Praetorius, Michael - in an English Translation by Harold Blumenfeld
Syntagma Musicum Volume Two: De Organographia - First and Second Parts PRE-PUBLICATION "PROOF" COPY
New Haven Connecticut: Yale University 1949. Advance Reading Copy . Spiral Bound Stiff Covers. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Praetorius 1571-1621 was likely the most renowned German musician of the early 17th century and his encyclopedic three-volume "Syntagma Musicum" represented a compendium of all musical knowledge of the time as well as an exhaustive source on musical instruments new performance practices and their theoretical formulation. Volume II first appeared in 1619. This Yale University "in house" printing does not include the 42-woodcut "Theatre of Instruments" which appeared in the original though subsequent editions do e.g. Barenreiter & Da Capo Press. CONTENTS: Preface Blumenfeld; Dedication/Foreword Praetorius; Part I: The Nomenclature of Musical Instruments; Part Two: The Range and Properties of Musical Instruments; Technical Remarks on the Translation; ca. 120 pages with numerous musical examples its text in typescript. CONDITION: an unmarked copy with worn/sunned/soiled covers and compromised binding. When I found this item its plastic comb binding was crushed and incomplete with the cover holes torn. I soon discovered that the present-day standard plastic-comb-binding "teeth" were too far apart to fit the holes in this 1949 book. I tape-repaired the binding edge of the covers and inserted a metal spiral to hold everything together although the purchaser might choose to remove it and simply deal with a set of loose pages. This quite acceptable and useful copy is now in a clear protective polypropylene bag with archival backing board. <br/> <br/> Yale University unknown

(Bible in English)
The Holy Bible containing the Old and New Testaments: together with the Apocrypha
Worcester: Isaiah Thomas 1791. First Edition. 48 engraved plates complete. 1310 2 89 3pp. Separate OT and NT titles. The family register between the Apocrypha and NT unaccomplished. Royal quarto. Contemporary calf covers ruled in gilt spine gilt with raised bands red morocco lettering piece marbled endpapers joints cracked but cords holding worn at extremities spine a bit abraded with some loss at top. Foxing a few leaves with short tears or small voids. Provenance: Ebenezer Byles signature on verso of the OT title. Housed in a blue cloth clamshell box. First Edition. 48 engraved plates complete. 1310 2 89 3pp. Separate OT and NT titles. The family register between the Apocrypha and NT unaccomplished. Royal quarto. Thomas' quarto bible was published in three distinct issues: with 2 copperplates only i.e. frontispieces to the Old and New Testaments; with two copperplates and John Brown's 89-page concordance in the rear; and the rarest and most deluxe form as here with 48 copperplates and the concordance. Of this last issue according to Thomas's catalogue the work was published "in elegant binding." The explanation for the work being complete with 48 plates rather than the 50 plates of the folio Thomas bible of the same year is easily explained: the frontispieces used for the folio bible plates I and XXXIII were too large for the quarto edition and thus were omitted with plates XXIX and XLVIII used as frontispieces of the quarto bible instead.<br /> <br /> A very difficult edition to find in a contemporary unsophisticated binding. Evans 23185; Hills 30; ESTC W4496 Isaiah Thomas unknown
