Paraphrase in Homeric language and verse and its translation in Latin prose on opposite pages with a prefatory treatise on the ancient versions of the Old Testament. Translated by Jacob Duport. "Immediately after the Restoration he was made one of the king's chaplains and reinstated in the possession of his prebend at Lincoln but not of the archdeaconry of Stow as he preferred holding his fellowship and vice-mastership in Trinity College. Widdrington was now dispossessed of the Greek professorship and Duport restored to it but he resigned the chair the same year in favour of his pupil Isaac Barrow. On 19 July 1660 he was by royal mandate with many other learned divines created D.D. at Cambridge Kennett p. 251. He was installed dean of Peterborough 27 July 1664. In 1668 on the death of Dr. John Howorth master of Magdalene College Duport was recalled to Cambridge and appointed by James earl of Suffolk possessor of Audley End to fill the vacant headship. In the following year Duport was elected vice-chancellor of the university. Bishop Monk says that Duport 'appears to have been the main instrument by which literature was upheld in this university Cambridge during the civil dissensions in the seventeenth century and though seldom named and little known at present he enjoyed an almost transcendent reputation for a great length of time among his contemporaries as well as in the generation which immediately succeeded" DNB.

1930rif. 33601np 1930. Oblong 16mo original illustrated wrappers 8pp. Near Fine. A common theme for these Bibles: respectable married man tells a young woman he wants to "buy a little of your kiester if we could get it over before my wife comes back from the store." The activities progress in graphic detail. Tijuana Bibles "were produced by a shadowy criminal underground in the 1930s. Very little hard information is available about how the Bibles were created where they were manufactured and how they were distributed. One certain fact confirmed by numerous anecdotes is that these comic books were for many young men their first peek into the forbidden world of erotic intimacy" Adelman. They were crudely printed and illustrated porn tract-comic books. The skimpy stories featured contemporary movie sports folk political and cartoon characters in absurdly hyperbolic sexual relations. Why they're called Tijuana Bibles is a matter of speculation; 'Tijuana' was typically associated with iniquity and as an outlet for behavior considered impermissible elsewhere. Properly considered the ancestor of America's underground comics Tijuana Bibles declined in popularity in the 1960's as mainstream publications like Playboy would satisfy readers' prurient interests.

Original dark greenish-blue straight-grain morocco gilt floral ruled borders raised bands with three angels in three compartments a.e.g. The binding is not signed but it is similar to other English bindings of the period possibly Staggemeier & Welcher. The spine foot says "Genesis to Numbers" and "Reeves's - Edition" in gilt. Early armorial bookplate of W. H. Battie-Wrightson Cusworth Yorkshire. Extensively annotated in ink holograph 3 1/2 pages on blank endleaves being the record of Thomas de Grey's family births marriages and deaths; he is the second son of Lord Walsingham "a clergyman married Elizabeth Fourth Daughter of the Hon.ble. Brownlow North Bishop of Winchester on the 12th of August 1802 by Special Licence at the Private Chapel at Winchester House Chelsea. . ." Very good. WITH A DOUBLE FORE-EDGE PAINTING of Philadelphia in 1790 and New York in 1820. The scene of Philadelphia shows churches buildings a harbor and shipping scene; on the reverse edge showing "New York" has various harbor buildings. Not signed; likely painted just prior to Leamington's owning this volume thus ca. 1953. The artist is not known. Often an American bookstore would import a volume acquired from an artist or a British bookstore. / Written in pencil "Dr. Carl J. Weber says no American scenes on double fore-edge paintings . . . Bot bought of Leamington Book Shop July '53. says this is the 3rd he has brought over." While a lot of time has passed one should never say "never" with regard to topics painted. The fact is that more and more paintings were painted and as that occurred the market was in America so scenes of American city views most being not so recognizable maybe became painted more and more as well. It largely depended on when the artists were painting and where they derived their commissions. Some artists were working independently of a bookstore or a binder and those painters also had their own patterns of what they painted frequently. Samuel Stevens not the artist here! was exactly that type of artist. / PROVENANCE: W. H. Battie-Wrightson Cusworth Yorkshire. William Wrightson 1752-1827 of Cusworth Hall Doncaster Yorkshire was a former member of Parliament 1784-1790; his son of the same name lived 1789-1879; it is unclear which person's bookplate the name refers. Brownlow North 1741-1820 former owner family member was appointed Bishop of Winchester in 1781. DNB. More recently a pencil note within the book indicates it was purchased from Leamington Book Shop July 1953. A bookseller's clipped catalogue description appears to be that of Leamington's Price: £18 10s. ca. 1953. A later pencil note 12/98 indicates this book was priced in December 1998 at $1600.

1813rif. 18016Somerset PA: Friedrich Goeb 1813. First Edition. Original blind ruled calf over oak boards. Good; joints & hinges cracked; front oak board has a vertical split; front cover nearly loose; some peripheral marginal water stains; straps missing. Large 4to 4 527 66 2 169 3 pp. Accompanied by three 18th century printed hymns and a large inserted color Fraktur bookplate signed by the scribe. A unique copy of this bible from the Yaukey Yocky family.The Goeb printing of Luther's bible in Somerset is historic in itself; especially so given the generous format Goeb chose for his work. What makes this copy unique is the laid-in copies of three printed hymns; two from "Sisters" of the Ephrata Cloister but all originating at Snow Hill. Catherine Redelsberger and Barbara Schneeberger for whose family farm the Snow Hill sanctuary was named were among the earliest American women converts to Beissel's Seventh-Day Baptists. Andreas Schneeberger is represented here by a hymn printed at the Cloister on laid paper clearly watermarked CB in a "fluttering heart" Gravell #198. It is most likely that the Redelsberger hymn was also printed at the Cloister but there is no watermark. The three broadside printings are: 1 Der Schw. Catharina Redelsberger Glaubens-Lied. Unlocated. 2 Geistliches Trauer-Lied gestellt von Schw. Barbara Schneeberger. Unlocated 3 Wurde abgesungen den 31ten August 1793: Bey B. A. S. auf dem jährlichen Fest an der Antitum. Printed at the Cloister. Attributed to Andreas Schneeberger. Shipton & Mooney #26144 with the entry taken from Seidensticker and no location provided. There apparently is one copy at HSP. These ephemeral publications were sold through western Pennsylvania by itinerant peddlers or after meetings see Yoder pp. 42 - 44 barely noting any from the 18th century. Few survive. The three offered here must have been acquired by the Yaukey family 20 years before the Goeb bible was printed and retained for generations within the family. They are spotted and toned and irregularly trimmed. The Fraktur bookplate in the bible is large 285 x 230 mm. It is a geometric lettered design in four colors green yellow red brown that is signed and dated: Samuel Jackson Sept. 14 1827. In all an outstanding survival. S & S #27883; Gravell #198.

1819rif. 10001St Petersburg: Russian B. S. 1819. First Edition. contemp. full calf. A good copy in a somewhat worn binding; joints cracked. 12mo. According to Darlow-Moule this bible was prepared under the sanction of the Armenian Patriarch for the Osmanli speaking Armenians in SE Europe and Asia Minor. The translation was carried out by Khojentzi who was in the employ of the Russian government as a translator. It is printed in paragraphs in Armenian characters. There is one leaf of errata before the text 826 pp. This is the first complete tanslation of the New Testament into Osmanli. These early bibles for Turkey appear in three different character sets Greek Arabic or Armenian according to the populations they were printed for; the early editions differ substantially in style and vocabulary according to the nationality of the reader.
