Mayor of Liverpool from 1778-1779 dated 1778. Pole was Collector of Stamp Duties and Agent of the Sun Fire Office a long biographical note appears in pencil on first blank leaf -- subsequently in the library of noted Liverpool bibliophile and philanthropist Rev. Samuel Ashton Thompson Yates 1843-1903 with his armorial bookplate. The names of early Liverpool bookbinders are few but we have located two of them in Gore's 1766 "Liverpool Directory" namely Peter Wright on Bixteth Street and Richard Wright on George Street. The work of the present binder was not within the scope of Ramsden's "Bookbinders of the United Kingdom Outside London 1780-1840. It would appear that the Wrights continued working in Liverpool for some time. According to Ramsden the name Richard Wright appears in the 1777 and 1781 directories and Peter Wright in the 1790 directory. In the 1793 records of burials at Our Lady and St Nicholas Liverpool a certain William Wright is listed as a bookbinder on Sweeting Street. ¶ This edition of the Psalms is scarce: ESTC T206585 lists only 5 copies worldwide none in America.

Bible. OT. Psalms. Greek. 1555. Dolscius. O. T.ABAA

transliterated from Greek Davidou prophetper Ioannem Oporinumou kai basileos melos elegeiois perieilemmenon hypo Paulou tou Dolskiou Plaeos then in Latin Psalterium prophetae et regis Dauidis uersibus elegiacis redditum a Pavlo Dolscio Plauensi.

1555rif. 39566Basileae: per Ioannem Oporinum colophon: 1555. 8vo 15.9 cm 6.25". 16 341 7 pp. Sole edition of these Greek paraphrased psalms done by Paul Dolscius while he was serving as a rector in Halle. Melanchthon was a great supporter of Dolscius 152689 whose translation work was so proficient that at one point his authorial byline on the Greek translation of the Augsburg Confession was assumed to be merely a pseudonym for the great reformer himself. The text here is simply printed with the Latin preface in roman and the main text in Greek using single columns; a 5-line decorative initial and a 7-line inhabited one showing two kings in profile complete the work. This is now an uncommon edition with searches of Worldcat COPAC USTC and NUC Pre-1956 revealing only three U.S. institutions reporting ownership. Provenance: An inked ownership stamp of notable 19th-century English bibliomaniac Richard Heber 17741833 reading "Bibliotheca Heberiana" appears on the front free endpaper; Thomas Frognall Dibdin added this stamp to select rare books in Heber's collection following the collector's death. Most recently in the library of American collector Albert A. Howard small booklabel "AHA" at rear. Bibliotheca Palatina F5048/F5049; VD16 B3122; USTC 626665. Not in Adams; not in Darlow & Moule. On Dolscius see: Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie online. 19th-century half calf and paste papercovered boards spine with gilt rolls and green leather gilt title-label all edges stained blue; rubbed slight loss of leather on front joint outside and corners a few small spots and leather repairs isolated glue action to endpapers. Light age-toning with occasional slivers of marginal staining possibly thanks to the blue edge stain one interior tear touching letters and two marginal spots. Provenance indicia as above small round paper shelflabel on spine a few bibliographical notes pencilled on endpapers. => A skillfully produced work with a pleasing provenance. per Ioannem Oporinum hardcover books

Third printing following the first of 1803 of the first Mennonite hymnal printed in the United States. The Psalms were translated and paraphrased under the supervision of the Franconia Mennonite Conference for the use of eastern Pennsylvania Mennonites. Music is present in the first portion though the bulk of the volume is of words. => It's an engaging fact that psalms are given in multiple versions; there are four of the 23d. Arndt and Eck cite Bender who says "This first American Mennonite Hymnbook is => not to be confused with one of similar title printed by Saur at Germantown in 1753 called erroneously by Seidensticker and Flory a Mennonite hymnbook." Each portion of this item has a separate title-page with the second section's title-page reading Sammlung altre und neuer Geistreichen Gesänge. The woodcut frontispiece depicts David playing his harp. Arndt & Eck 2419; Shoemaker 2239. Contemporary calf rebacked some time ago spine with gilt-stamped leather title and publication labels; rubbed with leather open across joints but volume still quite firm; original clasps now lacking. Front fly-leaves with early inked and pencilled inscriptions. Final leaf pp. 21/22 of the 22-page appendix of brief hymn texts not of the main portion of the work lacking.

Some upper corners bumped. Pages browned with waterstaining to lower inner portions of about a third of the volume. Gedruckt bey Michael Billmeyer hardcover books
