1744réf. 5955Londini London: Typis J. Brindley 1744. 13 vols 12mo. Title-pages engraved ruled in red throughout. Contemporary red morocco by Brindley’s workshop boards bordered with gilt rules and gilt corner-pieces spines divided by raised bands gilt black morocco labels other compartments tooled centrally in gilt with ‘Golden fleece’ tool marbled endpapers a different pattern in each volume. A little toning in places first gathering of Caesar vol. 2 loose. Bindings rubbed spines dulled some spine ends worn or defective a number of labels lost or chipped several joints cracked but none detached some creasing or cracking to a few spines. Armorial bookplate of Cosmo Gordon Duke of Gordon and more modern Gordon Castle library shelf-labels to pastedowns early shelfmark numbering in ink to head of title-pages. An unusual surviving example of a substantial portion of Brindley’s Latin classics in Brindley’s original trade bindings. This is the first thirteen volumes in the series which was intended to rival the Elzevirs for small format and fine typography and which ultimately reached 24 volumes. Many of them - and all the ones here - were edited by Usher Gahagan d.1749 an Irish scholar of some talent but either poor morals or poor choice of friends; he was arrested with a compatriot in 1748/9 for a plan to file coins and hanged a month later. The series may have gone on longer in his absence had Brindley himself not died in 1759; the last publication in it was a 1760 reissue of the Tacitus of 1754 with Brindley’s successor’s name added to the imprint. Brindley was bookseller and binder to Frederick Prince of Wales entitling him to use the ‘Feathers’ engraving on the title-pages of these volumes. As a binder Brindley also specialised in royal work and used a distinctive dolphin tool in a number of bindings but the ‘Golden fleece’ present on the spines here is another tool regularly used by Brindley especially for copies of his little Latin classics. These were available ready-bound in his shop on New Bond Street and special small shelves to hold them remained in the premises into the 20th century. The elegant variation in endpapers on a set otherwise exactly matchingly bound is an attractive touch. This set represents the complete series as of the end of 1745. A Quintus Curtius followed in 1746 but there was then a pause until after Gahagan’s death with the next volume being the Catullus of 1749. They were probably originally purchased by Cosmo George Gordon 3rd Duke of Gordon 1720-1752 who entered the House of Lords in 1748 and may therefore have been too occupied elsewhere to complete the ongoing series. The full list present is: Horace 1744 ESTC T46227; Virgil 1744 ESTC T139210; Cornelius Nepos 1744 ESTC T83013; Juvenal and Persius 1744 ESTC T123550; Terence 1744 ESTC T137486 - the rarer variant; Julius Caesar 1744 2 vols.

Title page soiled old remargining tissue repairs on verso; some marginal worming and soiling generally clean with generous margins. Stamps of Cambridge Public Library in ink or in blind on four leaves. First Protestant Bible printed in Latin. Title-page with large woodcut vignette of arms of Cologne lion and gryphon rampant with and three crowns; numerous illustrations by Anton Woensam and ornamental initials throughout. Ff. 8 CCCXXV 1 LXXXVII i.e. 85 5. 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. A notable edition in the history of the printing of the Bible. Adams 1007; not in Darlow & Moule but see note to 6107; VD16 B2589.OCLC: 22847218 Petrus Quentel excudebat unknown
