A Translation of the Old Testament Scriptures from the Original Hebrew 1st Edition

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Rare/scarce rm #56. Ex-library (church) copy with normal markings and attachments. Text is clean, pages have aged over the years, but are still solid and intact. Binding is tight and solid. This is a wonderful find, the nineteenth century saw a number of non-committee type versions of the Bible, but the most noteworthy is this translation of the Old Testament, published in 1885 by it's author Helen Spurrell - The wife of a pastor, and an accomplished musician, artist and sculptor. She was a scholar of Bulliol College, Oxford University, Spurrell taught herself Hebrew after the age of 50 with the objective of translating the Bible of Israel. She is a noted Hebrew scholar and this work reflects her in-depth research and knowledge. In 1885 Mrs. Spurrell published this version of the Old Testament in her scholarly work that was translated entirely from an unpointed Hebrew text, that is, a Hebrew Bible that is written in the consonantal text, with all consonants, no vowels. Our research indicates that Helen Spurrell's work is perhaps THE best English translation of the Old Testament ever, This version is straight from the original Hebrew text and disregards the vowel points found in the Masoretic text. Mrs Spurell dismissed the Masoretic Hebrew text as the frail invention of man. It has been reported to us by a bible translation collector of over 20 years that early on, most of the copies of Spurrell's Bible were lost in a fire. Our source sited the publication "English Language Bible Translators, 2003" as having reported that fire was the reason so few of the copies still exist of this original work. Cover reflects the age (120 years + ) and biblical study use of this scholarly work- spine area is worn with some wear and tear to hinge areas, but is not ragged (most worn area is the spine head). Stamped title on spine is still very legible, all corners are scuffed, but not coming apart. Embossed striping on cover is very artistic in appearance, boards are a dark bluish green to dark green in color. Date: 1885 (The date on the title page reads MDCCCCLXXXV or 1985! This is a misprint for 1885.) Rare/scarce rm #56. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Religion & Theology; Antiques & Collectibles.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Ko te Kawenata Hou o to tatou Ariki te Kai Wakaora a ihu Karaiti -First edition of the Maori New Testament - Published in Paihia, New Zealand, 1837 -With 11p of notes by Selwyn, and a dedication from William Williams to George Augustus Selwyn on June 21 1842. Ko te Kawenata Hou o to tatou Ariki te Kai Wakaora a ihu Karaiti : This is the first Complete edition of the New Testament published in Maori, which came off William Colenso s press in Paihia in late 1837. The work is significant for being the first Bible to be published in an indigenous language in the Southern Hemisphere. It had taken 10 years to translate, mostly by William Williams, and 5000 copies were produced with many copies sent to London and Sydney for binding. The work was hugely popular and Maori travelled far and wide to obtain a copy of this long-awaited work. After publication, the Bibles were well used and copies are rare today with around 40 copies recorded to have survived in Institutions. Most institutional copies are located in New Zealand and Australia (around 20 copies), with 7 in the US, 5 in the UK, and 2 each in France, Denmark and Germany. The work appears uncommonly on the private market, with the last significant copies appearing in the sales of the great 20thCentury collections of New Zealand printing of Pycroft (2011) and Parr (2019), both of which were unsigned. This copy is complete with 356 pages of text including the printed title page. The book is bound in its contemporary full leather binding with wear and some splitting to the spine. A total of 11 blanks are densely annotated in Bishop Selwyn s hand. Some of the opening blanks are torn. There are stains to the upper and lower portions of many pages, consistent with the book being heavily used by its owner. Some pages are loosening, especially the opening quires. Provenance Previously owned by Frank Haigh (1898 - 1992), New Zealand lawyer and activist whose papers and archives are in Auckland Libraries. Haigh purchased the book from the estate of John Kinder (1819-1903), an important early Anglican clergyman who worked with Selwyn, and likely received the book directly from Selwyn. Inscription: Presented to the Right Reverend George Augustus Lord Bishop of New Zealand by William Williams June 21. 1842. Annotations The opening 6, and closing 5 blank pages of this copy are densely filled with contemporary notes by Selwyn in English and Te Reo Maori. Most of the annotations are preparatory short notes for sermons, with references to important Bible passages. Annotations include The Parable of the Sower , and The Parable of the Labourer and references to Sermons given on Christmas Day with Matthew Chapter 1 verse 23, and Genesis chapter 3 verse 5. Notes in Maori include collects after the passage from Matthew 28v19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, a passage which would have been important to Selwyn s faith.
