Senere synes den overgået til andre i slægten bosat i U.S.A. (Olaf Albertsen, Axel Albertsen, Stanley Albertsen, Sidney Albertsen). Folio. (39 x 27 cm.). Contemporary brown full calf over heavy wooden boards with oblique edges. Sloghtly raised bands to spine. Hand-stitched capital bands. A small notch to the leather of bottom compartment of spine.

1633réf. 60241Kiøbenhaffn, (Melchior Martzan og Salomon Sartor), (1632-) 1633. Folio (binding: 37 x 25 cm.). Bound in a spledid, contemporary full calf binding over wooden boards. Rich, elaborate gilding to both boards and spine. The gilding is vague, especially on the front board, but the tooling is very sharp, and the binding overall is magnificent. With four beautiful, ornamented brass edges to each board and two large ornamented brass clasps. All edges are gilt and beautifully blindtooled. Wear to capitals, where the cords are loosening a bit, and with a bit of loss of leather. A bit of wear to hinges, at the cords, which are showing. But overall the binding is in splendid condition. Also internally extremely well preserved. The title-page has a tiny restored hole to lower right corner, and the first four leaves might have been inserted. They are slightly smaller at the outer margin than the other leaves. But that might also be due to restoration, as the binding has not been tampered with at any point and is completely unrestored. The text is unusually nice, clean and fresh, by far the nicest copy we have ever come across. Pasted-down front end-paper with the ownership signature and lacquered coat-of-arms seal of Severin Svanenhielm (Severin Seehusen (1664-1726) ) as well as the ownership signatures of Søren Schiøtz (1796-1863) (with names of members of his family), C. Th. Zahle and Erik Zahle. With the book plate of William Davignon (d. 1924). The brass corners carry the initials HL and are depicted in Johannes Rudbeck's Svenska Bokband I (fig. 26, p.53). The binding there is dated 1622, whereas our binding is from 1633 or right after. The brass fittings were a commercial merchandise for sale in Germany and probably also in both Sweden and Denmark. Engraved title-page as well as the engraved portrait of Christian IV, all by the royal engraver Simon the Pas. Without the half-title, which merely contains the printed words ""BIBLIA / Paa Danske"", which is almost never present. (21 - not counting the engraved title-page and the portrait), 353 (i.e. 354 due to the erroneous double pagination 353), 226, 159 ff.

A magnificent copy of the scarce first edition of the last i.e. the third of the Danish folio-bibles known as "Christian IV's Bible" being a slightly revised edition of the Bible of 1589. Christian IV is the most famous Danish king ever to have lived and the Christian IV bible is extremely sought-after. An unusually fresh and complete apart from the always lacking half-title copy of this splendid bible printed by the first royal printer Melchior Martzan and Salomon Sartor part 2. The numerous woodcut illustrations are the same that were used for the Frederik II Bibel from 1589. The four engraved leaves - the portrait and the three title-pages - are by Simon de Pas.Bibl. Dan.I9 - Thesaurus II 378. - Birkelund 41. - Darlow and Moule 3160. Provenance: Svanenhielm was a family of Danish and Norwegian nobility. Morten Hansen Seehuusen 1629-1694 was a merchant from Bredstedt in Schleswig-Holstein who re-located to Stavanger Norway. His son Severin Seehusen 1664-1726 was an official in Bergen as well as in Stavanger and Northern Norway. He owned among other properties Damsgård Manor outside Bergen Svanøy in Sunnfjord and Arnegård in Stavanger. In 1720 Severin Seehausen was ennobled under the name Svanenhielm. Søren Daniel Schiøtz 1796-1863 was a Norwegian bailiff and judge who was also very much engaged in religious matters and came to play an important role in the history of theology in Norway. He was one of the founders of the Norwegian Mission Society and the Norwegian Israeli Mission. He translated several important upbuilding pieces from German among them a comprehensive bible history. Carl Theodor Zahle 1866 – 1946 was a highly important Danish lawyer and politician. He was prime minister of Denmark from 1909 to 1910 and again from 1913 to 1920. In 1895 he was elected member of the lower chamber of the Danish parliament for the Liberal Party. A campaigner for peace in 1905 he co-founded the Social Liberal Party Det Radikale Venstre. He stayed on as a member of Parliament for Det Radikale Venstre until 1928 when he became a member of the upper chamber of Parliament Landstinget. In 1929 he became Minister of Justice a post which he held until 1935. Zahle was instrumental in starting negotiations for a new Danish–Icelandic Act of Union in 1917 which resulted in Iceland being recognized as a sovereign nation in a personal union with the king of Denmark the following year. Erik Zahle 1898-1969 was a famous Danish art historian author and museum director. hardcover

The magnificent first printing of the second Danish-Norwegian Bible in folio. This the second Danish Bible in folio is also the first to be printed by a Dane. The scarce and famous "Frederik II-Bible" constitutes the magnum opus of the famed book printer Mads Vingaard "and the most extensive work of printing undertaken in Denmark during the sixteenth century. The book is profusely illustrated with woodcuts copied from a german Bible issued by Sigmund Feyerabend in Frankfurt a. M. 1560. The original woodcuts were made by the artist and craftsman Virgil Solis. Wide woodcut borders together with pictures using themes from the Scriptures surround the title pages and the illustrations. On the reverse of the first title page many copies have pasted in a portrait of Frederich II engraved by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius. However this portrait may also be found on a separate leaf." Thesaurus I.Lauritz Nielsen 405. - Thesaurus I 129. - Birkelund 34. hardcover
1612réf. R28London: Robert Baker 1612. 4to approx. 7.5" x 5.5". A scarce copy of the first separately issued quarto New Testament of the King James Version. A very early printing closely conforming to the first edition He Bible. Description: Title page 1612 with woodcut border featuring the four gospel symbols and the figures of fides and humilitas with the royal arms above. Text in single column black letter with headings and marginal references in Roman type. Concludes with dated colophon 1612. First chapter floriated initials head- and tailpieces.

Rubbed with bumped corners. Condition: Text is generally clean with sporadic marginal spotting; final leaf lightly soiled; title page with short marginal tear mounted on a stub with small loss to inner margin; four leaves with lower marginal loss not impacting text; headlines cropped on a handful of leaves; overall a bright copy. Provenance: "M W Stoddard August 1870" to front endpaper; "Thomas Bonn was born in the year 1694" to verso of title page. Note: Arguably the most important book ever published in English and an opportunity to own a first edition at the fraction of the price of a complete He Bible. Macaulay said of it "If everything else in our language should perish the King James Bible would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power" PMM 114.

Very scarce early edition of the Dutch States Bible as published by the Amsterdam publisher's "company" of Joannes van Someren Abraham Wolfgang Michiel de Groot and Hendrik and Dirk Boom.

Very rare late-17th-century Antwerp edition of the New Testament edited by Henricus van den Leemputte 1588-1657 in a magnificent 18th-century mosaic binding. The binding is made by or in the style of the French Parisian binders Le Monnier. "The delicate construction finesse of tooling and delineation and the fantasy of these bindings render them veritable jewels." see The History of bookbinding 525-1950 A.D. no. 456.Van den Leemputte was a highly educated cleric from a noble family in the Southern Netherlands. He held high offices within the diocese bishopric of 's Hertogenbosch. Aside from the present version of the New Testament first published in 1622 he wrote several treatises on the Holy Sacraments published 1624 and edited two works one manual for explaining the Holy Scripture and one defence of the Catholic church against the Reformed church.From the library of Carlo de Poortere 1917-2002 a director of the family tapestry business and a Belgian bibliophile with a large collection of 17th- and 18th-century book bindings and illustrated books from the 16th-20th centuries. It had previous been part of the collection of English Baptist minister and book collector Andrew Gifford 1700-1784. The "of the Museum" below his name in the engraved bookplate seems to refer to his position as assistant keeper of books and manuscript at the British Museum from 1757 until his death. Curiously he bequeathed his collection of books manuscripts pictures and other curiosities not to the British Museum but to the Bristol Baptist College. In the 1970s the Trustees of this college decided to sell all copies of the Gifford collection to pay for renovations to the chapel.With the gold-tooled red morocco bookplate of Carlo de Poortere on the verso of the blank fly leaf and a near contemporary engraved paper bookplate on the verso of the title-page possibly of Andrew Gifford 1700-1784.

Some scuffs to boards intermittent toning and spotting final leaf in Vol.2 remargined at bottom generally a very handsome set. This edition's sobriquet comes from the misprint "the parable of the vinegar" in Luke XX in place of the "parable of the vineyards." While a contemporary lambasted Baskett for this and other typographical errors in the text calling it a "Baskett-ful of errors" Oxford historian of printing Harry Carter states that "only Baskerville's Bible is its equal among English Bibles for beauty of type impression and paper" The History of the Oxford University Press I:171. Accuracy aside the most special aspect of the book's beauty resides in the sixty large and attractively-engraved head- and tailpieces featuring biblical scenes. Perhaps not until the monumental Macklin Bible of 1800-1816 does one see decoration to rival Baskett's edition. John Baskett purchased a royal patent to print Bibles from the executors of Thomas Newcomb and Henry Hills and his name began appearing with theirs on Bibles from 1710. Baskett was jealous of his privilege and won a suit against Scottish printer James Watson who had dared to sell his Bibles in England. He did not win a similar suit against the University of Cambridge.

Early signature "James Lindsay" on title page crossed out and another early but later signature "Laur. Colquhoun" at head of title page. Engraved armorial bookplate of "A. C./ Clathick" and a small gilt armorial crest at head of spine. Wing 2nd ed. B2759A ESTC r23375 The first printing of the Old Testament in Irish is usually known as 'Bedell's Bible'. William Bedell when consecrated Bishop of Kilmore in 1629 "found a deplorable state of things in his diocese. He observed with much regret that the English had all along neglected the Irish as a nation not only conquered but undisciplinable and that the clergy had scarce considered them as part of their charge but had left them wholly in the hands of their own priests without taking any other care of them but the making them pay their tithes". Disgusted by this un-Christian attitude Bedell interested himself in the Irish culture adopted simple Irish dress and totally eschewed the opulent life-style normal for seventeenth century bishops opposed corruption and tyranny where he found it sought the company of and accepted the hospitality of his catholic Irish neighbours and avoided that of the rich and not only learned the Irish language himself but insisted on its use by his Protestant diocesan clergy. His enthusiasm and sympathy for the Irish earned him their trust affection and respect; he became for them 'optimus anglorum' the best of the English and on his death during the bitter 1641-2 war he was paid the unprecedented honour of being given a military funeral by the local Irish chieftains.His most enduring achievement is the translation of Bible or more precisely the Old Testament into the Irish language. Bedell saw an Irish Bible as an essential element in bringing the Word of God to the people indeed the making available of the scriptures in the vernacular was a key and characteristic element of the Protestant project throughout Europe. He secured the services of competent persons Murtagh King and Dennis Sheridan to translate the Bible and he himself revised the whole comparing it with the Hebrew Greek and Latin so as to correct the errors of the English. He had got to the stage of making preparations for its printing in his own house but the war and his death in 1642 prevented that and for years his manuscript version of it passed through many hands until the famous Robert Boyle scientist philosopher and theologian heard of it later in the century. Boyle born into a wealthy Co. Cork family had been taught Irish in his childhood both at home and at Eton. Boyle like Bedell was passionate about making the Scriptures available in vernacular languages. In 1680 he had a new Irish type manufactured by Joseph Moxon to enable the reprinting in 1681 of the New Testament in Irish first printed almost a century earlier and he resolved to print Bedell's manuscript also. When he obtained it it was in such "a confused heap pitifully defaced and broken" that it had to be reworked and parts of it retranslated. This task of re-editing the manuscript was undertaken by Narcissus Marsh Provost of Trinity College Dublin and a man who shared many of Bedell's attitudes. Marsh engaged as his collaborators Dr. Andrew Sall and Paul Higgins both good Irish scholars and both former Catholic priests. Marsh himself learned Irish to facilitate his task but his main editorial work was done on a retranslation of Bedell's work back into English that he had made for the purpose. When their work was complete Boyle who had initially offered to pay a quarter of the cost paid the whole bill and the book was printed by Everingham using the new Moxon Irish type. "The first sheet of Genesis was printed off in April and the Psalms were being printed in March 1685. The remainder of the sheets with the exception of the Apoctyphia which Boyle declined to print were run off before the end of 1685 which is the Imprint date of the Old Testament. . An intended preface seems not to have materialized" Maddison. It is sometimes stated that 500 copies were printed but to our knowledge no documentary evidence for this exists. Boyle had indeed contracted to print 500 of the New Testament of 1681 and the printer printed off at least another 180 so it may be supposed that the number of Old Testaments printed would have been similar. When Boyle in 1702 discovered that Irish was also the language of large parts of Scotland "he still had some copies of the Old Testament in Irish since distribution in Ireland had not succeeded so well as expected" Maddison. He subsequently sent the circa 80 remaining copies to Scotland together with the circa 150 remaining New Testaments. It seems very likely given its early Scottish provenance that the present copy is one of those 80 copies sent to Scotland. Lawrence Colquhoun was the 1st Earl of Killermont ca.1682-1770. The armorial bookplate is that of his descendant Archibald Campbell Colquhoun c1755-1820 of Clathick and Killermont son of Agnes Colquhoun heiress of Killermont. He was Lord Advocate Sheriff of Perthshire and M.P. for Dumbartonshire. He adopted the additional name of Colquhoun on succeeding his mother at Killermont in 1804.Vide: R. E. W.

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.

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.
