1763réf. 2548Oxonii Oxford: E Typographeo Clarendoniano 1763. 8vo pp. iv 676. Near-contemporary tree calf spine elaborately gilt in compartments red morocco label marbled endpapers edges yellow. Some light toning and spotting. Expertly rebacked by Bernard Middleton with old backstrip laid down hinges relined. An attractive copy. In 1758 Baskerville proposed the casting of a new set of Greek types to the Oxford University Press and they ordered 2000 copies of this octavo New Testament plus 500 in quarto to be printed with the resulting type - which ended up being its only use. Negative critical reception may have contributed to its abandonment but Baskerville’s Greek face has recently been reassessed by Gerry Leonidas as an important predecessor of more modern types if perhaps not quite as elegant as that used by the Foulis press that had fallen afoul of an arbitrary typographic orthodoxy.

Woodcut Estienne devices to both titles. 16mo. Produced in his twin capacities as a skilled printer and a trained classical scholar the Biblical output of Robert Estienne Latinized as Stephanus "had perhaps more influence than that of any other single man in the sixteenth century" Wordsworth in Darlow & Moule. He is known not only for the editions of the Bible that placed him on the Louvain faculty's index of prohibited books but as a publisher of important dictionaries Roman classics and contemporary educational writings. After his flight to Geneva around 1550 he also became an important publisher of the works of John Calvin. The 1546 & 1549 editions of the Greek New Testament are referred to as the "O mirificam" editions after the opening of the Latin preface. They are especially desirable as specimens of the typography of Claude Garamond who was commissioned by the king to design the Greek type used in Estienne's editions of the New Testament. "Estienne felt strongly the propriety of consecrating as it were the Royal Greek types in this way. He evidently felt also some stirrings of ambition as an editor; might not the resources of the King's Library now at his disposal enable him to produce a better text than that of Erasmus especially as he could use also the Complutensian text" Armstrong. Estienne's editorial ambitions culminated in the folio edition of 1550 which included a full critical apparatus but still reveal themselves in the texts of the O mirificam editions. Like the first edition the text of the 1549 edition largely agrees with Erasmus but it indeed incorporates the Complutensian text and also makes a number of independent readings with minor changes from the 1546 edition Darlow & Moule. An important and beautifully printed work. USTC 150379; Darlowe & Moule 4620; Renouard 73 1; Schreiber 102; Adams B1660.

1962réf. 52438Graz: Akademische Druck-u.Verlagsanstalt 1962. Hardcover. Very good. Two volumes large 8vo: pp. 16 966 6; 2 920 42. Publisher's light blue cloth. A nearly fine clean set with some slight erosion/scuffing at the covers of the second volume. Modern photo-reprint of this celebrated work of early modern biblical scholarship. First published in 1752 it was until the twentieth century regarded as "the most elaborate and valuable of all the critical editions of the New Testament" Orme. Edited by the scholar Johann Jakob Wetstein 1693-1754 a scion of the Amsterdam printing family who produced Gerhard von Maestricht's New Testament of 1711 the original edition includes the editio princeps of two pseudepigraphic works ascribed to Saint Clement of Rome which survive in Syriac. At his native city of Basel in 1713 Wetstein defended a thesis on the various readings of the New Testament. "After collating MSS. in various libraries he at length obtained in 1733 a professorship in the Remonstrants' college at Amsterdam in succession to Le Clerc. In 1730 the Wettstein press published his Prolegomena anonymously and in 1735 he edited for the same firm a revision of G. v. Maestricht's Testament. At length in 1751-2 he produced the critical edition at which he had been labouring for many years. Perhaps in deference to the opinions of his friends Wettstein did not print in his edition the text of Codex A as he seems at first to have intended or a recension of his own but merely reproduced the Elzevir text with very few variations. Immediately below however he indicated the changes which he considered absolutely necessary from which it is easy to construct 'Wettsteins's text.' Nearly all these proposed changed -- which according to Reuss number 159 -- had appeared in previous editions and are generally accepted do-day. . Below this matter stands the critical apparatus the most elaborate which had yet been published giving innumerable variants and citing as authorities for and against these a vast body of witnesses -- MSS. versions early fathers and printed editions. Wettstein introduced the practice of indicating uncial MSS. by roman letters and cursive MSS. by arabic numerals. In the revised and enlarged Prolegomena preceding the text which give some account of his labours and controversies Wettstein displays a marked antipathy to all the earliest MSS. which he suspected of having been corrupted by the Latin versions. The Animadversiones at the end of vol. 2 are more temperate and possess higher value. A distinctive feature of the book is the commentary printed at the foot of the page. This forms a curious treasury of notes illustrating both the matter and the language of the inspired writers by copious extracts from all kinds of authors -- classical patristic and rabbinic".

1962réf. 52438Graz: Akademische Druck-u.Verlagsanstalt 1962. Hardcover. Very good. Two volumes large 8vo: pp. 16 966 6; 2 920 42. Publisher's light blue cloth. A nearly fine clean set with some slight erosion/scuffing at the covers of the second volume. Modern photo-reprint of this celebrated work of early modern biblical scholarship. First published in 1752 it was until the twentieth century regarded as "the most elaborate and valuable of all the critical editions of the New Testament" Orme. Edited by the scholar Johann Jakob Wetstein 1693-1754 a scion of the Amsterdam printing family who produced Gerhard von Maestricht's New Testament of 1711 the original edition includes the editio princeps of two pseudepigraphic works ascribed to Saint Clement of Rome which survive in Syriac. At his native city of Basel in 1713 Wetstein defended a thesis on the various readings of the New Testament. "After collating MSS. in various libraries he at length obtained in 1733 a professorship in the Remonstrants' college at Amsterdam in succession to Le Clerc. In 1730 the Wettstein press published his Prolegomena anonymously and in 1735 he edited for the same firm a revision of G. v. Maestricht's Testament. At length in 1751-2 he produced the critical edition at which he had been labouring for many years. Perhaps in deference to the opinions of his friends Wettstein did not print in his edition the text of Codex A as he seems at first to have intended or a recension of his own but merely reproduced the Elzevir text with very few variations. Immediately below however he indicated the changes which he considered absolutely necessary from which it is easy to construct 'Wettsteins's text.' Nearly all these proposed changed -- which according to Reuss number 159 -- had appeared in previous editions and are generally accepted do-day. . Below this matter stands the critical apparatus the most elaborate which had yet been published giving innumerable variants and citing as authorities for and against these a vast body of witnesses -- MSS. versions early fathers and printed editions. Wettstein introduced the practice of indicating uncial MSS. by roman letters and cursive MSS. by arabic numerals. In the revised and enlarged Prolegomena preceding the text which give some account of his labours and controversies Wettstein displays a marked antipathy to all the earliest MSS. which he suspected of having been corrupted by the Latin versions. The Animadversiones at the end of vol. 2 are more temperate and possess higher value. A distinctive feature of the book is the commentary printed at the foot of the page. This forms a curious treasury of notes illustrating both the matter and the language of the inspired writers by copious extracts from all kinds of authors -- classical patristic and rabbinic".

With the expressed goal of printing Greek texts from manuscripts in the royal library at Fontainebleau François I established the post of royal printer in Greek in 1539 appointed Robert Estienne I 1503-59 to the position in 1542 and commissioned the renowned Claude Garamond to cut a new Greek font for this project. To design the type the King called on his own celebrated calligrapher Angelo Vergecio who produced in collaboration with Garamond three different sizes of what came to be called the Royal Types or "grecs du roi." According to Schreiber "These cursive Greek types are universally acknowledged as the finest ever cut." In 1548 and 1549 Robert Estienne issued the press' first Greek Testament known as the "O mirificam" edition for the opening of the dedication to the king in 16mo or "pocket" format using the smaller font of Garamond's "grecs du roi." In 1550 Robert a Protestant moved to Geneva while his son Robert II 1533-70 a Catholic remained in Paris and took over as the royal printer in Greek. Our 1568 Testament--the only one issued by the son--is a reprinting of the "O mirificam" edition but expanded with the critical apparatus from the 1550 folio edition issued by the father. Schreiber notes that our edition is interesting from a typographical point of view as it contains an even more minute version of the already small grecs du roi type for the Table of Chapters. The exceptionally pretty volumes are done in the style of royal binder Claude Picques fl. 1539-78 and employ a decorative roll very similar to one that appears on the spine of the vellum bindings Picques did for "L'Entrée de Charles IX à Paris" 1572. Our volumes once graced the library of Constantinople collector Georgios Arvanitidis 1876-1953 whose library included a number of Estienne Greek editions.
