Ingeborg-Psalter

1985Best.-Nr. 1907Graz: Akademische Druck- u. Verlagsanstalt 1985. Hardcover. Fine. Fine condition two volumes in slipcase. Complete color facsimile edition of the 394 pages 197 folios in original size 304 x 204 mm. The manuscript contains 51 full page miniatures with rich gold ornaments and numerous splendid initial letters. The binding is an all leather binding with all pages hand cut according to the original. The commentary volume has a detailed scholarly commentary. Limited and numbered edition limited to 500 copies with each volume numbered by hand this is volume 194. The codex dates from about 1200 Northern France. Undeniably the greatest painting to employ ridged drapery is in the Psalter Chantilly Musee Conde Ms. 1695; ills. 190-193 made for Queen Ingeborg of France. The standard of the manuscripts illumination is such as can only be described by epithets of superlatives. Its full page miniatures are by two illuminators one working in an older tradition than the other but throughout there is a stylistic development which ignores this division and is presumably due to the common enterprise. The earlier miniatures by the older master have flatter Byzantinesque folds akin to those in Salzburg illumination but these soon sharpen into ridges and troughs and the newer technique dominates the work of the younger master being developed to its furthest extent in his miniature of Pentecost. In all the Ingeborg miniatures faces are particularly plastic and rounded but always with a certain pathos or strain in their expressions; they never exhibit the calm observable in the Westminster Psalter. Only the younger master however manages to give a convincing plasticity to covered bodies. As might be expected of a book of this importance much discussion has raged about the date and provenance of the Ingeborg Psalter. The most recent definitive suggestion is circa 1195 in north-eastern France possibly in the diocese of Noyon; but the debate continues. Akademische Druck- u. Verlagsanstalt hardcover

Selichoth shel K"A Kislev.

Best.-Nr. 117084Schottland Gdansk district 1822. . 8vo; Hebrew manuscript on vellum in square Ashkenazi script; modern marbled half-calf spine with raised bands and blind-tooled ornaments; one half-page colour illustration; 10 ll pp. A unique Selichoth manuscript on vellum 'Belonging to the heroes of the Chevra Kadisha on the holy community of Schottland'. A rare relic from a 19th-century Jewish community in northern Poland. During the time when Jews were banned from settling in the city of Danzig Gdansk they lived in the small towns of Schottland Weinberg and Langfur which together formed the 'Shul' community an abbreviation of these towns' names in Hebrew. Two important figures served as Rabbis of this small community: Rabbi Meir Posner author of 'Beit Meir' a phenomenal Torah scholar who was in contact with Rabbi Akiva Eiger and the Chatam Sofer as well as Rabbi Elchanan Ashkenazi author of 'Sidrei Taharah' a student of Rabbi Ya'akov Popresh and Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Charif. The fasting day of K"A Kislev for which the Selichoth were written is not marked by the Ashkenazi Jewish communities of our times and very little is known about it. The little information in existence relates to the city of Prague where the Jews used to observe this day of fasting to commemorate the many Jews who were tragically killed in 1744 by the Austrians presumably around the time when Empress Maria Theresa signed an edict ordering the expulsion of all Jews. This might also explain the only colour illustration in the manuscript which depicts the tomb of the Maharal of Prague. It is presumed that this fasting day was also observed by other Jewish communities in Poland. Schottland (Gdansk district), 1822. hardcover

The Religion and Policie of the More or Barbarian. The aduentres of Sir Anthony Sherley and diuers other English Gentlemen in those Countries. With other Novelties.

1609Best.-Nr. 14228London; Printed by Thomas Purfoot for Clement Knight 1609. 1609. Quarto sig. A-K4 L1 lacks the final blank. Later spotted full calf blind double fillets to boards titles gilt to spine all edges speckled red. An early English account of Morocco by an anonymous pamphleteer sometimes called 'Robert Cottingham'. This volume gives an account of the privateer and adventurer Sir Anthony Sherley's 1565-1636 ambassadorships from Rudolf II Holy Roman Emperor to Mowlai Abd-el-Aziz son of Ahmed II Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. These accounts were made famous in Samuel Purchas's influential 'Purchas his Pilgrimmes' 1614 which is a rather more robust volume. Sherley was a remarkably well travelled Elizabethan gentleman beginning his career as a captain in Robert Dudley's forces before becoming a knight of Henri IV and then launching military expeditions to West Africa Sao Tome and Jamaica. Sherley journeyed to Persia where he became the representative of the Shah in Moscow Prague and Rome. Effectively exiled from his own country Sherley went to Prague where he became emissary of the Holy Roman Emperor to Morocco. He would later became an admiral of the Spanish fleet in the Levant. He died in 1635 penniless and obscure. This pamphlet presents Sherley's experiences in Morocco as well as accounts from other travellers like him as it would have appeared to the English reading public for the first time. Slight nicks to boards joints beginning to crack. First and final leaves a little soiled and small contemporary ink numeral to title-page. Modest paper repair to margin of C4 and occasional light spots of soiling to margins only. A very good copy. Rare in commerce we can locate one copy only at auction in the last 70 years.

The Holy Bible Containing the Old Testament and the New: Newly Translated out of the Original Tongues: and with the former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised. By His Majesty's Special Command. Appointed to be Read in Churches The Vinegar Bible

1617Best.-Nr. 659L6Oxford: John Baskett 1716-1717. First edition. Fine Binding. Very Good. 21" by 14". None. A beautiful set of the famed 'Vinegar Bible' published by John Baskett of Oxford. Dibdin notes this Bible as 'the most magnificent' of the Oxford Bibles. A handsome edition with this set bound in a binding with George III's monogram to the boards. The first edition of the 'Vinegar Bible' which is known as such due to the erroneous 'The parable of the vinegar' instead of 'vineyard' above Luke XX the verso of G6 to the New Testament. This variant has the 1717 imprint to the Old Testament and the 1716 imprint to the New Testament. Printed by John Baskett who was the King's printer. Baskett held a reputation for purchasing competing Bible printing business and absorbing them into his own. He wished to produce a high quality Bible in a folio edition that would become a presentation piece used in churches and aristocrats. This Bible was therefore produced. A scarce edition of The Bible which holds important stature in the history of print and in the bibliography of The Bible. Particularly scarce in this contemporary Royal binding which is possibly a presentation binding produced for this work. This edition has the red-ruling throughout both volumes. The 'Vinegar Bible' is noted for its beautiful head and tail pieces throughout. Harry Carter in 'The History of the Oxford University Press' notes that 'only Baskerville's Bible is its equal among English Bibles for beauty of type impression and paper' Carter p.171. This copy has been skillfully rebacked to both volumes with the original spines laid down and boards preserved. With a Sotheran stamp to the verso of front endpaper. With the vignette title page depicting the Clarendon Building to the Old Testament. To the New Testament there is a vignette title page depicting the Annunciation. Sumptuously illustrated throughout with head and tail pieces in addition to engraved ornamental letters. With the signatures: 1 a-b2 c1 2 A-4P6 4Q3; 1 A-X6 Y4 Collated without additional engraved title page. Blank 4Q4 to the Old Testament and Apocrypha is not present. Gathering is bound after c1 rather than preceding a-b2 as it is found in the ESTC signatures. Another nickname for this edition was 'A Baskett-ful of Errors' due to the numerous misprints Herbert 942; Darlow & Moule 735. A very smart copy of this work in an important contemporary binding. In uniform contemporary black morocco bindings with the monogram of George III to the front boards. 'GR' Monogram to the spines. Rebacked with the original spines laid down and boards preserved. Externally generally smart. Light marks to boards and minor fading to the gilt. Internally both volumes are firmly bound. Small loss to the dedication leaf from chipping with repairs to the dedication leaf at the gutter. Minor chips to first few leaves to the Old Testament at the extremities. Tiny worm holes to 1 of Old Testament. Occasional tape repairs to the margins of leaves to both volumes noticeably to the bottom margin of E1 to the outer margin of E5 and to 2L3 which affects the occasional word to the left hand column. R6 has slight creasing and some minor closed tears to the gutter not affecting text. Small loss to the bottom margin of 2B2. Small loss to the extremities of 4C2. 'New Testament' also has repairs to the bottom margin several leaves including the title page C5 & 6 N2 and T2. To H3 there is a repair to a closed tear at the bottom of the page not affecting the text. Tape repairs to the text of K4 to the New Testament obscuring the occasional word. Pages are unusually bright. The majority of leaves to this work are clean however 4F2 and 4F5 to the Old Testament are spotted. Very Good John Baskett unknown
