An early edition of the King James Bible which was first issued by Robert Barker in 1611. As Darlow & Moule note "many of these Bibles were issued in a mixed state. It is practically impossible to distinguish between all the various editions" which were issued under many different combinations of the names of Robert Barker Bonham Norton and John Bill due to disputes over the royal warrant.

Others more correctly style it the 'second folio edition 1613 11' inasmuch as it deserves to be reckoned a distinct edition. The general title is usually dated 1613 though the NT title bears the date 1611" Herbert. Commonly known as the "Great She Bible" for the more correct reading "she went into the citie" in Ruth III. 15 and also for the remarkable error in Matthew XXVI. 36 leaf where "Judas" appears for "Jesus." Sometimes a correction slip is pasted over the mistake but in the present copy it is corrected in an early hand. "The King James Bible or the Authorized Version as it is now commonly but not strictly accurately known was the outcome of the conference summoned at Hampton Court by the King in January 1604 in an attempt to settle the quarrels in the Church of England arising from the Puritan zeal of some of its members. It was the leader of the Puritan party John Reynolds the President of Corpus Christi College Oxford who first suggested the idea of a new translation.It has been described as 'the only literary masterpiece ever to have been produced by a committee' and was the work of nearly fifty translators organized in six groups.Being based on a wider range of classical and oriental scholarship than its predecessors the Authorized Version was a more learned text.No new English translation was produced until the Revised Version of 1881 and the influence of the Authorized Version may best be described in the words of G.M. Trevelyan. 'For every Englishman who had read Sidney or Spenser or had seen Shakespeare acted at the Glove there were hundreds who had read or heard the Bible with close attention as the words of God. The effect of the continual domestic study of the book upon the national character imagination and intelligence for nearly three centuries to come was greater than that of any literary movement in our annals or any religious movement since the coming of St Augustine'" Printing and the Mind of Man 114 describing the 1611 first edition. "The translators were directed to take the rendering of the Bishops' Bible as their basis and were advised also to consult the following versions: Tyndale's Matthew's Coverdale's Whitchurch's i.e. the Great Bible and the Geneva" Herbert 309 describing the 1611 first edition. John Speed was granted a patent in 1610 for ten years to issue and insert his "Genealogies" and double-page general map engraved by Elstrack in every edition of this Bible. Darlow & Moule 246.

"The two Thomas Bibles of 1791 were without doubt far in advance of any other publications of the same kind that had appeared in America in point of typography excellence of paper binding and general execution" Wright. Dubbed "the Baskerville of America" by Benjamin Franklin Isaiah Thomas issued a folio and a quarto Bible almost simultaneously. Published immediately after the ratification of the Bill of Rights the folio edition arguably his magnum opus opens with a note from Thomas situating it as an important accompaniment to this national development: "The civil authority hath set an example of moderation and candor to all Christians by securing equal privileges to all; and it must be their ardent and united wish independently of foreign aid to be supplied with copies of the sacred Scriptures the foundation of their Religion - a religion which furnishes motives to the faithful performance of every patriotic civil and social duty." In preparing the work Thomas compared the language of "not less than eight" significant English Bibles most but not all of which were printings of the King James translation and then had every page of the present edition examined by "the Clergymen of Worcester and . other capable persons." In keeping with his patriotism all the plates are by American engravers an expensive undertaking: the majority by Joseph Seymour with others by John Norman Samuel Hill and Amos Doolittle. It is unusual to find complete copies with all fifty plates. The plate list often lacking is present in this copy. The work was issued either in one volume or in two volumes as here the latter including an additional general title page for the second volume bound in as a cancel. A celebrated American Bible from one of the young country's most important printers.

It is notable that the all of the music in the present manuscript is drawn from repertoire significantly older than the manuscript's date of 1792 in some cases over 100 years earlier performance of music of the past being a relatively novel concept at the time. The Academy of Ancient Music was "founded as the Academy of Vocal Music in 1726 to revive the glories of 16th- and 17th-century sacred music and madrigals. Again though it was the music itself rather than profit that provided the inspiration the founders a mix of leading professionals and aristocratic enthusiasts; and again the society was formalized and admitted larger audiences as the century progressed - although these changes brought their own problems with an increasing partiality for later Baroque music including Handel's oratorios and a gradual decline in missionary zeal for the older repertory." Simon McVeigh in Oxford Music Online "Lady Cornewall" was most likely Catherine Cornewall 1752-1835 wife of Sir George Amyand Cornewall 1748-1819 a portrait of whom by Sir Joshua Reynolds 1723-1792 is held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. The manuscript index is possibly in her hand. "Rather different in character was the collection made by the Cornewall family of Moccas Court Herefordshire which has almost entirely vanished. Fortunately a detailed and most interesting manuscript catalogue dated 1796 and now owned by Albi Rosenthal has survived. This was predominantly a vocal collection amounting to about 2000 items with some Italian bias but besides Alessandro Scarlatti and Jomelli it extended to Gluck. A special section of the catalogue dated 1795 contained music belonging to a Miss Cornewall who also owned R.C.M. MSS. 2061-4." A. Hyatt King: Some British Collectors of Music p. 17. unknown books

John Barrett ca. 1674-ca. 1745 was an English composer and organist pupil of John Blow. "Like many of his contemporaries such as Jeremiah Clarke John Eccles and Daniel Purcell Barrett composed mainly for the theatre and his many songs mostly of the double-barrelled art song variety are both tuneful and attractive." Christopher Powell revised by H. Diack Johnstone in Grove Music Online John Blow 1649-1708 was an English composer organist and teacher. "By his mid-20s he had become the foremost musician in England and in later years he was the elder statesman of the Restoration school whose chief luminary was Henry Purcell." Bruce Wood in Grove Music Online John Eccles ca. 1668-1735 was an English composer. "Eccles's greatest talent is revealed in his many songs. Remarkable for their beautifully contoured melodies and impeccable prosody they quickly capture the mood and subtleties of the poetry and are eminently singable. His large works are notable for their dramatic pacing and their carefully planned tonal architecture. In the latter respect he surpassed even Purcell and was far in advance of his day. Eccles brought the Restoration tradition to its close. After Purcell's death in 1695 he was undoubtedly the greatest of the Restoration theatre composers." Stoddard Lincoln in Grove Music Online John Ernest Galliard ca. 1687-1749 German composer and oboist "certainly played a significant role in London's musical life in the first half of the 18th century." Roger Fiske revised by Richard G. King in Grove Music Online George Frideric Handel 1685-1759 English composer of German birth was "one of the greatest composers of his age." Anthony Hicks in Grove Music Online Richard Leveridge 1670-1758 English bass and composer was "a leading singer on the London stage and a popular composer of songs." Olive Baldwin revised by Thelma Wilson in Grove Music Online. Giuseppe Maria Orlandini 1676-1760 was an Italian composer. "The large number and wide spread of performances of his operas confirm the opinions of Burney La Borde Martini and Quadrio that Orlandini was highly celebrated as a composer of dramatic music. He was best known for his comic intermezzos in which genre his importance almost certainly outweighs that of Pergolesi. Indeed Orlandini's Bacocco e Serpilla under various titles and with added music by various composers appears to have been the most frequently performed piece of musical drama in the entire 18th century." John Walter Hill and Francesco Giuntini in Grove Music Online Johann Christoph Pepusch 1667-1752 a German-born composer and theorist active in England is best known for his arrangement of music for The Beggar's Opera to John Gay's libretto; he composed works in all genres including vocal music. Daniel Purcell ca. 1664-1717 brother or cousin of Henry Purcell was an English composer and organist. "Although he was a victim of invidious comparison with Henry Daniel was a talented composer whose style while perhaps too ornate is never dull or incompetent." Mark Humphreys revised by Robert Thompson in Grove Music Online Henry Purcell 1659-1695 composer and organist "was one of the most important 17th century composers and one of the greatest of all English composers." Peter Holman and Robert Thompson in Grove Music Online John Weldon 1676-1736 an English organist and composer "of considerable talent" was a pupil of Henry Purcell. Margaret Laurie revised by Stephen Bullamore in Grove Music Online. unknown books

The Twenty-Four Books of the Holy Scriptures.

Hebrew "For it shall not be forgotten out of the mouth of his seed." Dent. xxxi 21. Philadelphia: Isaac Leeser 1853. First edition of the first complete translation of the Old Testament by a Jewish translator into English building upon Leeser's 1845 translation of the five books of the Pentateuch translation in 1845-1846. Folio 10 3/8 x 8 3/8 inches; 275 x 212 mm. Original full brown morocco. Boards ruled and elaborately stamped in gilt. Spine stamped and lettered in gilt. All edges marbled. Marbled endpapers. Binding with some restoration along joints and edges. A bit of foxing mainly to the preliminaries. Some occasional light dampstaining. Overall a very good copy. "Having published a five-volume Pentateuch-cum-haftarot lections from the Prophets translation in 1845-1846 as well as a complete vocalized and accentuated Hebrew Bible in 1848 the first such edition published in the U.S. he proceeded from April 1852 to September 1853 to extend his translation efforts to the entire Hebrew Bible. The result was his Twenty-Four Books of the Holy Scriptures the first translation of all of Tanakh into English by a Jew complete with short explanatory notes. Leeser explained in the preface to his magnum opus that he undertook the project in order to provide Anglophone Jewry with a vernacular version of the Bible "which has not been made by the authority of churches in which they can have no confidence" pp. iii-iv. The book achieved wide popularity among English-speaking Jews and even some Gentiles especially in America and went through multiple editions." Sotheby's "The translation of the Bible was Leeser's great literary achievement and represented many years of patient labor and devotion to a task which he considered sacred. Leeser was not fully equipped for this work for he was no specialist in Hebrew philology nor a master if Jewish learning in general and he was quite conscious of his shortcomings but he was inspired. He says in his preface: 'I thought in all due humility that I might safely go to task confidently relying upon that superior aid which is never withheld from the inquirer after truth.' He made good use of the various German translations by Jews of the collective commentary known as the Biur vol. III sec. 81 and of other Jewish exegetic works. As a result his translation though based in style upon the King James version can be considered an independent work for the changes he produced are numerous and great. His prime concern was to supply the traditional interpretation when necessary and the retention of the Jewish spirit at times even at the expense of beauty of style. The translation went through numerous editions and until the new Jewish Publication Society version was issued in 1917 it was the only source from which many Jews not conversant with Hebrew derived their knowledge of the Bible in accordance with Jewish tradition" Waxman History of Jewish Literature 1090.
