JUDAICA American BIBLE IN HEBREW and ENGLISH Isaac LEESER 1806 1868 editor
Torat Ha-Elo-Him . The Law of God .
Philadelphia: Printed by C. Sherman for the Editor 5605. Five volumes 8vo. 7 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches. Hebrew and English text on facing pages. Contemporary black morocco covers elaborately tooled in gilt spine gilt with raised bands in six compartments yellow endpapers gilt edges expert repairs to joints and tops of spines.<br/> <br/>Provenance: M. Nathans name in gilt on the upper covers<br/> <br/>The first Jewish translation of the Pentateuch into English: in an elaborate contemporary binding.<br/> <br/>More than any other person of his time Isaac Leeser 1806-1868 envisioned the development of a major center of Jewish culture and religious activity in the United States. He single-handedly provided American Jews with many of the basic religious texts institutions and conceptual tools they needed to construct the cultural foundation of what would later emerge as the largest Jewish community in the history of the Jewish people. Printed in 1845 this edition of the Pentateuch in five volumes included a vocalized Hebrew text of each of the Five Books of Moses together with an English translation and notes as well as the haftarot prophetic readings. Leeser actually began working on The Law of God in 1838. Among the factors involved in his decision to begin systematically working on a translation was the recent opening of Rebecca Gratz's Sunday School which met for the first time in March 1838 in Philadelphia and was desperately in need of appropriate study material. Students were compelled to use the King James Bible for want of a Jewish alternative. Religiously objectionable passages in other texts provided by Protestant organizations were either pasted over or torn out by Gratz's staff. Leeser who supported the Sunday School and was its chief academic resource person felt compelled to find more suitable texts for the students. The impetus for Leeser throughout was always his desire to provide the Jews of America with an English text of the Bible that was produced by one of their own and was not tainted by conversionist motivations. This binding is consistent with similar bindings on gift books of the era published and bound by Lippincott. This example with provenance to M. Nathans likely Moses Nathans 1811-1873 a prominent congregant of Philadelphia's Congregation Mikveh Israel.<br/> <br/>Rosenbach 569; Singerman 884; Goldman 7; Lance J.

ENGLISH SCHOOL 19th century
Fox Hunting Unkeneling Plate 1; Breaking Cover Plate 2; In Full Cry Plate 3; The Death Plate 4
London 1830. Aquatints coloured by hand. A fine complete series of four anonymous prints of hunting scenes possibly after the Alkens.<br/> <br/>The style and naming of these prints suggests an Alken origin for the series. Siltzer records a number of series by the Alken family in which the first plate is titled "Unkennelling." This title appears to be unique to them and supports the supposition that the present series are after the Alkens. Henry Thomas Alken was born into what became an artistic dynasty. He studied under the miniature painter J. T. Barber and exhibited his first picture a miniature portrait at the Royal Academy when he was sixteen. From about 1816 onwards he "produced an unending stream of paintings drawings and engravings of every type of field and other sporting activity. He is best remembered for his hunting prints many of which he engraved himself until the late 1830s.To many sporting art is "Alken" and to describe his work or ability is quite unnecessary." Charles Lane British Racing Prints pp. 75-76<br/> <br/>Cf. Siltzer pp.57-76. unknown books

Bible. New Testament. English. 1791. Authorized ie. "King James Version". i. e.
The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Translated out of the original Greek and with the former translations diligently compared and revised by the special command of King James I of England.
United States of America i.e. Worcester Mass.: Pr. at the press in Worcester Massachusetts by Isaiah Thomas 1791. Folio extra 400 mm; 16". New Testament ONLY. 1 f. pp. 7891012; 19 plts. <br><br>Present here is the extracted New Testament from => the first folio Bible printed in America from the press of the printer whom Ben Franklin called the "Baskerville of America." Being also only the fourth complete Protestant Bible in English printed in the former British colonies its text is the standard King James version printed in double-column format in roman type; and Thomas's production is famous for its typography its achievement in size the pages are 15.5" tall and especially its illustrations. The plates 19 of them were engraved by four of America's greatest artisans: J. Norman Alexander Doolittle Joseph H. Seymour and Samuel Hill.<br>Â Â Â Â "An alphabetical table of proper names" was planned but not printed as indicated by the catchword on the final page; the table does appear in the quarto edition Thomas printed the same year. This volume does contain at its end the whole Bible's "Index to the Holy Bible" and its several "tables" of Weights Measures and Coins; Time; Offices and Conditions of Men; and Kindred and Affinity. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Hills 29; O'Callaghan 38; Herbert 1353; Rumball-Petre Rare Bibles 171; Evans 23186 Wright Early Bibles of America pp. 7488. 18th-century mottled calf nicely rebacked with edges of boards renewed and text block resewn. Old waterstaining from light to severe throughout extending across text and image areas of plates with very variable impact; age-toning occasional staining and off-setting from plates in only the usual degrees. Lower margins display some notable chips and purposeful paper tear-aways and a good many closed tears; only the latter reach sometimes into text without loss. Several plates have had closed tears neatly repaired from the rear; the plate of Mary Magdalen and the final leaf of the last Table show OLD replacement of paper where original paper was torn away from blank areas; the copy retains the old dog-earings and page-creasings of long use and bears pencillings on its final leaf. => A copy that has seen much happen to it over its more than 200 years of existence; still a sturdy interesting and imposing copy of this impressive early American New Testament.

Bible. English. 1775. Authorized ie. King James Version. i. e.
The Holy Bible containing the Old and New Testaments; translated out of the original tongues and with the former translations diligently compared and revised.
Cambridge: Pr. by John Archdeacon 177576. 4to in 8s 28.8 cm 11.33". Frontis. 639 ff. <br><br>with accompanying volume The book of common prayer and administration of the sacraments and other rites and ceremonies of the Church according to the use of the Church of England: Together with the psalter or psalms of David.

Frontis. 2 v55 1 adv. pp. lacking half-title or initial blank and with Bible. Psalms. English. Sternhold and Hopkins. The whole book of psalms collected into English metre. Cambridge: Pr. by John Archdeacon 1785. 8vo. 64 ff.<br>Â Â Â Â This striking 18th-century set owned by a wealthy Englishwoman who spent much of her life in Switzerland for more on which see below pairs a handsome Cambridge Bible and BCP in => masterfully designed and executed deluxe matched bindings. The Bible opens with a frontispiece engraved by Charles Grignion after Francis Hayman; the Apocrypha are present in this copy and the New Testament has a separate title-page dated 1776. The BCP is bound with Companion to the Altar "Note This Book is bound up with the Common-Prayers of several sorts printed by the University of Cambridge" as per the title-page; Sternhold & Hopkins bring up the rear.<br>Â Â Â Â Bindings: Contemporary mottled green morocco covers framed in Greek key roll and dentelles composed of urn and flower motifs surrounding central JHS medallions with red morocco inlays and gilt-tooled flames; spines with gilt-tooled compartment decorations Bible spine with gilt-stamped red leather title-label. While the covers of the two volumes are strongly similar overall and "read" as => identical on first glance the details of the design vary slightly between the Bible and the BCP as the size disparity and possibly the time gap between the publication dates necessitated the use of different tools. The spine designs differ more notably but still most companionably with the Bible's spine decorations being built up with foliate and floral motifs and the BCP's with suns and stars. => To engage in minute comparison of these bindings' detail is an entrancing exercise.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Front free endpaper of Bible used for family record: Francis James Barwell de Sandol Roy born in 1793 and died in 1813 "Quel angoisse!"; Henri Guillaume de Sandol Roy born in 1797; and a list of grandchildren: François Sophie Anna and Alfred. The title-page inscription confirms that this set was owned by Sophie Bridget Barwell de Sandol Roy 17691850 daughter of William Barwell a director of the East India Company; her brother Richard became a famously wealthy and scandalous nabob. Dubbed "la belle Anglaise" following her arrival in Neuchâtel Sophie made a great splash in Swiss society and received a proposal from Colonel François Isaac de Sandol Roy sometimes given as Sandol-Roy a proposal which she at first rejected until he subsequently saved her from the guillotine in revolutionary Paris! For more on their story please see Musée Neuchatelois 1923 ed. pp. 24 which includes a reproduction of a portrait of Sophie de Sandol-Roy done by Sir Joshua Reynolds. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Bible: Darlow & Moule 1247; ESTC T88808. BCP: Griffiths Bibliography of the Book of Common Prayer 1781:1; ESTC T212010. Companion: ESTC T76554. Psalms: ESTC T221010. Bindings as above moderate rubbing to extremities and sides with limited scuffing only; all edges gilt marbled endpapers and original matching dark blue bookmarks present still attached. Bible with small area of waterstaining to lower inner margins of first few leaves including frontispiece; varying faint to moderate foxing; one leaf with small repair to upper outer margin. BCP with a few instances of light foxing pages mostly clean; laid in is a stitched pamphlet which seems to be a record of additional family information involving Albert Victor and Mary although written in a challenging hand. => A gorgeous lavish production altogether with a remarkable arresting provenance.

Bible. NT. English. RheimsBishops' version. 1633. N. T.
The text of the New Testament of Iesus Christ translated out of the vulgar Latine by the Papists of the traiterous Seminarie at Rhemes . Whereunto is added the translation out of the original Greeke commonly used in the Church of England.
London: Pr. by Augustine Mathewes one of the assignes of Hester Ogden 1633. Folio 33.3 cm 13.25". Frontis. engr. t.-p. 58 912 18 25 1 206 2 17 1 blank pp. <br><br>When the Jesuit scholars at Rheims succeeded in printing their Catholic translation of the New Testament into English first edition 1582 the event affected various English Protestant scholars in different ways: Some were offended or outraged others intrigued and yet others spurred to action. William Fulke of Pembroke College Cambridge was among those offended outraged and spurred: In 1589 he produced the first edition of his work attempting to refute the Rheims New Testament. His approach however which was to print the Rheims NT in parallel columns with the Bishops' NT the then accepted version of the Church of England supplying accompanying notes and explanations had unforeseen consequences.<br>Â Â Â Â As Darlow and Moule comment "by printing the Rheims Testament in full side by side with the Bishops' version Fulke secured for the former a publicity which it would not otherwise have obtained and was indirectly responsible for the marked influence which Rheims exerted on the Bible of 1611." Alan Thomas elaborates by observing that "many a dignified or felicitous phrase was silently lifted by the editors of King James's Version and thus passed into the language" Great Books and Book Collectors p. 108.<br>Â Â Â Â This is the fourth edition "wherein are many grosse absurdities corrected." A portrait of William Fulke precedes the engraved title-page both done by William Marshall. The Biblical text is followed as issued by Fulke's Defense of the Sincere and True Translation of the Holy Scriptures into the English Tongue against the Manifold Cavils Frivolous Quarrels and Impudent Slanders of Gregorie Martin. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â STC 2nd ed. 2947; Darlow & Moule 371; ESTC S121246; Herbert 480.

Bible. NT. English. 1600. Rheims. N. T.
The New Testament of Iesus Christ faithfully translated into English out of the authentical Latin diligently conferred with the Greeke and other editions in divers languages.
Antwerp: By Daniel Vervliet 1600. Small 4to 21 cm; 8.25". 18 ff. 745 1 pp. 13 ff. <br><br>The second edition of the Roman Catholic new Testament in English. The translation is the work of a number of English Catholic priests but principally of Gregory Martin who fled to France in 1568 because of persecution in their native land and under the direction of Dr. later Cardinal William Allen founded the English College at Douai. The college moved for a short time to Rheims but subsequently returned as the title-page here attests.<br>Â Â Â Â The first edition of this translation was issued at Rheims in 1582 in over-sanguine hopes that its sale would be successful enough to underwrite the cost of a prompt production of the Old Testament. The two-volume O.T. did not appear however until 1609/1610.<br>Â Â Â Â The second edition of the Rheims N.T. is a revision of the first not merely a reprinting of it and contains a "Table of Heretical Corruptions" not found in the 1582 printing and a new preface. In an era of noticeable decline in the art of printing this Testament enjoys far better than average typography. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Darlow & Moule 198; Herbert 258; STC 2989; ESTC S102510. Late 17th- early 18th-century English calf with concentric blind panels on covers in contrasting tones of brown and tan all edges deep red; covers with scrapes and bumps rebacked with hinges inside strengthened new endpapers with 1906 owner's inscription on front free one. Title-page dust-soiled and torn in upper margin with some loss of decorative border page skillfully remargined with blank paper. Some foxing and age-soiling in early leaves; this similarly at rear starting around p. 640 and most notable in Tables with also some dust-soiling and with light waterstaining across a good number of upper outer corners. Overall a good to very good copy sturdy and appealing. By Daniel Vervliet unknown books
