Aitken Bible: Aitken Robert printer & publisher
THE HOLY BIBLE CONTAINING THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS: NEWLY TRANSLATED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL TONGUES; AND WITH THE FORMER TRANSLATIONS DILIGENTLY COMPARED AND REVISED
Philadelphia: Printed and sold by Robert Aitken 1782. Two parts bound in one volume. 1452pp. text in two columns. Complete with title- leaves to both the Old and New Testaments along with the certification leaf from Congress. 12mo. Contemporary sheep. Binding rubbed. Light toning and foxing. Contemporary notations on rear endleaves. A very good copy in contemporary condition. In a blue half morocco slipcase and chemise spine gilt. The Aitken Bible is one of the most celebrated American bibles being the first complete English Bible printed in America. During the colonial era the monopoly on printing English bibles belonged to the Royal Printer and the colonies were supplied entirely with bibles printed in England. The first Bible printed in the British colonies in America was the famous Eliot Indian Bible in Algonquin issued in Cambridge in 1661-63 and reprinted in 1680-85. The 18th century saw the printing of bibles in German. With the American Revolution the British monopoly on English-language bibles naturally ended and the embargo on goods from England acted to create a shortage. Aitken a Philadelphia printer undertook the task producing the New Testament in 1781 and the Old Testament in 1782. On completion he petitioned the Continental Congress for their endorsement and received it in September 1782. Because of this official endorsement and the reasons behind its production the Aitken Bible is often referred to as "The Bible of the Revolution." This highspot amongst printed Americana has become very difficult to find in any condition. The present example despite minor faults is a very nice copy of a work almost inevitably found in poor condition here in a contemporary American binding. <br> <br> This copy has four pages of annotations by the Shipman family beginning with the marriage of Paul Shipman and Mary Bond in 1780 and extending through the death of George Shipman in 1846. A note on the rear fly leaf reads: "Paul Shipman's Bible bought of Majr. William Helms in Hacketstown December 23th 1783 price of 6/-. Printed by Robt. Aitken at Pope Head three doors above the Coffey house in Market Street Philadelphia in 1782." <br> <br> A major rarity in American bibles and American printing. DARLOW & MOULE 928. SABIN 5165.

MMMMM gathering repeated. A good unsophisticated copy. The first Bible printed in Vermont illustrated with eight plates and a map. Copies with the map and full complement of plates are most uncommon. Printed by John Cunningham and published in Windsor by Merrifield and Cochran who sold the volume both wholesale and retail "at the sign of the Bible" the edition was also to be sold in Worcester Boston Walpole and Middlebury. The eight plates produced in a simple style O'Callaghan describes them as "exceedingly coarse" were engraved specifically for this edition and all are labelled as belonging to the first Vermont edition. They include: "Elijah Raising the Widow's Son" "The Holy Family" "St. Matthew" "St. Mark" "Jesus of Nazareth Which was Crucified: He is Risen; He is Not Here" "St. Luke" "St. John the Evangelist" and "St. Paul."

O'Callaghan and Hills call for seven plates total six by Eddy and one by Hill but McCorison calls for eight as found here. The anonymous "A Map of Palestine Describing the Travels of Jesus Christ" is not called for in any of the bibliographies cited.

Bible in German
THE GERMAN BIBLE IN AMERICA. WITH 25 ORIGINAL LEAVES. Introduction by Don Yoder
New Haven; Bryn Mawr; New York 2012. 20; 20pp. text in both English and German plus twenty-five original leaves and six additional illustrated leaves tipped into accompanying folders. Large folio. Fine. In a clamshell box. The German Bible in America has a long and significant history reflective of the European culture which gave it birth; the local conditions of Pennsylvania where it rose to its greatest heights; and the rich German-American culture created by emigrants and their descendants in the 19th-century United States. From the first American edition of a Bible in German in 1743 through the late 19th century numerous printers and publishers issued bibles in various formats ranging from large folios intended for lectern use to smaller versions for personal study. This leaf book celebrates the range and richness of these productions indicative of the world of German culture in America in the 18th and 19th centuries as expressed through its most widely studied text in a series of twenty- five leaves. Each set contains two versions of the descriptive text one in English and the other in German with an introduction by Don Yoder Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies Folklore and Folk-Life at the University of Pennsylvania. Further text describes the printers of each leaf the circumstances under which they were printed and other attributes. Each leaf is enclosed in an individual folder. <br> <br> The German Bible in America is issued in an edition of sixty copies with fifty of the regular series and ten additional deluxe copies containing six extra leaves of illustrations from the illustrated bibles included in the collection. This is one of ten deluxe copies lettered by hand. unknown books

Ink stamp of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions Library on front pastedown verso of titlepage and final text page. Scattered foxing and age toning. Very good in original condition. In a half morocco box. The first joint publication of the Old and New Testaments as an entity in the Hawaiian language printed for the American Bible Society at the Mission Presses in Oahu Old Testament and Honolulu New Testament. A number of printings of various books or groups of books of the Bible were printed as early as 1827 and the first Hawaiian printing of the New Testament appeared in 1835 with the Old Testament following in 1838. These printings are frequently found bound together although issued separately. This is the first publication of the complete approved text as an entity paginated continuously and issued as one book. The New Testament has its own titlepage p.1129 and imprint. The verso of the first titlepage bears the words "Ka lua o ke pai ana" the second printing referring to the only other printing of the entire Old Testament in 1838 at the same press. A second printing of the entire Bible was made later in 1843; but curiously enough Judd et al record no other complete printing of the Bible in the Hawaiian language through 1899. <br> <br> A handsome copy of an important Hawaiian Bible in a Hawaiian binding. JUDD 265. FORBES 1416. HUNNEWELL pp.24-25. Na Na Misionari I Pai unknown books
