The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments: Newly Translated out of Original Tongues and with the former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised. Volume I Only. TheOld Testament. POCKET EDITION IN A HANDSOME 18th CENTURY BINDING.
Thomas Baskett Printer to the University. Oxford. 1762. Pocket Bible. Old Testament only. 13.5 x 7.5 cm. 12mo. Very handsomely bound in full 18th century black calf with lovely detailed gilt decorations to spine and boards. "I" to spine - no other text. All edges gilt marbled endpapers. Slight wear to head and tail of spine pages slightly browned o/w a lovely copy of the duodecimal edition of the Old Testament. John Baskett was quite a character in the history of Bible printing. Dr. John Lee who calls Baskett 'one of the greatest monopolists of bibles who ever lived' wrote a pamphlet about the prosecution brought by Baskett on other printers in Scotland. His early edition was so carelessly printed that it was at once named 'A Baskett-full of printers' errors' which is believed to be the original source of the term 'basket case' meaning something that is full of errors/faults and is therefore not fit for purpose; an example is the Parable of the Vinegar instead of The Parable of the Vineyard and thus The Great Oxford Bible is still known as "The Vinegar Bible." The name of John Baskett is last seen on a 12mo New Testament of 1742. He died on 22 June of that year. His sons Thomas and Robert printed the Old Testament in 1743. The name of Thomas alone appears on bibles after 1744 and the imprint so continued down to 1769. He issued editions of the Prayer Book between 1746 and 1757. 1762 hardcover

The Self-Interpreting Bible . By the Rev. John Brown . And an original Memoir of the Author.
1845. Glasgow William Mackenzie c. 1845. Large 4to. Original black morocco spine with raised bands and lettered in gilt ornamented in blind innder dentalles and all edges gilt; pp. iv family register not used additional steel-engraved title portrait of John Brown lix 1165 double-page birds-eye view of the Holy Land in steel-engraving; highly illustrated with steel-engraved plates map and tables; binding a little marked in places lower hinnge a little weakened; apart from occasional foxing a good and complete example of this sumptuous book production. The 18th-century Reverend John Brown was the son of a Scottish salmon fisher minister of the Secession church and theologian. As a young man he taught himself many languages and worked as a herdsman. 'Brown's learning while still a shepherd was so exceptional that he became the object of malign suspicion instead of wonderment. The allegation that he was in league with the devil he had to live down but such hostility may have induced him to gain employment as a travelling salesman—a chapman—in Fife Kinross-shire and the Lothians. His consuming interest in books however including religious works he found in the homes he called at displaced the business of selling and he was given up as "fit for nothing else but for being a scholar" Mackenzie 49' ODNB. His 1778 Self-Interpreting Bible remained in print until the twentieth century. Brown had 'transferred lists tables and other such aids from his dictionary. The Bible was a far more substantial work which did not prevent its becoming as Robert Burns bore out as familiar in Presbyterian households as John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and Thomas Boston's Human Nature in its Fourfold State. Brown's text was furnished with a battery of cross-references minor marginal notes short introductions to each book a summary of contents at the head of each chapter ‘reflections’ on each chapter - in effect applying its message to readers - and explanatory footnotes. A lengthy introduction deals with the Bible's authority and inspiration its interpretation and biblical history from creation. All were intended as the title made clear to make the Bible accessible to the humblest reader unlike much biblical scholarship today ibid. hardcover

A book of the Bible accepted as holy scripture byJews and Christians. Since the earliest recorded sources it has beenconsidered a book of the Old Testament by Christians;1 and since the8th century AD it has been considered one of the megillot scrolls ofthe Ketuvim the "Writings" the last section of the Tanakh or HebrewBible. Scripturally the Song of Songs is unique in that it makes noreference to "Law" or "Covenant". Nor does it refer to Yahweh the Godof Israel. And it does not explore "wisdom" in the manner of Proverbs orEcclesiastes although it does have some affinities to Wisdom literatureas the ascription to Solomon suggests. Instead it celebrates sexuallove.2 It gives "the voices of two lovers praising each otheryearning for each other proffering invitations to enjoy".3 The twovoices are in harmony each desiring the other and rejoicing in sexualintimacy; the women or "daughters" of Jerusalem form a chorus to thelovers functioning as an audience whose participation in the lovers'erotic encounters facilitates the participation of the reader.4.Wiki. .

Barboni printed a total of 12 works in Armenian from 1680 to 1690 comprising gospels psalters and other liturgical and devotional works.<br>Early in the seventeenth century as the Catholic church launched a campaign to bring Eastern Christians into its fold a large number of books were required. To meet this demand several Italian printing houses began to publish Armenian books. Despite the relative rise in printing in Armenian in this period all works are of the utmost scarcity today and many of them are virtually unobtainable. <br><br>In 1717 Manuk Petrosian Sebaastatsi known as Mkhitar was granted the island of San Lazzaro by the Venetian government and he and his congregation set up the Mkhitarist monastery that remains there today. They quickly became very active publishers having their books printed for them by Antonio Bortoli in Venice. Books printed in Venice prior to the Mkhitar printing period are rarely seen on the market. <br><br>OCLC only listing one copy: The British Library Incomplete.
