An elegant Jacobean reissue of the Latin Book of Common Prayer: a compact service-book that carries the English Reformation into the language of scholarship. First issued in 1560 for use in colleges schools and universities the Liber offered an authorised Latin form of worship for learned institutions while remaining firmly within the post-Reformation settlement of the Church of England. In this 1604 John Norton reissue it survives as both devotional manual and academic artefact: a book meant to be handled consulted and used. By Church of England Author Bio: The Church of Englands Liber precum publicarum is the authorised Latin version of the reformed prayer book first issued in Elizabeth Is reign for use especially in scholastic settings. Modern catalogues and recent scholarship describe it as a revised Latin translation associated with Walter Haddon the Tudor humanist and civil lawyer long linked with the text. Synopsis: A Latin Book of Common Prayer with the Psalter appended designed for use where Latin remained the working language of devotion and learning. The work stands at the intersection of liturgy pedagogy and confessional statecraft: not a survival of the medieval rite but a consciously Protestant service-book recast in classical dress. The 1604 Norton issue continues the octavo form seen in the 1574 edition and later reissues.

1660MAIN024447ICambridge and Charlestown: Mitchell and Shepard. Good see notes. 1660. hardcover. hardcover. 8vo . 240 203pp . PLUS--> The Second Part of the Parable which begins with Chap. I: Of Carnal Security in Virgin Churches Scans available. Leather over thick boards. Significant 2" gouge to leather bottom rear foreedge corner corners through. Edgewear as you would expect. Hubbed spine with title label. Title page notes posthumously produced by Shepard's son and Jonathan Mitchell pastor at Cambridge with no date listed. In a box below it reports a printing in London 1660. Binding is holding together reasonably well but would benefit by some restorative measures. Paper is in quite nice condition but has rippling throughout as is common with books of this era. Have not had any luck to speak researching this though it does appear tp predate other copies by several decades. Calling this very scarce is more than fair.

Good or better complete copies of both works.<br /> <br /> Early edition of what still remains the authoritative version of the Book of Common Prayer comprising the official liturgy of the Anglican Communion and other historically related Christian churches. The first prayer book published in the wake of the English Reformation appeared in 1549 during the reign of Edward VI. That work was revised in 1604 during the reign of James I and again in 1662 during the reign of Charles II. While revision and supplementation has continued into the present era the 1662 edition of which the present copy is essentially an early reprint remains authoritative as the official prayer book of the Church of England.<br /> <br /> Despite the discrepancy in dates which appear on the title pages of the present edition the Book of Common Prayer and the Psalms of David comprise a single publication as noted at the collective title and confirmed by the signatures. The metrical Psalms by Sternhold and Hopkins often bound with the Book of Common Prayer is a separate work. <br /> <br /> Provenance: Bookplate of the Royal Institution of South Wales noting the gift of Col.

Added engraved title page signed by Romeyn de Hooghe dated 1691. 12 full-page etchings signed by de Hooghe that depict festival constructions for Williams entry into The Hague in 1691 and also portraits of William and Mary among other emblems. Engraved headpiece and initial decoration on dedication leaf signed by Schoonebeck followed by full-page engraved leaf honoring Chevalier with depictions of Atlas Aristotle and other muses. Full contemporary vellum blind-stamped with central lozenge design; very slight foxing or staining engravings fresh; covers slightly bowed. Initialled bookplate P.M.G to front pastedown. First Edition in French of this biography of William III of England extensively illustrated to show important events in the monarchs life. This work was privately printed for Nicolas Chevalier who was a hobbyist and coin collector. A large proportion of Dutch print-making at the end of the 17th century focused on William III. An almost categorical personality cult surrounded the stadtholder-king. Among the print-makers Romeyn de Hooghe 1645-1708 was an important and prolific late Dutch Baroque engraver and caricaturist. He is best known for his political caricatures of Louis XIV and propagandistic prints supporting William of Orange. De Hooghes 12 etchings of triumphal arches for this work are adaptations of plates in the works by Bidloo and Tronchin de Breuil published in 1691 and 1692. Adriaen Schoonebeek c. 1657- 1705 is often mentioned because of his appearance as witness for the prosecution in a court case against de Hooghe that formed the climax of a slanderous exchange of pamphets between Orangists and members of the Amsterdam faction in 1690. These animosities did not prevent re- employment of both engravers in executing plates for this Nicolas Chevaliers 1692 illustrated volume on numismatics and the life of King William. Rare.
