Kata tous Hevdomekonta. Cambridge: James Field 1664. 12mo. 1 f 171 1 blank pp. lacks blank leaf k6. The mid-17th century was a low point in the history of English typography but in this pair of Anglican religious texts James Field printer to the University of Cambridge produced => a very good example of the printer's art of Greek printing especially in the use of a small point size. The guiding force behind their production was James Duport 160679 dean of Peterborough and master of Magdelene College Cambridge a noted scholar of Latin and Greek and supporter of the university press. The preface to the Book of Common Prayer is signed with his initials and it is established that he was the editor of the Psalms; the texts were almost certainly issued together but are also at times found individually in contemporary binding. Field's minute typography here is dense and presented chiefly in double-column format in both works; and instead of woodcut head- or tailpieces and xylographic initials he deploys printer's ornaments to enliven the text at the top of some sections and occasionally elsewhere. => The layout is overall lovely and thoughtful and the printing is extremely clear and precise. Binding: Contemporary morocco with covers framed in a single blind fillet; spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label and gilt-stamped compartment decorations. Marbled endpapers all edges gilt. => All pages ruled in red in the best style of the era. Provenance: Isaac Watts 16741748 the godfather of English hymnody is also fondly remembered for his Psalms of David: Imitated in the Language of the New Testament a work that was reprinted over a thousand times. His ownership signature is on the blank leaf opposite the BCP title-page here. Later the volume was owned by Charles Mayo 17671858 a scholar of Old English who dated his ownership as "St. John's College Oxford 1787."

Jakob Ceporinus 14991525 born Jakob Wiesendanger the editor of this Greek Testament was => a Swiss humanist who attended the universities of Cologne and Vienna and acquired knowledge of Hebrew by studying with the German humanist Johannes Reuchlin in Ingolstadt. He worked in Basel as a proofreader for a printing house settled in Zurich and in April of 1525 was appointed as => the first Reader of Greek and Hebrew at Zwingli's school of theology in Zurich. He died unexpectedly in December 1525. The first edition of his Greek New Testament appeared in 1524 from the same printer as this third edition of 1535 and like that first closely follows the Erasmus third edition with a few variants and independent readings. Also as with the 1524 edition the title-page has => four woodcuts after Urs Graf representing the evangelists and that leaf is followed by Oecolampadius' "In sacrarum literarum lectionem . . . exhortatio" pi 27. The work was published at the expense of Johann Schabler called Wattenschnee whose device with motto "Durum pacientia frango" is on the verso of last leaf. The Testament text is in Greek only and each book begins with a woodcut headpiece and a historiated initial with some initials after Dance of Death designs by => Hans Holbein. Reuss lists this among "Editiones Erasmicae." Provenance: 19th-century signature on front fly-leaf of W.C.S. Tole ; most recently in the library of American collector Albert A.

In 1565 Theodore Beza 15191605 also de Bèsze or Bèze Calvin's chief assistant and successor as leader of his reform movement first published his edition of the Greek New Testament with the Vulgate and his own Latin translation. For the edition of 1582 he revised his text based on the discovery of the important Codex Bezae Codex D a manuscript of the Gospels and Acts probably written in the 5th century and the principal witness to the Western textual tradition of the New Testament. Beza personally owned this codex and presented it to Cambridge University in 1581. This is the first folio edition of the Greek New Testament to be printed in England as well as the => first GreekLatin edition of Beza's New Testament to be printed there. It is also considered by the ODCC to be the best edition of Beza's Latin translation of the New Testament. The text is based on Beza's fourth and last edition of 1598 and includes his annotations. Joachim Camerarius's commentary on the New Testament is appended at the end with its own sectional title-page and pagination. Handsomely printed with an => engraved printer's device on the title-page by Wenceslas Hollar and woodcut initials head- and tailpieces this edition has the text in three parallel columns Greek Beza's Latin version and the Vulgate with a wealth of commentary above and below. The title-page exists in three states: the present one is printed in black only and lists the print-shop of Roger Daniel without "Londini venales prostant."

One of the last 16th-century interlinear editions of the Greek New Testament and Vulgate Latin as first presented in Plantin's monumental Royal Antwerp Polyglot Bible of 156972. The text is printed in Greek with the Vulgate in roman type inter-linearly; additionally there are decorative letters and head and tailpieces. When the Vulgate differs from the Greek its text is printed in the margin as a shouldernote and a literal Latin rendering by the great Spanish theologian Benedictus Arias Montanus a.k.a. Benito Arias Montano is printed in italics in the text. The Commelin device appears on the title-page which describes this printing as "Editio postrema multò quàm antehac emendatior." Evidence of Readership: Marginal notes or accents in at least two early hands have been added in ink in two dozenplus places with one page used for scribbling and content ranging from a squiggle to a word to real notes; two Latin words and the publication date in Arabic numerals under the publisher's roman have been inked to the title-page. Provenance: Early calligraphic ownership note of "Dudley" dated 1843 on binder's blank; later ownership signature of E.F. Whitehouse with the shelfmark 354 and an acquisition note including the collectorly report "It was all to bits I had it bound and consider it a great curiosity.

Recent half brown calf and mustard buckram cloth red leather spine label lettered in gilt all edges speckled brown new endpapers; very gently rubbed one short tear at bottom gutter of binder's blank. Light age-toning and waterstaining of various darknesses throughout most of the text with the occasional spot. The title leaf has been backed with a later paper with no loss of content; interior blank only lacking as above three leaves with small interior holes affecting letters two leaves with marginal sections torn away. Readership and provenance evidence as above with some inked notes trimmed or bled onto surrounding leaves. => Read and engaged with by multiple people and all the more intriguing because of it.

1555réf. 39566Basileae: per Ioannem Oporinum colophon: 1555. 8vo 15.9 cm 6.25". 16 341 7 pp. Sole edition of these Greek paraphrased psalms done by Paul Dolscius while he was serving as a rector in Halle. Melanchthon was a great supporter of Dolscius 152689 whose translation work was so proficient that at one point his authorial byline on the Greek translation of the Augsburg Confession was assumed to be merely a pseudonym for the great reformer himself. The text here is simply printed with the Latin preface in roman and the main text in Greek using single columns; a 5-line decorative initial and a 7-line inhabited one showing two kings in profile complete the work. This is now an uncommon edition with searches of Worldcat COPAC USTC and NUC Pre-1956 revealing only three U.S. institutions reporting ownership. Provenance: An inked ownership stamp of notable 19th-century English bibliomaniac Richard Heber 17741833 reading "Bibliotheca Heberiana" appears on the front free endpaper; Thomas Frognall Dibdin added this stamp to select rare books in Heber's collection following the collector's death.

Tes kaines diathekes apanta. 12mo. 2 419 1 pp. First edition of this Greek translation of the Book of Common Prayer. The preface is signed "I.D." i.e. James Duport a popular professor of Greek at the University of Cambridge who had the year before printed a translation of the Psalter which appears here with the BCP as issued under a separate title-page and Ordinal along with the Greek New Testament and Apocrypha the title-page of the New Testament being an insert and the Apocrypha having separate pagination. This is only the second translation of the BCP into Greek following the first by Elias Petley in 1638. There were apparently two settings of this edition produced by printer John Field in the same year under the same title and imprint with priority not established; the present example has line six of the main title-page all in capital letters and the "Alma mater Cantabrigia" device following the last page of the Psalter but while the sun is on the left and the cup on the right of the Psalter title-page device they are reversed on the New Testament title-page apparently indicating that the New Testament is from a variant post-dating the BCP and Psalter. Binding: Contemporary mottled calf Cambridge-style covers framed in double gilt fillets and panelled in triple gilt fillets with gilt-tooled corner fleurons; spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label and gilt-ruled compartments. Provenance: Front free endpaper with early inscription in red pencil: "Gibson's / Queens / Oxon. / 1787." Most recently in the library of American collector Albert A.

An interleaved and heavily annotated copy of the Gospels and Acts of "Beza's third major edition of the Greek New Testament. The text follows that of the second major edition 1582 with only five exceptions" Darlow and Moule. => One should note that the title-page proclaims this "quarta editio" and that this is Estienne's third folio printing of Beza's N.T. Beza's New Testament Greek text is here accompanied by his Latin and the Vulgate i.e. Catholic Latin translations the trio appearing in parallel columns on each page with => extensive notes that often fill as much as one-third to one-half of a page and with parallel references additionally set in the margins. The volume's title-page is printed in red and black and bears Henri Estienne's printer's device; a different finely wrought woodcut headpiece opens each book with each column on those pages bearing a woodcut initial at its head and a few of the books of the N.T. end with woodcut tailpieces. Evidence of readership: An interleaved copy with => the vast majority of the leaves bearing an early 19th-century reader's notes and annotations. The notes cite references published as late as 1809 and it is clear that the natively German-speaking scholar was comfortable in Greek Hebrew Latin and English. Provenance: Ownership signature on title-page of Leon St. Vincent. Later in The Howell Bible Collection Pacific School of Religion properly released; no markings. The paper stock used for the interleaving has the classic ProPatria watermark and that and its countermark match Churchill's 151 which has a starting date of 1799. Darlow & Moule 4650; Adams B1711. On the interleaves' watermarks see: Churchill Watermarks in paper in Holland England France etc. in the XVII and XVIII centuries. 19th-century half vellum with German pastepaper over boards spine with tinted and tooled label text recased and new endpapers; vol. I only of this production without the Epistles and Revelation.

Based on John Mill's much-lauded 1707 edition of the Greek New Testament this is the second issue of Ludolph Küster's revised version originally published in 1710. A scholar from the Westphalia region of Germany Küster 16701716 specialized in paleography and Greek; this printing includes his preface and Prolegomena and extensive commentary in Latin below the main text. Using twelve new manuscripts in his research Küster significantly added to Mill's 16451707 collation. The title-page printed in red and black features an => engraved vignette of the Virgin Mary enthroned above the Earth flanked by an eagle a lion a bull and an angel representing the Four Evangelists and there are => five additional large illustrative engraved vignettes functioning as headpieces in the text. Printed double-column and divided in the middle of each page by a paragraph of citations the text is dotted by a variety of woodcut floriated and historiated initials and factotum Greek capitals. Provenance: Front pastedown with pencilled inscription "C.B.P.B. 1709" and with bookplate of Newton Theological Institution properly deaccessioned noting gift from library of Edward Cushing Mitchell D.D. class of 1853. Darlow & Moule 4735. Contemporary mottled sheep rebacked some time ago; scuffed and worn front joint starting from head and foot extremities rubbed and chipped. Front pastedown with inscription and bookplate as above; two text pages institutionally pressure-stamped. Offsetting to margins of first and last few leaves; waterstaining to inner portions of first 80 and a few final pages touching but not obscuring text on some pages and a small area of the first headpiece. One proud corner folded over several other corners bumped; scattered spots of light staining and ink smears not obscuring sense; occasional small edge nick. One early inked marginal annotation in English and Greek. Very readable and usable. Sumptibus filii J. Friderici Gleditschii unknown books

There are different issues: This a copy of the one with the third word of the Greek title readiing "Diathche" and not "Diathke" and with the printer's device showing the man holding the sun in his left hand. Thus this is Darlow and Moule issue "B." => Thomas Jefferson owned a copy of one of the issues of this edition. Provenance: Manuscript ownership inscription of John Ray dated 1716 on retained fly-leaf; ownership signature of Robert L. Wilson New York 1818 on title-page; gilt supra-libros of Barzillai Slosson dated 1829. Later in the Howell Bible Collection Pacific School of Religion properly released.

Marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. Gilt supra-libros of Barzillai Slosson as above. Unsigned. Barzillai Slosson may have been related to the lawyer of the same name who was active in Kent CT at the end of the 18th century and into the fourth decade of the 19th whose account books are in the Yale Law Library; perhaps the Barzillai who graduated from Columbia College in 1818 and later moved to Geneva NY where he was active and successful in business and civic affairs. Wing rev. ed. B2719. Darlow & Moule; 4702; ESTC R236848; Sowerby Catalogue of the library of Thomas Jefferson 1473. Binding as above lightly rubbed. Pages closely cropped in the 19th-century rebinding and some initial or final letters touched or lost. Very good. Excusum per Joannem Field unknown books

The text was based on the Mill edition of the Greek N.T.; Darlow and Moule notes that while the text "generally reproduces that of Mill . . . Reuss notes seven variations." => An important example of 18th-century fine printing of the Bible. This copy retains its half-title.

They were discovered in 1787 by John Barrett 1753-1821 senior fellow of Trinity College Dublin and have been assigned to the sixth or even to the fifth century. An Appendix contains a collation of Codex Montfortianus a cursive MS. of the fiftheenth or sixteenth century which has historical interest since it was the excuse for Erasmus' admission of the comma Johanneum into his third edition.
