Woodcut pictorial title page. 555 leaves 50-line text in two columns initials executed in red to roughly half of text. First leaf of signature a1 misbound at rear of signature. 8vo. This Bible was the first issued with a pictorial title page the third with a title page and the second Bible in octavo format. It also includes the first appearance of the alphabetical table of contents Tabula Alphabetica Historiarum Biblie prepared by the Franciscan Gabriele Bruno. The title page is a classic image of a standing St. Peter keys in hand and a nimbus around his head accompanied by the inscription Tu es Petrus "you are Peter" a reference to Matthew 16:13-19 KJB 16:18-19: "thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church.And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven." Its colophon is also notable. More than a basic production statement it includes an early form of a publisher's blurb. After it discusses the value of the Bible as a "Book of Life" it enumerates the features of this imprint: marginal concordances interpretations of Hebrew names Bruno's table and the editorial oversight by another Franciscan Petrus Angelus de Monte Ulmi. Another feature not mentioned is its lower cost which was made possible by its small format. Girolamo de' Paganini is known only through the three volumes he issued in Venice in the 1490s: the 1492 Latin Bible 1492 its reprint 1497 which does not have a pictorial title page and a quarto edition of Pope Gregory's Pastoral Rule 1492. Copinger 1847-1910 a founder of the Bibliographical Society was a leading bibliographer as well as a notable lawyer antiquary and lay-minister. Among his major works are the Supplement to Hain's Repertorium Bibliographicum 1895-1902 and the Incunabula Biblica Or The First Half Century of the Latin Bible 1892. In a private sale in 1893 Cornelius Vanderbilt II 1843-1899 and Eugene Augustus Hoffman 1829-1902 dean of the General Theological Seminary who had a vast personal fortune purchased it along with the rest of Copinger's outstanding collection of Latin Biblical texts and donated it to the seminary's library.

Small 4to some sections in folio. Based on the 1472 Bible printed by Peter Schoeffer in Mainz which was based on the original Gutenberg text this was one of the earliest Bibles printed in quarto format the second according to Goff. Priority may belong to the Bible issued by Octavianus Scotus dated 31 May 1480; the first was issued in Piacenza in 1475. Considerably less expensive than books produced in Folio format these early quarto Bibles were produced for the general marketplace. Less-expensive portable easy to store and better suited to study they found a ready audience among clergy students and laypeople. Copinger notes: "The type is in an elegant small Gothic and the paper of a very fine silky nature" Incunabula Biblica 46 Cornelius Paine 1809-1890 was a notable English bibliophile.

In most respects this is a fine example of the less-expensive quarto Bibles issued by Venetian printers in the late 1400s for the general marketplace. This copy has an unusual feature. Instead of an iluminated or decorated initial at the beginning of the main text it has a repurposed section of a woodcut depicting the murder of a sainted bishop with mitre and halo by two men in an ecclesiastical setting. The victim is probably Thomas a Becket Archbishop of Canterbury who was assassinated in 1170 or Praetextatus Bishop of Rouen who was assassinated in 586. Both men were assassinated by order of their monarchs in their cathedrals and canonized afterwards which adds an intriguing element to our copy. Was it owned by someone who opposed royal infringement on Church authority The date of this imprint is somewhat vague. The colophon states "Anno dni. Mcccclxxxvij iij. Cal. Martij." The ISTC notes this has been interpreted as 27 February 1487/88 in the BMC and GW and by Sack as 28 February 1487/88 who probably assumed that February 1487 in the Venetian calendar included an extra day on account the leap year of 1488. Copinger 1847-1910 a founder of the Bibliographical Society was a leading bibliographer as well as a notable lawyer antiquary and lay-minister. Among his major works are the Supplement to Hain's Repertorium Bibliographicum 1895-1902 and the Incunabula Biblica Or The First Half Century of the Latin Bible 1892.

Roughly half of its signatures are from his landmark 1475 edition which was the first Bible printed in Venice and the copy text for Jenson's famous 1476 edition. The others are from his 1476 edition. It is likely that ours was one of several two-edition copies Renner rushed to market in order to compete with Jenson a testament to Venice's competitive printing industry in the late 1400s which was discovering the commercial value of Bibles intended for the general marketplace.

Title in red and black text in double columns. 8 479 1; 5 482-899; 5 902-1141pp. Lacks the 4ff preface i.e. the papal bull of Sixtus V beginning "Aeternus ille caelestium terrestriumq. rerum omnium conditr ac moderator Deus ." as often. Folio 13-1/2 x 9-1/2 inches. The Sixtine Bible containing the Vulgate text as edited by Pope Sixtus V intended as the first ecclesiastically authorized text to be used throughout Christendom. "In its text it comes closer to R. Stephanus' Bible of 1538-40 than to the Louvain editions" Darlow & Moule who discuss the textual variations. The association with Aldus II suggested by Renouard and lasting long thereafter is spurious. Pope Sixtus V died soon after the book was printed and was followed by three short-lived popes. The Sixtine Bible had "aroused antagonism among both clergy and laity" and was swiftly condemned; the edition was withdrawn by Pope Clement VIII soon after his elevation to the papal throne in 1592 and many copies were destroyed. Preparations began in 1591 for a new edition of the Vulgate printed in 1592 and known as the Clementine Bible which long remained the standard Vulgate text. As often e.g. the Brooker copy this copy without the preface the Bull of Sixtus declaring the text to be immutable and forbidding any reprint without papal permission.

Extensive annotations throughout in Latin in a contemporary Germanic cursive comprising both interlinear notes and marginal gloss. 1 vols. Folio 12x8-1/2 inches.

A-DⶠEâ´ F-JⶠKâ´ L-Mâ¶. 68 leaves. Extensive annotations throughout in Latin in a contemporary Germanic cursive comprising both interlinear notes and marginal gloss. 1 vols. Folio 12x8-1/2 inches. Edited by Johann Kusthuert this printing of the Epistles of Paul was intended for the student market with the introduction addressed to studiosis sacarum litterarum tyronibus. In addition the colophon reads: Impressum ad altissimi Dei laudem ac studiosorum Sacre Scripture tyronum perfectum in officina libraria prouidi viri Vuolffgangi Stockel ciuis Liptzensis anno Domini 1510 quarto kalendis Septembris. The annotations and marginal gloss are impressive and very similar though in a different hand to the copy described by Rosenthal now at the Beinecke suggesting they are by a student at the same institution: "The present copy comes with a vast manuscript apparatus in Latin covering the entire text from St. Jerome's general preface to the last sentence of the last epistle. The annotation . is uniformly intense throughout. The script is a very small at times microscopic Germanic cursive and there is evidence of careful layout especially in the marginal gloss." Estimating the annotations to be approximately 80000 words Rosenthal describes the interlinear notes as "frequently far more than simole reading aids." He continues: "The marginal gloss includes an argumentum for each chapter and its subdivisions . There are also occasional citations from authorities such as St. Thomas and Ambrose." It is a handsomely printed volume with the title in large red letters above an 11-line subtitle in black.

Pintard 1759-1844 was a prominent New Yorker of Huguenot origin patron of education and one of the earliest and staunchest advocates for the preservation and study of the history of New York and the United States. Pintard began to work towards the establishment of a historical society in the city in early 1804 and he was the leader in the organization of the New-York Historical Society in November 1804. He was also a patron of the old French Huguenot Church of St. Esprit and the General Theological Seminary to whom he donated this volume in 1826. Scarce.

Ff. 8 CCCXXV 1 LXXXVII i.e. 85 5. Manuscript marginal glosses in red chiefly calling out names names in Kings. 1 vols. Folio. The first Protestant Bible in Latin edited by Johan Rüdel Rudelius printed in Cologne by Peter Quentel or Quentell and notable for the wood engraved illustrations by Anton Woensam Anton von Worms particularly those at the head of each of the four gospels. Matthew faces an angle who is touching his stylus; a lion is seated beside Mark; a bull with Luke; and an eagle stands beside John. Quentel was the printer of Tyndale's quarto Cologne English New Testament known from a single surviving fragment in the Grenville Collection where this same illustration to Matthew appears. It is a reasonable inference that each of the four gospels would have carried an illustration. The project which had "'got as far as the letter K' the signature that would have taken the work well into Mark" ODNB was unfinished at the time of Tyndale's flight from Cologne in 1525. Quentel's print shop was raided but sheets of the first gospel translated from the original Greek and printed in English soon began to circulate in England. Tyndale settled in Worms where Schöffer completed an octavo printing of the first complete English New Testament in 1526 a facsimile of the Grenville fragment and its illustration were published in 1871. The blocks for the illustrations evidently survived the raid on the Quentel's shop and are used here at the head of each of the four gospels.

The engraved title reads: Biblia sacra vulgatae editionis ad concilii Tridentini praescriptum emendata et a Sixto V.P.M. recognata et approbata. With the preliminary document the Bull of Sixtus V beginning 'Aeternus ille caelestium terrestriumq. rerum omnium conditr ac moderator Deus .". This is often lacking. An extraordinary copy of the Sixtine Bible containing the Vulgate text as edited by Pope Sixtus V intended as the first ecclesiastically authorized text to be used throughout Christendom. "In its text it comes closer to R. Stephanus' Bible of 1538-40 than to the Louvain editions" Darlow & Moule who discuss the textual variations. This copy includes examples of the printed overslips required to correct hurried printing. The association with Aldus II suggested by Renouard and lasting long thereafter is spurious. Pope Sixtus V died soon after the book was printed and was followed by three short-lived popes. The Sixtine Bible had "aroused antagonism among both clergy and laity" and was swiftly condemned; the edition was withdrawn by Pope Clement VIII soon after his elevation to the papal throne in 1592 and many copies were destroyed. Preparations began in 1591 for a new edition of the Vulgate printed in 1592 and known as the Clementine Bible which long remained the standard Vulgate text. The ordinary issue of this printing measures 13-3/8 inches tall as in the Brooker copy sold 2024; the present copy measures 15-3/4. AN OUTSTANDING LARGE PAPER COPY OF A NOTABLE EDITION.

The third and finest folio edition of Latin Vulgate Bible prepared by scholar/printer Robert Estienne 1503-59.

The illustrations of Noah's ark the Tabernacle of Moses and Temple of Solomon were widely copied. The general title page and the Prophetae are dated 1540; that of the New Testament is dated 1539; and that for the Hebraea Chaldaea Graeca & Latina Nomina . cum Interpretationis and Index is dated 1538.
