Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good+. 24mo; 81, [119] pages; Contemporary full polished tan calf, with five raised bands on the spine, there is a red morocco label lettered in gilt "BIBLIA SACR" in the second panel. The central panel directly under the label has gilt tooling directly stamped, reading: "T. 5." (sic, for "6"). The oth…er panels have elaborate gilt floral tooling, the covers are framed with a single rule fin gilt, marbled endpapers, edges decoratively stained red. With a superb engraved armorial bookplate mounted to the front free endpaper -- (a nine-point coronet surmounting a pear-shaped shield which contains a loop of rope surrounded by three stars and a crescent moon at the top. This excellent plate has no name, no date, and no identification of engraver). The binding is entirely consistent with the period of this 1670 book. The fine bookplate is in the Rococo style often denoted Louis XIV, with no straight lines, an elegantly curved pear-form to the heraldic shield, and even the coronet atop the shield is at a slightly jaunty angle. This plate, while unidentified, is worth further study. In all, a wonderful copy beautifullly preserved, of the final volume of a miniature edition of the Sixto-Clementine Vulgate Latin version of the Bible ('Biblia Sacra Vulgatæ Editionis Sixti Quinti Pontificis Maximi iussu recognita atque edita' . This edition resembles, but is slightly larger than, the miniature edition published at Cologne in 1638-1639. Our volume is the final volume in the 1670 miniature set; these three Biblical texts form an appropriate end to the set, as Clement VIII removed 3 and 4 Esdras and the Prayer of Manasses from the Old Testament and placed them as Apocrypha into an appendix following the New Testament -- "ne prorsus interirent" ("lest they utterly perish"). The first text, the "Prayer of Manasses" is brief -- 15 verses of the penitential prayer of king Manasseh of Judah; (occupying page 3 and half of page 4, only). "3 Esdras" -- (called 1 Esdras in the King James Bible) was extensively quoted by early Christian authors and it ws given a place in Origen's Hexapla. While it was not included in early canons of the Western Church, it remains part of the Eastern Orthodox canon. "4 Esdras" is considered one of the gems of Jewish apocalyptic literature. It is canonical only in the Orthodox Slavonic Bible, (and a portion is part of the canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church). Like 3 Esdras, it is widely cited by early church Fathers, particularly Ambrose of Milan. Its verses provided sources for several liturgical prayers, and may have suggested the text of the Introitus of the traditional Catholic Requiem Mass -- "Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them." These three texts, preserved by Clement VIII are followed by an unpaginated index to the Biblical texts ("cum indice Bibliorum triplici" -- specifically, "Index Testimoniorvm a Christo et Apostolis in novo Testamento"; "Hebraicorvm, Chaldæorvm, Græcorvmqve Nominum interpretatio"; and "Index Biblicvs."). See Darlow & Moule, no. 6239. Indeed, the Bible Society copy deposited in Cambridge University is the only complete set I can find recorded of the full six volumes of this 1670 set. The Cambridge/Bible Society set is carefully described by an excellent catalogue entry (available online with a Newton search) which makes clear that our volume VI is the only one of the set not to have an additional, engraved title-page before the text, (running title: "Pentateuchum Moysi"). The other distinction is that this final volume is the only one to omit the Parisian portion of the imprint found in the other volumes ("Parisiis : Væneunt apud Fr. Leonard"). [See OCLC Number: 265388382; Univ. Cambridge, & Catholic Univ. of America (but note that Catholic Univ. has only volume one). There are copies of volume VI (like ours, unaccompanied by others of the set of six) at: Cleveland Public Library; Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen; Biblioteca Diocesana Tridentina "A. Ro.

Expertly repaired at spine caps. Occasional faint embrowning; marginal dampstains beginning in second half (mostly at outer corners; expanding to fore-edge and darkening considerably in final 20 leaves). Overall a very good copy, with crisp text throughout, though incomplete: lacks Antoine Arnould's "Concorde des quatre Evangélistes," along with its accompanying Latin version and the concluding index. Amply margined copy of this sumptuous edition of the Bible, comprising the Latin Sixto-clementine Vulgate and the Port-Royal French translation printed in parallel columns. Isaac-Louis Lemaistre de Sacy (1613-1684) was the principal translator of the French version, which was edited and completed after his death by Pierre Thomas du Fossé (1634-1698) and Henri-Charles de Beaubrun (1655-1723), who also provide annotations throughout. According to Barbier, the French controversialist Thierry de Viaixnes (1659-1735), who found himself often at odds with his superiors, was the principal editor of the work; at the time of its preparation he was serving as director of an academy at Hautvilliers in the diocese of Rheims (McClintock & Strong). Dedicated to Johann Friederich Karg von Bebenburg (1648-1719), whose signed portrait was drawn and engraved by C. Gustav of Amling. An advocate of maximal papal power, Karg served as Privy Councilor of the Prince-Bishop of Bamberg and Würzburg, Peter Philipp von Dernbach, then of Elector Max Emanuel of Bavaria. He served as Dean of Our Lady in Munich, and was entrusted by Emperor Leopold I with a legation to Pope Innocence XI. By these efforts he secured in 1688 the election of Prince Joseph Clemens of Bavaria as Archbishop of Cologne, as a result of which he was made Chancellor and Minister of State (here noted on the frontispiece). Provenance and annotations: Bookplate of Herman Blum (Blumhaven Library & Gallery), with his ticket below; two gilt-stamped ex-libris morocco labels: Henry W. Poor (oval); Adolph Lewisohn (octogonal).

Add to basket2 volumes bound as 1. Extraordinary copy of the first edition, published by Moretus (Moerentorf) & Van Keerberghen, of the famous Moerentorf Bible in the vernacular Dutch language, printed in 1599, especially interesting for its vivid contemporary hand-colouring and for its richly blind-tooled contemporary binding. The authorita…tive Moerentorf Bible or Moretus Bible, was a revision of the 1548 Louvain Bible in Dutch, but corrected based on the improved Latin Vulgate of 1592 published by the authority of Pope Clement VIII. The Moerentorf Bible met extraordinary success and "became the standard Bible for Dutch Roman Catholics" (Darlow & Moule) for almost three centuries, being repeatedly reprinted as the official Dutch translation of the Vulgate in the Low Countries.Jan Moerentorf, better known as Jan I Moretus, published this revised Dutch translation of the Old and New Testament together in 1599 with the title Biblia sacra. The first woodcut of the Old Testament, in Genesis, is signed "P.B" by Peter van der Borcht, a Flemish painter, draughtsman and etcher who was full-time assistant to Christopher Plantin and illustrated many of his liturgical works. The other woodcut illustrations in the Old Testament are copied from the engraved print series of the German painter and printmaker Hans Sebald Beham (1500-1550), who was especially known for his very small engravings. The present edition appeared in two issues, one with the imprint of Moretus alone and the present one with the imprint of both Moretus and Van Keerberghen. Poortman shows a completely different first woodcut illustration (not signed P.B.) for the Moretus version, says its other illustrations are printed from a different series of blocks, differing in detail and rendering the scenes in mirror image, and also notes differences in the orthography. With the bookplate (on the front paste-down) and library stamp (on a free endleaf, the back of the title-page, and the first text page) of Wetenschappelijke Bibliotheek Eindhoven, the former monastic library of the Augustinian monastery in Eindhoven and one of the most important scholarly theological libraries of the Netherlands. Also with one contemporary annotation on Pp1 of the Old Testament.Binding slightly worn around the edges, especially around the spine, edges a little dust-soiled and some damage to the back board where the leather fastenings were originally attached to the boards with brass pins. Minor marginal stains, spots and dust-soiling, mostly in the first part, and a few creases throughout the book, a small tear in the right lower corner of Oo6 in the Old Testament (not affecting the text), a larger tear (partly restored) and restoration in the foot margin in L6 of the Old Testament. The colouring of the initials and woodcuts has slightly browned the paper. Overall, however, the Bible is in good condition.
