167312696Dordrecht Hendrick and Jacob Keur 1673/1673. gegraveerde titelpagina z.p. Originele Schildpadband met 2 zilveren sloten 4 zilveren schanierstukken 7 zilveren hoekstukken versierd met 120 'roosbriljanten' en goud op snede 8°. Nederlands Kerkboek bestaande uit het Nieuwe Testament in de Statenvertaling de Psalmen - met noten - van Petrus Dathenus en de Formulieren. Aantrekkelijke band gebonden in zwart met okerkleurig gevlamd schildpadschild. Het zilverbeslag is volledig versierd met in totaal 120 'roosbriljanten' gemaakt van geslepen glas. 10 briljanten ontbreken; er waren er dus totaal 130. Een klein stukje van de onderkant van de rug is weg evenals enkele minimale stukjes van de zijkant van de band. Het gebruik van het schild van de schildpad als bindmateriaal werd populair in de 17e en 18e eeuw en werd voornamelijk gebruikt voor het binden van religieuze geschriften kleine Bijbels gebedenboeken en geschenkboeken voor de gegoede burgerij. Het materiaal werd verkregen van uitheemse zeeschildpadden en was geliefd vanwege het uiterlijk de glans en de zeldzaamheid. Minder dan 4 procent van de luxere banden die in Nederland werden gebonden in de 18e eeuw werd in ander materiaal dan leer en perkament gebonden. Deze banden werden gezien als luxer en waren duurder. Dit geldt temeer voor schildpad aangezien de schilden niet op grote schaal werden geïmporteerd; hierdoor bleef het materiaal kostbaar en alleen toegankelijk voor de rijken. 2 works in one binding engraved titlepage n.p. Contemporary Tortoiseshell binding with 2 silver clasps 4 silver hinges 8 silver corner-pieces with rose-cut diamonds and gilt-edged text block 8°. Dutch church book containing the States Translation of the New Testament the Psalms -with musical notation- of Petrus Dathenus and the Forms. Attractive binding bound in black with ochre coloured flamed tortoiseshell. The silver fittings are completely decorated with 120 'rose-cut diamonds' made from cut glass. 10 pieces are missing so there were 130 in total. A small piece of the bottom of the spine is missing and some small pieces have been chipped off the sides of the binding otherwise fine. The use of tortoiseshell as a book-binding material became popular in the 17th and 18th centuries. It was mostly used for binding religious texts small Bibles prayer books and gift books for the wealthy middle class. The material came from exotic marine turtles and was valued due to its beauty shine and rarity. -The name tortoiseshell can therefore be misleading because the material has nothing to do with land tortoises. Fewer than 4 percent of the luxury bindings made in the Netherlands in the 18th century were covered in materials other than leather and vellum. These bindings were regarded as richer and were more expensive. This is considered even more for tortoise shells since the shells were not imported in large amounts; due to this the material remained expensive and only available for the rich.

The lavishly gilt overall pattern on both covers mainly consisting of pointillé-stamps and drawer-handle tools richly gilt spine with 6 compartments with floral motif and raised bands. This kind of binding is often attributed to Magnus as we can read in the catalog of the exhibition: ""Albert Magnus en zijn tijd"" 1961 pp.13: ""That he father Magnus Hendricksz. sent his gifted youngest son Albert to France to learn the trade. It is striking in this connection that there are several Bibles printed in Charenton which are provided with Magnus bindings"". Foot Henry Davis Gift I 237: ""It is unusual for any binder's shop to possess so many and so closely similar variants of a fair number of tools and as most of the bindings on which the slightly different tools have been used seem to have been produced during the period during which Magnus worked it is probable that we deal with more than one shop. Surely a town such as Amsterdam with a large and thriving book trade would have had more than one binder who was capable of producing well-bound beautifully finished books."" A fine binding by Magnus or his circle. Charenton, Estienne Lucas hardcover

Lord Mayor of Liverpool from 1791-1792 and 1793-1794 with Maggs 4/12/24. <br /> <br /> The work of an imitator of this binder greatly inferior in technical ability is found on a copy of the 1790 Oxford New Testament in the British Library C108c28 which is reproduced in the BL Bookbindings Database. <br /> <br /> The names of early Liverpool bookbinders are few but we have located two of them in Gore's 1766 "Liverpool Directory" namely Peter Wright on Bixteth Street and Richard Wright on George Street. The work of the present binder was not within the scope of Ramsden's "Bookbinders of the United Kingdom Outside London 1780-1840. It would appear that the Wrights continued working in Liverpool for some time. According to Ramsden the name Richard Wright appears in the 1777 and 1781 directories and Peter Wright in the 1790 directory. In the 1793 records of burials at Our Lady and St Nicholas Liverpool a certain William Wright is listed as a bookbinder on Sweeting Street.<br /> <br /> ¶ This edition of the Psalms is scarce: ESTC T206585 lists only 5 copies worldwide none in America.

When Congress agreed to purchase Jefferson’s library Milligan went to Jefferson’s Monticello home to inventory and appraise the collection. He also supervised its packing and transportation to Washington. When the transfer of Jefferson's book collection to Washington D.C. was completed in July 1815 Jefferson was already working with Milligan to rebuild a new library his ‘retirement library.' .
