked in Christoffel Plantins printing office there in the 1580s set up his own printing office in Lisbon by 1597 founding a prominent and highly respected printing dynasty that continued there to 1690.

1690178341Lisbon: Officina de Miguel Deslandes 1690. Holier than thou: Franciscan-Jesuit rivalries in East Asia First edition rare institutionally and in commerce of one of the few sources on Franciscan missionary efforts in China India and South East Asia during the 16th and 17th centuries. The politically motivated chronicle stresses the leading role of the order rather than the Jesuits in spearheading the expansion of Portuguese religious and political influence in the region. WorldCat records copies in seven locations only none of which are in Asia. "Jacinto de Deus is an important author given the limited number of works printed by the Franciscans in the East" "Brachilogia". Born in Macao in 1612 to a Portuguese father and Chinese mother Cecília da Cunha he was ordained as a Franciscan in 1630 and served for the next five decades in Madre de Deus province Goa. Vergel de plantas was completed in 1679 but only published after his death at Goa in 1681. It narrates the history of the order after its first representatives arrived in Goa in 1540 and describes the controversies surrounding the creation of Madre de Deus in particular the absorption of Franciscan custodies in Macao and Malacca into the new province's administrative and governing purview. A lengthy section representing pages 115 to 271 addresses interactions in China beginning with the abortive mission of Pedro de Alfaro to Canton in 1579 which unsuccessfully tried to challenge the Jesuit monopoly over dealings with China and exploit the governor of Guangdong's perceived openness to dealings with foreigners. The China section also draws on material from the writings of the Jesuit Gabriel de Magalhães 1610-1677 providing a description of the Chinese empire. Two copies with varying title pages are held at the Portuguese National Library and copies can also be found at the British Library Yale Harvard Indiana Minnesota and Leiden. Quarto 275 x 195 mm in sixes pp. xii 479. Ornamental woodcut initials headpieces and chalice motif on title page.

He passed his apprenticeship in 1646 and set up as a bookseller and publisher. In 1655 he and two others went to the Netherlands where he probably performed a service to Charles II in exile because he was named bookbinder to the king on 20 June 1660. He was also a part owner of the king's printing house with John Bill and Christopher Barker. In 1668 Charles petitioned to have Mearne and others admitted to the Stationers' Company. In the Stationers' Company Mearne would serve as warden and later master. In 1674 he became the stationer in ordinary to Charles and the next year he and his son were made grants for life to their position.</p><p>The earliest surviving books bound by Mearne come from 1655 while many survive from his time as bookbinder to the king.
