(RICCARDI PRESS). BIBLE IN ENGLISH - KING JAMES VERSION
THE FIRST BOOK OF MOSES CALLED GENESIS
London: Riccardi Press Philip Lee Warner for the Medici Society 1914. No. 288 OF 500 COPIES ON PAPER and 12 on vellum. 272 x 205 mm. 10 5/8 x 8". xv i 88 pp. 2 leaves. <br/> Original linen-backed pale blue paper boards top edge gilt others untrimmed. In the original blue-gray printed dust-jacket. Woodcut Riccardi Press device on final leaf title vignette and 10 color plates with captioned tissue guards after F. Cayley Robinson. Ransom p. 395; Tomkinson p. 149. ◆Dust jacket a little darkened and with minor chips and tears around edges a couple light stains and a little rubbing to lower edges of binding light browning to part of the pastedowns but a nearly fine copy the often-missing dust jacket generally quite well preserved and the text and plates with only isolated trivial blemishes.<br/> <br/> This is an attractive printing of the first book of the Bible in the august language of the Authorized Version and with ethereal color plates by Frederick Cayley Robinson depicting key events from the text. Painter set designer and book illustrator Robinson 1862-1927 studied art in London Paris and Florence and was much influenced by Edward Burne-Jones. Rendered in pale tones the plates here include one of Robinson's finest works "Death of Abel" which captures in DNB's words "the horrific moment after the fratricide—the 'frozen moment' held for eternity." DNB says further that our volume represents Robinson's "finest achievement as a book illustrator." Founded by Herbert Horne the Riccardi Press was adopted as the imprint of the Medici Society in 1909 and issued books until 1933. According to Tomkinson "the books have nearly all been printed at the Chiswick Press under the supervision of Charles T. Jacobi until his retirement in 1922 and published by Philip Lee Warner who was Publisher to the Medici Society until his death in 1925. . . . The aim of the Press has been to produce finely printed books at reasonable prices and for sale through the ordinary channels of trade. . . . All editions are strictly limited and the type is distributed after the edition has been printed.". [Riccardi Press] Philip Lee Warner for the Medici Society unknown

With presentation inscription on front flyleaf dated 1891 and inked record of the recipient's marriage and the births of his children. â—†Spine gently and uniformly sunned a shade lighter two hardly noticeable small abrasions to rear cover offsetting from turn-ins to free endpapers as almost always but still a fine copy in a remarkably handsome binding with few signs of use.<br/> <br/> The appealing binding on this treasured family Bible was created in Cambridge by Vere Stoakley who took over the workshop of J. Hawes on that craftsman's death in the late 1880s; he signed his work "Stoakley Late Hawes" to acknowledge this connection. The firm specialized in academic bindings to supply scholars from the university and continued in business until the 1920s. The present binding clearly is much more elaborate and beautiful than what might be expected for an academic on a small budget. Printed by C. J. Clay & Sons at the University Press unknown

BIBLE IN ENGLISH. (BINDINGS - VICTORIAN)
THE HOLY BIBLE CONTAINING THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS
Oxford: Printed at the University Press by Samuel Collingwood and Co 1838. 137 x 79 mm. 5 1/2 x 3 1/4". 528 leaves. <br/> VERY PRETTY NAVY BLUE CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT covers with gilt-rule border intricate cornerpieces of small floral and botanical tools raised bands spine compartments very densely gilt with floral tools and stippling gilt titling turn-ins with gilt floral cornerpieces millefleurs silk fabric endleaves all edges gilt. Front flyleaf with ink ownership inscription of Anne Robinson dated 1839; front flyleaves with ink annotations and Bible verses in three different 19th century hands laid-in note giving the chain of ownership in Anne Robinson's family for the next century. â—†Half a dozen leaves with small light brown spot margins trimmed a bit close but no loss but A VERY FINE COPY clean and fresh internally IN A SPARKLING BINDING.<br/> <br/> This charmingly bound little volume was the perfect book of Scripture for a Victorian lady and was cherished by generations of her family. The very feminine floral binding suggests that it was bound as a gift for Anne Robinson who used it very gently for her personal devotions--and no doubt as an attractive accessory to her Sunday church ensemble. The annotation of favorite passages offers insight into the owner's spiritual life and the inlaid handwritten "chain of title" is testament to our volume's status as family heirloom. Robinson and her successors clearly treasured it as it is little changed from the day it left the bindery. The condition is notably splendid here.

London: Printed by George Eyre and Andrew Strahan 1820. 142 x 80 mm. 5 5/8 x 3 1/8". 510 pp.; 80 2 pp. <br/> VERY FINE CONTEMPORARY STRAIGHT-GRAIN PURPLE MOROCCO ELABORATELY GILT covers with frame of gilt rules and anthemion-and-flower roll central panel with arabesque corners central sunburst medallion containing the Tetragrammaton within a triangle from which the dove of the Holy Spirit descends raised bands spine panels gilt in a floral and arabesque design gilt titling turn-ins with zig-zag gilt roll orange endpapers all edges gilt. Front pastedown with large morocco bookplate of Louisa Smyth dated 25th Dec. 1821 and signed with the initials E. P. Front flyleaf inscribed: "Harriet E. Thorpe / From her affectionate / Brother-- / As a remembrance of / her dear Aunt L. Dickens. / Nov. 1841." Griffiths p. 246. â—†A breath of rubbing to corners but A BEAUTIFUL COPY with no signs of use--clean fresh and bright internally and in a sparkling ORNATE binding.<br/> <br/> Bound in somber purple but with religious imagery in bright gilt this pretty little prayer book is very typical of an era in which such luxurious volumes were popular gifts among the moneyed classes as was the case here. Miss Louisa Smyth must have treasured this Christmas gift from "E. P." as its condition clearly indicates it was seldom if ever used for daily devotions. It likely served as a perfect accessory for Louisa's Sunday finery and perhaps she carried it at her 1831 wedding to Lt. Col. Thomas Mark Dickens of the Royal Engineers. After Louisa's 1841 death the book passed to Harriet E. Thorpe wife of Louisa's nephew Rev. William Smyth Thorpe. Both families are well documented in the county of Norfolk where their eminent lineage goes back generations. Whoever inherited our prayer book from Harriet continued to care for it assiduously as it appears little changed from the days when Louisa first held it in her hands.

Printer's device on title page. Title page inscribed "Gyven to name inked through but perhaps "Thomas Langham" by the author Jo. Norden"; tail margin of title inscribed "Constantin Aclyn his booke"; 19th century ink signature of Benjamin Hynam on recto and verso of title. Front pastedown with early 20th century bookseller's description pasted on. STC 18614; ESTC S113322. â—†Boards a bit soiled but otherwise unworn minor dust-soiling or browning to head margins one quire a little browned occasional trivial smudges or tiny rust spots but an excellent copy generally clean and fresh.<br/> <br/> Written during a fallow period in the author's regular career as a cartographer this work emphasizing the importance of service to God for all leaders and common soldiers in the sovereign's army was inscribed by the author to a friend or patron. One of several works Norden dedicated to the earl of Essex it got our author into professional difficulties when Essex's enemy Robert Cecil rose to power and was in a position to impede Norden's career as a mapmaker. Norden quickly tried to push responsibility onto a "false Norden" from Kent he was from Somerset but biographer Frank Kitchen has established that the shared "interests backgrounds written expression everyday circumstances and style" indicate there was but one author. Though best known for his surveys and maps--including the first county maps of England to include roads--the pious Norden ca. 1547-1625 also produced numerous works of devotion and prayer among them the enormously popular "A Pensive Mans Practice" which went to 40 editions in his lifetime. While his sincere religious sentiments are not to be doubted it must be acknowledged that Norden was most moved to write these manuals when he was between surveying jobs and short of money. Aimed at soldiers of every rank the present work urges the "necessity of the fear and service of God" and "the use of all divine virtues both in commanding and obeying practicing and proceeding in the most honorable affairs of war." Norden also encourages civilians to support and respect the military and to pray for men-at-arms. This is an especially rare work: OCLC and ESTC find five copies in U.S. libraries and except for the two copies in the Cottesloe Library there seems to have been only one other--defective--copy at auction listed by RBH and ABPC. The present item is even more desirable as an extremely uncommon presentation copy signed by a 16th century English author. Printed by the Widow Orwin for Thomas Man unknown

According to Heuser Sutcliffe penned "a national security strategy for England" and one that Robert Devereux Earl of Essex to whom the work is dedicated put into practice in the country's ongoing conflicts with Spain leading to the operation that resulted in the successful capture of Cadiz in 1596. Sutcliffe had met Essex at Trinity College Cambridge where he had likely served as one of the young earl's tutors. DNB observes that Sutcliffe who studied law before becoming a doctor of divinity applied his legal training to this work in which he examines not only fortifications aggressive and defensive tactics and the practical considerations of recruiting paying feeding and housing armed forces but also discusses laws and regulations governing the military. Cockle notes that the work "was well known both at home and abroad" and that it "urged the importance of military studies." Following this consequential work Sutcliffe restricted his writings to theological subjects and enjoyed a 40-year career as dean of Exeter Cathedral. This work is rare in the marketplace: ABPC and RBH find just three other copies at auction in the past 40 years. Deputies of Christopher Barker unknown

London: printed by Thomas. Snodham. for Iohn Stepneth and are to be sold at his shop at the west-end of Paules Church 1612. FIRST EDITION. 205 x 155 mm. 8 x 6". 18 p.l. 611 1 pp. 601-08 misnumbered 561-68 8 leaves. <br/> New unlettered limp vellum by Courtland Benson in imitation of the original binding. STC 1896; ESTC S124314. â—†Half a dozen gatherings a little browned occasional mild foxing or small rust spots additional trivial imperfections otherwise an excellent copy clean and very fresh in a pleasing new binding.<br/> <br/> This conversation manual by an Italian teacher based in London offers an intriguing glimpse into the lives and concerns of the wealthier classes in 17th century Europe. An early effort to teach language through dialogue the book is part cultural history part guide to better health and it is clear evidence of the importance of the study of Italian in Elizabethan and Jacobean England. The seven dialogues cover subjects from health to travel to servants with Italian and English text on facing pages. Many of the dialogues begin with phrases that will be familiar to all beginning language students: greeting others selecting items of clothing asking prices or directions ordering food. As the conversations progress they explore various topics that one might expect to encounter in polite society. An early morning exchange between master and servant evolves into a discussion of the importance of sleep the optimal amount of sleep for good health and the significance of dreams. A dialogue that begins with ordering meals leads to an involved colloquy about the benefits and disadvantages of fasting and abstinence; the virtues and defects of bread butter meat dairy and eggs; diet recommendations for the healthy and the sick; the best diet for each season; and the importance of a walk after dinner. Other dialogues include advice for travellers observations on the political situation and life at court and finally a discussion of that most eternally fascinating topic: love. This work is of continuing interest and value to linguists as it documents the Benevento Italian dialect which is in need of preservation. It's an extraordinarily rare book probably because it was the sort of volume subjected to hard use: in addition to ours we could trace only two copies in ABPC and RBH since 1948. printed by T[homas].

BIBLE IN ENGLISH. (THE MACKLIN BIBLE)
THE HOLY BIBLE. THE OLD TESTAMENT EMBELLISHED WITH ENGRAVINGS FROM PICTURES AND DESIGNS BY THE MOST EMINENT ENGLISH ARTISTS with: THE NEW TESTAMENT
London: T. Bensley for T. Macklin final volume Bensley for T. Cadell & W. Davies 1800. First Printing of this Edition. 484 x 390 mm. 19 x 15 1/4". Seven volumes. <br/> Once splendid contemporary black straight-grain morocco gilt covers framed by Greek key roll palmette roll and multiple gilt rules double raised bands spine compartments densely gilt with rows of alternating star and circlet tools gilt titling turn-ins with gilt chain roll purple endpapers all edges gilt some inexpert but not obvious repairs to joints and backstrips. With more than 100 allegorical headpieces and tailpieces and some 70 SPLENDID LARGE-FOLIO SIZE COPPER PLATES after Fuseli Reynolds West and others. Herbert 1442 and 1651. ◆Extremities rather rubbed boards a bit scuffed but the decorative contemporaneous bindings solid and not without appeal. Plates somewhat foxed mostly to margins mild to moderate offsetting from plates occasional mild offsetting in the text bed but still a fresh wide-margined copy.<br/> <br/> The most prodigious form of scripture in English ever published the Macklin Bible features very large and bold type fine Whatman paper and a series of engravings by some of the most celebrated artists of the period. Like the Boydell "Shakespeare Gallery" also printed by Bensley our Macklin Bible is a vast picture book with illustrations that are grand both in size and emotional impact. According to DNB Macklin 1752/3-1800 announced his intention to produce a lavishly illustrated luxuriously produced folio Bible in 1789 and he spent the next 11 years and £30000 making his dream a reality. His efforts paid off: "the subscription list for 703 copies at £46 1s. apiece was headed by the king the queen and the prince of Wales." Sadly Macklin died just five days after the last engraving was finished and did not live to see his masterpiece become one of the most acclaimed English Bibles. As DNB observes "The Macklin Bible endures as the most ambitious edition produced in Britain often pirated but never rivalled." Copies of the Macklin Bible were often put into ornate bindings as was the present set; despite the depradations of time the workmanship of a superior London binder remains apparent. T.
