Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. BIBLE. LATIN. (GUTENBERG BIBLE: BOOK OF HAGGAI). [Mainz: Johann Gutenberg and Johann Fust, 1455]. Royal folio (388 × 287 mm). Featuring the complete Book of Haggai and the opening column of the Book of Zechariah. Double columns, 42 lines. Handsomely rubricated in red and blue with a large chapter initial in blue, section title in red, chapter number with alternate red-blue elements, red capital strokes throughout the text and headlines of alternate red-blue lombards. It is our privilege to offer a very special object, a complete book from the Gutenberg Bible - one of the most valuable books in the world. Printed between 1450-55, the Gutenberg Bible was the first substantial European book printed with moveable type. This book derives from an incomplete copy that traces to Prince Karl Theodor von Pfalz-Sulzbach and the Court Library of Mannheim - subsequently held at the Royal Library of Munich - thence to Robert Curzon, 1810-1870, 14th Baron Zouche (from 1870) - Mary Cecil Curzon Frankland, 1877-1965, 17th Baroness Zouche (from 1917), sold via Sotheby s, 9 November 1920, lot 70 Frank Sabin Gabriel Wells, who divided the text into individual leaves with some complete Bible books, presented as Noble Fragments in 1921 - with the book at hand being donated to an institution that same year. After a century in institutional hands, this rare work has been deaccessioned and is now offered to the public. It is the only complete book from the Gutenberg Bible on the world market. Custom leather book box housing a black morocco binding gilt titled on upper cover (Stikeman), including A. Edward Newton s accompanying essay, A Noble Fragment, 1921.

Folio (284 x 390 mm). Vol. 2, leaf q2: Micah, verses 4:7 to 7:18. 2 columns, 42 lines, Gothic type. Rubricated initials in red and blue; headlines and chapter numbers in alternating red and blue, capitals accented in red, section title in red and blue. Bound in full black morocco as one of Gabriel Wells's "Noble Fragments" (New York: Gabriel Wells, 1921). A leaf from the first book printed from movable type in the western world, featuring Micah's famous prophecy of the coming Messiah: "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth." (5:2-3). - The Gutenberg Bible, also known as the B-42 in reference to the number of lines per column, was produced between the years 1450 and 1455 under the partnership of Johannes Gutenberg and his financial backer Johann Fust in approximately 180 copies - 150 on paper, 30 on vellum. Today, only 49 copies survive more or less substantially complete. Gutenberg's craftsmanship set standards "in quality of paper and blackness of ink, in design and professional skill, which the printers of later generations have found difficult to maintain; it is only in legibility of type that they have been able to improve on this, the first and in many ways the greatest of all printed books" (PMM). So rare is the B-42 that the slightest fragment is treasured, and the owner of even a single leaf will find himself in august company: of the 82 known holdings that are listed in the exhaustive Incunabula Short Title Catalogue, no fewer than 24 comprise just a single leaf or even fragments thereof; several other institutions hold two to four leaves. - This leaf originates from a severely defective copy formerly in the collection of Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria and the Palatinate. It was subsequently housed in the Bavarian Royal Library, from which it was purchased as a duplicate by the English traveller and diplomat Robert Curzon in 1832. In 1920 the volume was returned to the trade and acquired by the American bookseller Gabriel Wells, then dispersed as single leaves or larger fragments, intended for universities and schools as well as for private collectors. The individual leaves were mostly accompanied by a printed essay by the Philadelphia bibliophile A. Edward Newton, as here. Regarding the penwork decoration of this copy, Eric White notes: "The Noble Fragments are identifiable by their neatly executed alternating red and blue lombard headlines, smaller initials and chapter numerals. These were the work of a skilled artisan, probably working in Mainz, who also rubricated the Gutenberg Bible now at the Rylands Library in Manchester." - Insignificant marginal soiling to leaf. Binding very lightly rubbed at the extremeties. - 1) Carl Theodor von Pfalz-Sulzbach (1724-99), Prince-Elector of the Palatinate and of Bavaria, and his wife Marie Elisabeth Auguste von Pfalz-Sulzbach (1721-94). - 2) Court Library of Mannheim. - 3) The Royal Library at Munich (soon after 1799). - 4) Sold as a duplicate in 1832 to Robert Curzon, 14th Baron Zouche (1810-73), for ca. 350 fl. - 5) By descent to Mary Cecil Frankland, 17th Baroness Zouche (1875-1965). - 6) Sold on behalf of the Baroness at Sotheby s, London, 9 Nov. 1920, Lot 70. - 7) Frank T. Sabin (d. 1915), London, bookseller, acting for Gabriel Wells. - 8) Gabriel Wells (1861-1946), New York, bookseller, acquired in 1921. - 9) U.S. private collection. - 10) U.S. trade. - H 3031*.

Book
Rilegato. Condition: Ottime. Limitata, Numerata. Bibbia di Gutenberg (Pelplin Gutenberg Bible). Pelplin, Biblioteka Seminarium Duchownego, Hub. 28. Bernardinum Wydawnictwo, 2004. La bibbia latina a due volumi, acquistata dal reverendo Chrapicki, vescovo di Chelmno (1496-1508), fu offerta ai frati francescani dell'Ordine Lubawa (Polonia). Immediatamente prima della Seconda guerra mondiale, la Bibbia Pelplin correva il rischio di perdersi per sempre ma fu salvata dal reverendo Liedtke, che riuscì a proteggerla in una valigia di cuoio e poi a nasconderla a Parigi, insieme ad altri tesori appartenenti alla diocesi. Poco prima che le truppe tedesche invadessero la capitale francese, il tesoro polacco fu portato a Londra e, successivamente, in Canada. Alla fine, dopo 20 anni, i tesori della diocesi di Pelplin furono finalmente restituiti al loro proprietario originale. La riproduzione in facsimile della Bibbia Pelplin contiene il testo latino delle Sacre Scritture nella traduzione di San Girolamo e riporta i commenti e i prologhi presi dalla Vulgata. Delle 149 iniziali illuminate, la più bella è, senza dubbio, la prima - la lettera F - illuminata con foglia d'oro puro 24 carati e inchiostro blu, oltre ad essere decorata da uno splendido decoro marginale. Le iniziali rimanenti sono bicolore - blu e rosso - con un delicato decoro creato con l'uso di eleganti forme allungate. Riproduzione completa su carta filigranata. Legatura in pelle di capra rossa. Commentario in inglese. Una riproduzione della valigia usata per salvare la Bibbia durante la Seconda guerra mondiale custodisce i due volumi. Edizione limitata di 198 copie. Condizione ottima. 35000g.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Beautiful German Bible manuscript leaf on vellum, circa 1425. This is a classic example of the scribal writing (in Textura/Gothic) which Gutenberg used as the basis for the type that he created for the first printed book in 1455. This is a particularly lovely example, written in a large Gothic hand, double column, one 2-line initial in red and blue with elaborate 15-line tracery in the margin; one 6-line initial in red and blue with tracery. From Judges. This vellum leaf came from the typography collection of RR Donnelley, the great Chicago printing firm. The leaf is beautifully presented in a sturdy black paper mount and the leaf is fully viewable from both sides. This manuscript leaf looks very much like a printed Gutenberg leaf, right down to the black, red and blue inking used in that most famous book. Delightful.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. Les deux premiers volumes sont un fac-simile grandeur nature de l?original conservé à la Bibliothèque Mazarine. Il n?y aucune information bibliographique pour ces deux volumes sinon le numéro de tirage soit le 0680A et 0680B sans que le nombre d?exemplaires imprimés ne soit indiqué non plus. Pour le dernier volume il a été publié par les éditions Les Incunables en Juin 1985. Les fac-similes sont magnifiquement reliés plein cuir (véritable, l?odeur vous en convaincra) avec des décors dorés aux dos et aux plats et même à l?intérieur des plats. Toutes les tranches sont dorées. Chaque livre mesure environ 41 X 30 cm (16 X 12 pouces) et est logé dans un étui individuel recouvert de toile beige (ou couleur sable) avec pièce de titre au dos. L?intérieur est imprimé à l?identique avec couleur sur papier vergé. Les deux premiers volumes ont 315 et 317 pages (mais ici faut plutôt comprendre 315 et 317 feuilles le recto-verso étant compté pour une page). Le troisième volume, par Jean-Marie Dodu, qui ne fait peut-être pas officiellement parti de l?ensemble mais l?accompagne très bien est relié plutôt avec de la toile contrairement aux deux autres. Il compte 1337 pages (réelles) et est accompagné d?un carton volant contenant les abréviations usuelles d?un côté et les Caractères de la B42 de l?autre. Pour ce dernier volume je note qu?il existe aussi en deux volumes mais icxi il est en un et il est bien complet. Notre ensemble est pour ainsi dire comme neuf et d?une incroyable fraîcheur. Nous ne noterons qu?une toute petite et pâle salissure (comme un trait de crayon à la tranche droite du 3e volume et de toutes petites taches pâles aux deux boitiers (sans importance). Un magnifique ensemble d?une grande rareté. Abebooks ne nous accorde que l?espace pour 5 images mais vous n?avez qu?à me demander pour en voir d?autres. (AVERTISSEMENT ; Cet ensemble étant très pesant les frais d'envoi seront inévitablement augmentés surtout pour l'extérieur du Canada. Veuillez obligatoirement m?écrire pour connaître les frais d?envoi réels AVANT de passer votre commande sinon vous pourriez avoir de très mauvaises surprises. Paiement de préférence par Paypal).

Having developed what would prove the invention of the millennium, the mechanical movable type printing press, Johannes Gutenberg published a glorious edition of the Catholic Vulgate Bible to showcase his revolutionary technology.

All copies were purchased even before printing was complete.

Only 21 complete copies survive and none have been offered for sale since 1978. In the last decade, an eight page fragment sold for nearly $1,000,000.

Format fort in-4°( 34 x 24,3 cm )( 7,580 kgs avec l'emboîtage )------- 1400 pages. ********************** Présentation éditeur :"" Nombreux sont ceux qui la considèrent comme la plus importante invention du deuxième millénaire. Publiée vers 1454 à Mayence, la Bible de Gutenberg est le premier ouvrage majeur imprimé en Occident grâce à des caractères métalliques mobiles, inaugurant une nouvelle ère dans la diffusion du savoir à travers la production de livres en masse. Avant Gutenberg, l'impression par caractères mobiles était déjà maîtrisée en Asie, mais n'avait pas encore atteint l'Occident. Au contraire, les livres produits en Europe étaient encore copiés à la main, un processus long et laborieux. Non seulement la presse à caractères mobiles qu'imagine Gutenberg accélère la production de façon significative sans sacrifier la qualité, mais son invention élargit définitivement la diffusion du savoir et fonde les principes de la communication de masse, en permettant à un plus grand nombre d'accéder aux idées et de participer aux discussions. Parmi les révolutions radicales en matière de savoir collectif, la Bible de Gutenberg figure en tête de liste avec Internet. Cette réédition soigneuse a été réalisée à partir de l'un des rares exemplaires complets conservé à la bibliothèque de Göttingen, l'une des rares éditions latines sur vélin parvenue jusqu'à nous et ainsi l'un des livres les plus précieux au monde, inscrit au Registre de la mémoire du monde de l'UNESCO. Les 1.282 pages de ce chef-d'oeuvre artistique et technologique sont reproduites et accompagnées d'un livret rédigé par Stephan Füssel, président de la chaire Gutenberg à l'université de Mayence, qui présente Gutenberg et analyse son influence décisive. L'édition comprend aussi deux documents majeurs de l'époque: le livre modèle de Göttingen, utilisé pour les enluminures de la Bible de la bibliothèque de Göttingen, ainsi que le seul acte officiel subsistant sur la Bible de Gutenberg, rédigé par Ulrich Helmasperger, qui permet de retracer son histoire et celle de son invention unique. .
