Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book sets out to analyze the historical context of the New Testament Gospels and uncover their original intention. The author finds that the Gospels have lost much of their power and freshness under the weight of a systematized theology that has distorted their true message. The G…ospels themselves were written over a period of 18 centuries, each generation re-interpreting them in light of its own cultural and intellectual understanding. As a result, the original truths conveyed by Jesus have become obscured by doctrinal teachings and tradition. The author brings a fresh perspective to the Gospels, approaching them as a scholar and an earnest seeker of truth. This book is for those who are dissatisfied with the current state of Christianity and are seeking a deeper understanding of the Gospel message. It is an invitation to rediscover the revolutionary spirit of Jesus' teachings and to apply them to our lives in a meaningful way. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Add to basketFIRST EDITION. Folio (32.25 x 21.25 cm). pp.9-462+[1, colophon]. Full 18th-century marbled vellum, spine with gilt rules, gilt decoration, and red morocco label. With 149 text woodcuts by Leonardo Parassole (c.1570-c.1630) after Antonio Tempesta (1555-1630), their monograms appearing on a number of the illustrations. The woodcut…s are remarkable examples of Tempesta's work, notable for their clarity of composition and their didactic narrative of the episodes depicted. Old bibliographical remark in Latin to verso of final leaf. From a German private collection. Some partial browning due to paper stock and occasional light foxing, generally a very handsome copy. First edition of the Gospels in Arabic and Latin - a landmark cultural encounter. In 1584, the last year of the papacy of Gregory XIII who had constantly endeavoured to effect a union between the Church of Rome and the eastern Christians, Cardinal Ferdinando de' Medici, the brother, and later the successor, of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, founded a printing press in Rome with a vast selection of oriental types cut by the French typographer Robert Granjon. Run by a versatile orientalist, Giovan Battista Raimondi, the press had various aims. One was to produce propaganda which would attract the eastern Christians to Roman Catholicism. Another was to corner the publishing market in an area where typography was prohibited and to make a financial profit from the sale in the east of books printed in Arabic. The third aim was to further European knowledge and to provide good editions of Arabic versions of certain standard non-religious texts. These included the writings of Avicenna, al-Idrisi's geographical compendium, al-Tusi's adaptation of Euclid's text on geometry, and various works on Arabic grammar and syntax. The first major publication was the 1591 edition of the Gospels. This copy has an interlinear Latin translation, but the work was also issued solely in Arabic. It contains 149 fine woodcut illustrations made by Leonardo Parasole mainly after designs by one of the best known Florentine artists of his day, Antonio Tempesta, who owed much of his fame to the frescoes he painted in the Vatican and in a number of Roman palaces. The woodcut in the Gospel of St Mark of the presentation of the head of John the Baptist to Salome (Mark 6:28) by a man in Turkish dress reminds us of the common association between the great enemy of Christendom in the sixteenth century and the ancient heathens. The Arabic text is printed in Robert Granjon's famous large fount, generally considered the first satisfactory Arabic printing type; as all early printed editions of the Arabic Gospels, it is based on the Alexandrian Vulgate (cf. Darlow/M. 1636). The Latin version is by Leonardo Sionita. The work begins with page 9, without a title-page or any preliminary matter at all: "the intended prefatory matter was apparently never published" (Darlow/M.); these first eight pages were not supplied until the 1619 re-issue. (Brunet 1122-1123).

Rare 1619 reissue or of the original 1591 stock of the Arabic Medicean Gospels. The text lines are almost identical with those of the Arabic issue, but now have an interlinear Latin version added, which was prepared by Antonius Sionita. In 1584, the last year of the papacy of Gregory XIII who had constantly endeavoured to effect a union between the Church of Rome and the eastern Christians, Cardinal Ferdinando de' Medici, the brother, and later the successor, of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, founded a printing press in Rome with a vast selection of oriental types cut by the French typographer Robert Granjon.
