‎BIBLE IN ENGLISH‎

‎Holy Bible Abridged:‎

‎Very Rare Early American Edition of a Childrenís Pocket Bible BIBLE IN ENGLISH. The Holy Bible Abridged: Or the History of the Old and New Testament. Illustrated with Notes and Adorned with Cuts. For the Use of Children. Two lines from Luke. Boston: Samuel Hall 1791. Early American edition and first Samuel Hall edition second Boston edition. There were only a total of five Children's bibles published in America before 1791. The First American edition was printed in Boston in 1782 by Robert Hodge for N. Coverly followed by a Worcester Massachusetts 1786 edition by Isaiah Thomas 1786 and 1788 Philadelphia editions and a 1790 New York edition. Our present copy was published the year after the New York edition. Thirtytwomo 4 1/8 x 2 3/4 inches; 104 x 67 mm. 4 vii-ix 8 18-173 1 pp. With frontispiece of Adam and Eve and fifty-nine crude but charming woodcuts illustrations depicting stories from the text meant to appeal to young children. The stories that have been abridged for use in this Bible generally consist of the more well- known stories which would be of interest to children such as Creation Adam & Eve and Jonah and the Whale from the Old Testament as well as the birth baptism and crucifixion of Jesus from the New Testament. Listed in Evans but not in Sabin. We could find no copies of this edition at auction and only one copy found at the Massachusetts Historical Society. All early American editions are rare and only two complete copies of the New York 1790 edition since 1976. There was the 1786 Worcester edition at auction in 2008 but it was incomplete. Contemporary marbled paper over boards repacked with matching paper. Inner hinges strengthened. Bound without endpapers. Some soiling and toning throughout. One leaf page 145 with some fraying to the edges not affecting text. Overall very good particularly for a childrenís book. The rarity of this book can somewhat be contributed to its very small size and that it was intended for the use of children. Something as delicate and tiny as this Bible in the hands of a child had little hope for a bright future. ìBy 1789 Bible story collections specifically for children had existed in the mother country for nearly a century an active market in the American colonies had not opened up. Neither American Protestants nor American Catholics of whom were growing in numbers seemed ready to give Bible stories to their children. In the 1780ís the American situation changed radically. Boston printers pirated Newberyís Holy Bible Abridged; in 1786 the astute Worcester printer Isaiah Thomas followed suit; and by 1815 The Holy Bible Abridged had been printed in urban and provincial print centers all over the America northeast.î The Bible for Children: From the Age of Gutenberg to the Present.

‎The Wedding of Sir Gawain‎

‎St. Petersburg: Dmitry Sayenko; Nikodim 2018. Limited edition. Hardcover. Fine. Two volumes folio. Slipcased. One of 20 copies signed by Owens and Sayenko in the colophon. Prospectus laid in. The volumes are in fine as new condition; the slipcase has a tiny bump on one corner else is fine.<br/> <br/>The main volume 56pp hardcover is in full grey linen with a linocut paste-on and brass corners. Tan endpapers. All pages of handmade paper and uncut replete with linocuts taken directly from the blocks and in multiple colors with the text letterpress deeply printed on dampened paper with Baskerville type. <br/> <br/>Volume 2 is also folio and in handmade paper wraps the upper wrap with a linocut of Gawain and Ragnell taken from the block and title by letterpress in red. 28pp. The text is printed offset on ivory machine-made paper and contains the complete Romance as transcribed from the sole manuscript by Frederick Madden and rendered into modern English by James J. Owens keeping the original cadence and rhyme schemes.<br/> <br/>The artist explains the first volume: loose pages in an attic from an old book some chewed by rats. The owner realizing they are from the same book puts them together as best he can even though some of the pages are artfully torn by the artist to imitate the effects of rats gnawing through paper.<br/> <br/>This is the story of Gawain and the Loathly Lady Dame Ragnell. For Arthur's sake and safety Gawain wed her and when he did exactly the right thing the spell was broken she shed her ugliness and became beautiful. The sovereignty of women was the key.<br/> <br/>Dmitry Sayenko is a Russian printmaker and book artist. His works are in private collections and in special collections in Russia Germany and England among others. For this bit of artistry he cut over 50 blocks made the paper printed it with text and illustrations while damp and bound the books. The deep impression of the illustrations and the text on the handmade paper are superbly satisfying. His renderings of a morose Arthur a gallant Gawain a Lady with ugliness to spare and finally the beauty in the ending: these are a perfect match for the text.
