KRAAZ, GERHART, Illustrator (BINDINGS - ROLAND MEUTER). BIBLE IN ENGLISHABAA

CANTICUM CANTICORUM. THE SONG OF SONGS

1962Best.-Nr. ST15876Frankfurt am Main: Ars Libri Verlag Gotthard de Beauclair 1962. No. 93 of 250 COPIES IN ENGLISH SIGNED by the illustrator and designer. 494 x 320 mm. 19 3/8 x 12 5/8". 40 pp. 2 leaves.Designed by Gotthard de Beauclair. FINE RED CRUSHED MOROCCO BY ROLAND MEUTER signed "R. Meuter Ascona" on rear turn-in upper cover with gilt lettering underlined with four gilt rules smooth spine with gilt titling leather hinges. In the original linen clamshell box backed with matching morocco. With 30 lithographs in the text by Gerhart Kraaz and one additional lithograph in a portfolio. ◆Slight discoloration from a bookmark in the lower gutter of colophon opening otherwise in perfect condition. Handsomely bound and beautifully designed and printed this very large folio first publication from the Ars Libri Press later called Ars Librorum exemplifies the kind of high quality work for which leading German publisher and book designer Gotthard de Beauclair was known. Beauclair 1907-92 began his career at Insel Verlag where he rose to art director and according to the Oxford Companion to the Book "turned inexpensive Insel books into collectors' items with excellent typography." He also founded three different publishing houses where he produced special limited editions that made full use of his excellent design and typographical skills. The present item is one such work recognized by the Association of German Book Artists as one of the most beautiful books of 1962. Gerhart Kraaz 1909-71 studied painting and worked as a graphic designer before becoming a serious book illustrator. The present title is considered his first major work in the realm of bibliophilic editions. His illustrations in charcoal are sensuous and shadowy capturing the romance and allure of the most beguiling Old Testament book. This edition in English appeared the same year as the German language edition but is much rarer--apparently the publisher cancelled a number of copies and very few ever made it to market. The binding characterized by an elegant simplicity is appropriate for the subject matter and for the stately large-format volume. Our binder Roland Meuter maintains an atelier in Ascona Switzerland where he continues to produce imaginatively designed bindings that attract considerable attention.

Bible, English 1787ABAA

SCOTTISH CHIPPENDALE BINDINGS 1794. The Holy Bible containing the Old and New Testaments: 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. - WITH: The Psalms of David in Metre. Allowed by the Kirk of Scotland

1787Best.-Nr. 271Edinburgh: Assigns of Alexander Kincaid 1787. Very good. Two works in two volumes. Large Octavo 211 x 130 mm. Collation: BIBLE: A-4A8 complete. PSALMS: A-E8 complete. Contemporary Scottish bindings: red morocco elaborately tooled in gilt to a "Chippendale" motif smooth spines gilt; marbled endpapers a.e.g. in vol. 1 the front joint expertly repaired and tape removed from inner hinges. Preserved in a protective cloth case. INNOVATIVE AND HIGHLY UNUSUAL SCOTTISH CHIPPENDALE ROCOCO BINDINGS COMBINING CHINOISERIE AND NEOCLASSICAL ELEMENTS EXHIBITING THE INDEPENDENCE OF SCOTTISH WORK AT THIS TIME. The present example is a striking hybrid of late 18th-century decorative art in Britain the likes of which we have not encountered hitherto. Here "oriental" birds and peacocks are juxtaposed with patriotic depictions of Britannia uncharacteristically surmounted by a fleur-de-lis bold anchors columns sunbursts dripping garlands flowers sheaves of wheat and urns. Presented in the Chippendale style the present binder who is as yet unnamed introduces rococo ornaments while enclosing all of the above with an unmistakably neoclassical greek-key roll. EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY ROCOCO BINDINGS OF THIS QUALITY ARE RARE PARTICULARLY THOSE EXECUTED IN SCOTLAND. Rococo book arts in Scotland have been almost completely unexplored on account of the paltry number of examples with which we are able to study. Robert Adam's designs for the bindings of his "Ruins of Spalatro" 1764 is a bold statement of the neoclassical for he was justly celebrated. But we now know that Adam was not exclusively "Grecian." David Pullins' heroic archival research in Sir John Soane's Museum has shown that Adam received three previously unexamined commissions for a seemingly antithetical kind of decoration which he calls "neoclassical chinoiserie" specifically Adam's drawings for an unrealized chinoiserie looking-glass dated 1769 for Edwin Lascelles 1st Earl of Harewood. SOURCE: "Robert Adam's Neoclassical Chinoiserie" in: West 86th: A Journal of Decorative Arts Design History and Material Culture online. We would argue that the present bindings exhibit such a blend of Chippendale chinoiserie rococo and neoclassical. For a general note on English "Chippendale" and "Chinoiserie" bindings see G.D. Hobson "English Bindings of J.R. Abbey" p. 126. ¶ Our bindings may be linked to four others -- all greatly inferior -- which share the large "eagle" tool in common as noted by Mirjam Foot: 1.

[Bible, New Testament Persian, 1895]. Bruce, Robert (translator)ABAA

NEW TESTAMENT IN MODERN PERSIAN - BRUCE TRANSLATION. Ahd-i Jadid

1895Best.-Nr. 3891London: Printed in Leipzig for The British and Foreign Bible Society 1895. First Edition. Fair. 8vo. 421 pp. Original green cloth embossed in black and blind gilt lettering in Persian on front cover some foxing and age toning minor water-staining on the edges and endpapers endpapers with old annotations in Ottoman inside front cover bookseller's stamp on rear endleaf lower hinge cracked; binding stained worn and shaken. A rough-looking but complete copy priced accordingly. Preserved in a fitted cloth protective case. FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST TRANSLATION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT FROM THE GREEK INTO MODERN PERSIAN: THE ROBERT BRUCE TRANSLATION "THE VERSION BY WHICH ALL LATER RENDITIONS ARE JUDGED." Published by the British and Foreign Bible Society the text builds upon the 1845/6 translation of the New Testament by Mirza Sayyed Ali Khan / Henry Martyn which was published with the Old Testament in a single volume likewise by the British and Foreign Bible Society. This was the first complete Christian Bible to be published in Persian. However: "After some years it was recognized that changes in the Persian language required a revision of the 1845 Bible. With the help of others Robert Bruce a missionary and representative of the British and Foreign Bible Society in Iran spent 20 years on this project. The revised New Testament was published in 1882 and further revisions of the whole Bible was published by the British and Foreign Bible Society in Leipzig in 1895. The so-called 'Bruce translation' is still the standard Bible translation in Persian and it is the version by which all later renditions are judged." Encyclopedia Iranica Persian Translations of the Bible online. As stated Bruce's translation of the New Testament first appeared in 1882 but it was deemed necessary to revise it further. Portions of Bruce's translation into modern Persian appeared in 1893 Pentateuch and 1894 Joshua to II Chronicles. Finally in 1895 Bruce's further revised translation of the New Testament the present edition was issued appearing independently from a one-volume edition of the complete Bible. Darlow and Moule 7358 state: "The Old Testament practically represents a new translation and the New Testament is a fresh revision." Robert Bruce 1833-1915 was an Irish born CMS Missionary active in Persia from 1869-1893. He was a Lecturer in Persian at University College London 1895-6 vicar at Durham 1896 and Rector of Little Dean Gloucester 1903. His Bible translation work was carried out with assistance of others including for example Karapet Ohaness from Julfa Persia.

[Macklin Bible]ABAA

BIBLE The Old and New Testament embellished with Engravings from Pictures and Designs by the Most Eminent English Artists

1800Best.-Nr. 9693London: Thomas Bensley for Thomas Macklin 1800. 7 volume set 48 cm Contemporary calf with decorative gilt stamped borders to boards with raised and gilt bands to backstrips. All edges gilt. Marbled endsheets and pastedowns. Some minor wear to corners. Some foxing to the plates. A few small dampstains. Some wear to backstrips and boards. The Macklin Bible is the largest Bible printed on a letterpress. Published serially between 1791 and 1800 in London this project was of one several ambitious projects that commissioned paintings of literary subjects exhibited them at their premises and sold engravings and/or editions of the relevant text including the engravings after the paintings by subscription. These 'literary galleries' sought to be both commercial printselling projects for the proprietors and to foster British history painting aligning with the ambitions of the Royal Academy to encourage a native school of painting in this genre. The foremost literary gallery was Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery which operated between 1789 and 1805. In addition to its 70 full-page plates the Bible includes head and tailpieces for each biblical book - 113 in total. All but two of the vignettes were designed by Philippe-Jacques de Loutherbourg who also painted 16 pictures for the full-page plates. The full-page plates and headpiece and tailpiece vignettes were published by Macklin and the text was printed for Macklin by Thomas Bensley. The type was cut by Joseph Jackson and Vincent Figgins Jackon's apprentice. The paper was made by Whatman. The instructions to the binder recommended binding the set in six volumes but this set like many others was bound in seven. Darlow & Moule 982. ESTC T123175. Herbert 1442.
