In the year 405 A.D. after 23 years working in caves beneath the city of Bethlehem Saint Jerome completed his work translating the Holy Scriptures from Hebrew and Greek into Latin for the first time. His Latin Vulgate became the Bible of the Roman Catholic Church. Over 1200 years later it was finally translated into English and is known as the Douay Rheims Bible. The New Testament was completed at Rheims in 1582 and due to financial constraints the Old Testament would be completed some 27 years later in 1609 at Douay. It would take another 185 years before the first pulpit folio edition would be published. This Dublin Bible of 1794 was the first priting of the complete Vulgate in English to be printed in the large grand pulpit folio format. This was a visible mark of a changing Catholic consciousness in Ireland a new sense of stature headed by Archbishop Richard O'Reilly of Armagh and including seven other bishops parish priests Catholic gentry merchants and even craftsmen such as Patrick Conolly a stucco-plasterer on South Cumberland Street. Though described as the sixth edition this was only the third time the complete Vulgate had been printed in Ireland. The first Irishman to undertake an English translation of the Vulgate was Cornelius Nary 1658-1738 Paris-educated and parish priest of St Michan's in Dublin. His translation of the New Testament was published in 1718. No place of printing is given in the imprint but the press corrector states that the translator was 'at a great distance' when the book was printed and the approbations and printer's signatures make Paris a possibility without ruling out Dublin. Nary's translation was banned by Rome in 1722 for unorthodoxy. The first publishing in Ireland of the complete Vulgate was in 1763-4: the translation of Bishop Richard Challoner 1691-1781 it comprised the second revision of his Old Testament and the fourth revision of his New Testament. No place or printer is mentioned but Pat Lord and Richard Fitzsimons of Dublin took the credit in a less conspicuous source. Apart from a re-issue by Patrick Wogan in 1789 of a Liverpool-printed New Testament there was no further Irish edition until at the behest of John Carpenter Archbishop of Dublin Bernard MacMahon priest of Hardwick Street Chapel who had already published a Missale Romanum with an Irish Proper in 1777 published an extensive revision of Challoner's New Testament in 1783. He went on to revise his New Testament further and to publish it with Challoner's Old Testament just slightly revised in 1791 in quarto for the Archbishop of Dublin John Thomas Troy OP. Three years later in 1794 it was brought out once more in this fine pulpit folio edition. James Reilly hardcover

SAMUEL MEARNE- 20 April 1624 – May 1683 An English Restoration Bookbinder and publisher whose work is considered a high point of pre-industrial bookbinding. He and his sons Charles and Samuel Jr. were referred to by historians as the Queene's Binder. Mearne was born in Reading England and lived all of his professional life in Little Britain in Aldersgate. He passed his apprenticeship in 1646 and set up as a bookseller and publisher. In 1655 he and two others went to the Netherlands where he probably performed a service to Charles II in exile because he was named bookbinder to the king on 20 June 1660. He was also a part owner of the king's printing house with John Bill and Christopher Barker. In 1668 Charles petitioned to have Mearne and others admitted to the Stationers' Company. In the Stationers' Company Mearne would serve as warden and later master. In 1674 he became the stationer in ordinary to Charles and the next year he and his son were made grants for life to their position. The earliest surviving books bound by Mearne come from 1655 while many survive from his time as bookbinder to the king. His workshop produced beautiful gold tooled and onlay bindings for Charles and the royal libraries. For the chapels gifts and presentations of the installation of the Knight of the Garter ceremonies Mearne's shop produced even more lavishly bound books. Professionally Mearne was popular with other publishers for his work at hunting down illegal presses. While he did not perform the binding himself personally after his appointment he oversaw the production and designs of his books. Samuel Mearne Sr. died in 1683 with his son Charles dying in 1686 and Samuel Mearne Jr. taking over the shop and appointments until the Glorious Revolution in 1689.

1679ref. 1679oxford1679 King James Holy Bible 2nd Oxford Edition PRESENTING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION- EXQUISITE GENUINE 345 YEAR OLD KING JAMES BIBLE PRINTED BY OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS AT THE SHELDONIAN THEATRE IN OXFORD. Small quarto 8.5 x 6.5 x 2.75 inches. Herbert #745. INCLUDING 1. THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER. 2. THE OLD TESTAMENT WITH THE APOCRYPHA. 3. THE NEW TESTAMENT. 4. THE WHOLE BOOK OF PSALMS COLLECTED INTO ENGLISH METER. Pages are in very good condition throughout with some scattered foxing/browinging in places. This is perhaps the earliest edition of the English Bible which has dates added in the margins based upon the famous work Annales Veteris et Novi Testamenti 1650-4 see inset above by James Ussher 1581- 1656 Archbishop of Armagh. Ussher dated the creation as year 1 counting time forward systematically using Biblical chronology and genealogy. He dated Job 2400 the Nativity 4000 and the exile of John to Patmos Island in year 4093. Biblical Historians generally agree that this took place in 90 A.D. It has been about 1900 years since this event and when added to the 4093 years that led up to this event= approx. 6020 years have passed to today showing the true age of the EARTH. In 1680 Oxford University Press printed their first folio edition of the King James Bible which included an index to accompany these marginal dates. Oxford University Press OUP is the publishing house of the University of Oxford. It is the largest university press in the world. Its first book was printed in 1478 while over a century later the Press was officially granted the legal right to print books by decree in 1586. In 1633 King Charles the First granted a charter to the University permitting them to print all manner of books including the English Bible. This charter would not be acted upon for another 42 years until 1675 when they printed the King James Bible for the very first time. University of Oxford Press is governed by a group of 15 academics the Delegates of the Press appointed by the vice- chancellor of the University of Oxford. The Delegates of the Press are led by the Secretary to the Delegates who serves as OUP's chief executive and as its major representative on other university bodies. Oxford University Press has had a similar governance structure since the 17th century. The press is located on Walton Street Oxford opposite Somerville College in the inner suburb of Jericho. For the last 400 years OUP has focused primarily on the publication of pedagogical texts. It continues this tradition today by publishing academic journals dictionaries English language resources bibliographies books on Indology music classics literature and history as well as Bibles and atlases.
