1543réf. 55533Paris: Simon de Colines and Galliot du Pré 1543. Very good. Benedictine" edition of the New Testament in Latin edited through careful comparison of multiple medieval manuscript sources. An important New Testament edition in the Latin history of the Bible for which Benoît collated "most of the then known" medieval manuscripts Schreiber 149 seeking the most accurate readings and correcting transcription errors. Produced in the midst of the foment about translations spurred partly by the Reformation this translation did not seek novelty but rather a refinement of the established tradition. First issued as part of the complete Bible also by Colines in 1541 this is the first independent printing of the translation. Two years after its publication the Council of Trent would affirm the doctrinal preference for Latin editions in the Catholic Church. Octavo 6.5'' x 4.25''. 18th-century full speckled calf raised bands red goatskin spine label gilt-tooled spine compartments. Marbled endpapers all edges stained red two silk ribbon markers.

1886réf. 50292Tokyo: Tokiwaya 1886. Very good. Scarce and exceptional first edition thus a light-hearted illustrated adaptation of the Creation and story of Adam and Eve from the Book of Genesis into Japanese. The story of Bible editions in Japan reflects the country's fraught history with Christianity; after the religion was banned in the early 17th century the portions printed by Catholic missionaries were lost. The ban on Christianity lifted only in the Meiji era first partially in 1873 then enshrined in the Constitution 1889 by means of an article on the freedom of religion. The post-Meiji Restoration translation effort of the Hebrew Bible began in 1882 and was finally completed in 1887. Books were completed and issued in parts with Genesis first issued in 1883. This heavily illustrated and lighthearted version of the two most famous stories from Genesis adapts the text to a well-established literary genre of Meiji Japan: KusazÅshi a forerunner of manga popular illustrated works in which the text weaves around the illustrations that dominate most spreads. Because they were meant for a popular audience the text is often primarily in hiragana or kanji with furigana; here the text is shown in three writing styles: kanji hiragana and romaji with furigana glosses. This presentation suggests how Christian mythology must have appeared to Japanese readers much as say Greek mythology seems to modern American readers of Homer. God is depicted as a mustachioed wise man while the serpent approaches Eve on legs. Most charmingly one spread depicts God spying on Adam and Eve with a pair of binoculars. While listed as the "first part" it is all published with no second volume ever appearing. We find only two copies at the National Diet Library and at Waseda University. 7.75'' x 5.25''. Original printed wrappers. Woodblock printed and illustrated including 16 double-page spreads. Title page matching illustrated cover printed on red metallic-speckled paper. 39 1 pages. Some staining and wear to wrappers with 2.5'' paper repair to rear wrapper verso. Black ink calligraphy to versos of both wrappers. Housed in custom blue cloth chemise. [Tokiwaya] unknown books

1850réf. 17142Philadelphia: Fisher and Brother n.d. ca. 1850 Later edition. First published by Truman Smith and Co. in 1834.

1737réf. 49261Leiden: Jean Luzac 1737. First edition. Two volumes large quarto. 52 544; 2 545-1232 63 indices 1 corrigendapp. Text in two columns with Hebrew text and facing Latin translation interspersed with commentary. Titles in red and black with engraved vignettes. Contemporary speckled calf; gilt-tooled spine with raised bands and morocco lettering pieces; gilt dentelles; edges daubed in red and green. Light scuffing to boards and fading to spines. A very good set with crisp clean text throughout. First edition of this comprehensive commentary to the biblical Book of Job by the Dutch scholar of Semitic languages Albert Schultens 1686-1750 who maintained "that the true nature of the Hebrew language and the meaning of many of its words and idioms are to be found chiefly in the Arabic" Orme. Fifty-five pages of the indices constitute a brief lexicon and provide Latin as well as Arabic equivalents for more than 1000 Hebrew words. Schultens studied theology and eastern languages at Groningen where he received his degree in theology in 1709. After a brief career as a preacher in Wassenaar he was nominated professor of Hebrew and Jewish antiquities at Franeker in 1713. In 1729 he decamped for Leiden were he was first appointed reader in eastern languages and finally full professor in 1732. At this time a chief concern of Calvinist theologians was to liberate Old Testament exegesis from the Jewish Rabbinic as well as Catholic traditions. Schultens' influential and controversial solution was revealed as early as 1706 in his first public thesis Disputatio theologico philologica de utilitate linguae Arabicae in interpretanda S. Scriptura A Theologico-Philosophical Dissertation on the Utility of the Arabic Language for the Interpretation of the Holy Scriptures "a forceful attack" Brugman & Schröder on the Protestant sola scriptura methodology of Biblical exegesis. "With the help of Jacobus Golius' Arabic dictionary he perused with zeal and fervour the Old Testament and wrote prolifically. The lexical superiority of Arabic had led him to a reconsideration of the position of Hebrew: at first he had called Arabic 'the most splendid daughter of mother Hebrew' but in his oration of 1729 he proclaimed Hebrew and Arabic cognate twin sisters. This shocked conservative theologians as an outright profanation of God's Word" Brugman & Schröder. "In 1737 he applied his theories in his bilingual edition of the book of the prophet Job whom he regarded as an Arab. The Hebrew text and the Latin translation are all but totally submerged by the extensive commentary in which Schultens draws abundantly on Arabic texts such as the Hamasa an anthology of early Arabic poetry by the ninth-century poet Abu Tammam" Vrolijk & van Leeuwen. Schultens was not without his critics and by 1824 William Orme notes a turning of the tide: "Different opinions are entertained of the correctness of his views and also of his success in applying them; but it is now generally admitted that he carries his notions of the advantage of Arabic learning to the interpretation of the Scriptures too far." Jean Luzac 1728-1777 was a member of a well-known Huguenot family of printers; he published many works for the University of Leiden including three Hebrew books of Albert Schultens. Isaac van der Mijn is noted as the printer at the colophon of the second volume. Provenance: printed label of the Bibliotheca Seminarii Warmondani at the front endleaf of the first volume.

1863réf. 92359London: Samuel Bagster 1863. Hardcover. Very Good. viii 118p. Original cloth. Titled in gilt on front cover. 16 cm. Modest fading on backstrip and around edges of front cover. Library stamping on front free endpaper indicating that this was owned and discarded by Redemptorist Communities in Ireland. Arabic text with Introduction in English. Ferrette identified on the title page as a missionary of the irish Presbyterian Church at Damascus believed that he had come up with a great typographic method for dealing with the vowel problem in Arabic type. Ferrette's suggested fix did not catch on and his suggested fix is now mostly forgotten. Most copies located by OCLC list W. M. Watts as publisher and are dated 1863 on the title-page. This copy with the same pagination lists Bagster as publisher and is undated. We suspect that Bagster persuaded the publisher or Ferrette to issue some copies with Bagster's name as publisher for sale in Bagster's theological bookstore. We doubt that it is a later or second edition. OCLC locates one copy Huntington with the Bagster imprint. It is dated as 1836 which seems likely to be an error in dating caused by transposing the last two numbers. Samuel Bagster hardcover books

Provenance Contemporary ownership inscriptions "Deme Alesone Sandelandes" repeated on the New Testament title-page and verso of the double-page map in John 20. This Bible's first owner is likely Dame Alison Sandilands d. 1584 Lady Ormiston a member of the prominent Sandilands family of Calder and wife of John Cockburn of Ormiston one of the early supporters of the Scottish Reformation. The Ormiston household stood close to the circle of John Knox: Knox served as tutor to Alison's son Alexander Cockburn while the Protestant martyr George Wishart was sheltered at Ormiston shortly before his arrest in 1546. Alison herself participated in the circulation and preservation of Reformation writings and Henry Balnaves's Confession of Faith was dedicated to her when published in 1584. Later 17th-century family records to verso of The Order of the Yeres include births in 1672 and 1676 the ownership inscription of Mary Hill and a record of the death of her father Charles Hill on 22 October 1691." Note First edition of the Geneva Bible the most important and widely read English Bible for more than a century. Produced by English Protestant exiles who had fled Marian persecution for Geneva it was the first complete English Bible translated directly from the original biblical languages and the first English Bible printed in roman type and with verse divisions. Designed as a portable and readable Bible for everyday devotion and study its title page departed from the elaborate woodcut designs of earlier English Bibles such as the Coverdale Matthew's and Great Bibles instead featuring a modest image of the Israelites trapped at the Red Sea. Hemmed in by the sea mountains and the pursuing Egyptian army the Israelites turn to God for deliverance a scene that invites readers to see a parallel between Israel's bondage and the plight of the persecuted English church in exile awaiting God's deliverance and the opportunity to return home. The Geneva Bible quickly became the Bible of the English Protestant household and retained its popular preeminence until its gradual suppression and displacement following the introduction of the King James Version in 1611. Bound with the first edition of the newly translated metrical Psalter authorized by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland containing the enduring Scottish version of Psalm 23 beginning "The Lord's my shepherd I'll not want."
