Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. Two parts, thick octavo. VIII, 1096; 328. Old Testament and Apocrypha paginated continuously; collective title page; New Testament with separate full title page. Text in two columns. Contemporary calf (rubbed); spine with raised bands, gilt title. Wear at spine cap, some loss (3/4 inch) at spine tail.… Light dampstain at bottom margin; mild foxing throughout (somewhat heavier at final 50 leaves). A good, complete copy. Rare early nineteenth-century edition of the Bible in Luther's German translation published in Pennsylvania. Apart from the 1828 New Testament, very few copies of any of the Luther Bible editions published by Johann Georg Ritter (1772-1840) at Philadelphia between 1826 and 1829 survive. In his 1893 pioneering work, The First Century of German Printing in America, Oswald Seidensticker locates no complete Luther Bibles and only two editions of the New Testament which were published by Ritter in 1826 (304 pages) and 1828 (541 pages). These were of course often bound with the Old Testament (along with their full title-page). The 1828 New Testament is the only portion of Ritter's biblical editions that is widely held in institutional libraries. Expanding upon the work of Seidensticker, the editors of The first Century of German Language Printing in the United States of America (1989) assign only four Luther Bible editions (Old and New Testaments bound together) to Ritter, one in 1827 and three in 1829. OCLC, however, locates Luther Bible editions published by Ritter in all four years between 1826 and 1829. A careful comparison of the paginations reveals that Ritter's Luther Bibles appeared in several variants. The 1827 edition was re-issued in 1829 as a "Zweyte Auflage" with 20 additional pages of preparatory material immediately preceding the Old Testament. Variants of the present edition also appeared in which the Apocrypha (160 pages) was separately paginated. (Some surviving copies lack the Apocrypha and only contain the 936 pages of the Old Testament.) Our careful review of OCLC locates only sixteen surviving copies of Ritter's Luther Bibles containing both the Old and New Testaments published between 1826 and 1829. Twenty-four copies of the separately bound 1828 New Testament have survived, as well. The only two copies of our 1827 edition have been located: the University of Waterloo and the Wurttembergische Landesbibliothek. The results of our census are appended below. Johann Georg Ritter appears to have begun his career in Reading, Pennsylvania, where he printed two German-language works for the firm of William M'Carty (and Davis) in Philadelphia: Geschichte des americanischen Kriegs von 1812 (1817); Hoch-Deutsches reformirtes A B C-und Namen-Büchlein, für Kinder welche anfangen zu lernen (1818). He later moved to Philadelphia and set up his own shop, Der Deutsche-europäischen Buch- und Kunsthandlung. Sammlung religiöser deutscher Gesaenge, which he edited along with J. G. Schmauk, was published in 1824 and has been tentatively attributed to Ritter after his move to Philadelphia; Karl Rudolph Demme's Letzte ehre des Christlichen Predigers in einer Christlichen Gemeine (Philadelphia, 1825) is the earliest work to appear under his imprint. He catered chiefly to the German-speaking Reformed community with religious works, sermons, and elementary school texts. He briefly published in 1825 a periodical edited by Johann Carl Gossler, Philadelphier Magazin für Freunde der deutschen Literatur in Amerika. Provenance: Stamp of Library of United Theological Seminary at title.
