Expertly repaired at spine caps. Mild marginal dampstains beginning in second half (mostly at outer corners; expanding to fore-edge and darkening in final 20 leaves).

Sumptuous edition of the Sixto-clementine Vulgate paired with the Port-Royal French in parallel columns, annotated throughout by Thomas Du Fossé and H.-C. Beaubrun, with finely engraved title vignettes and three engraved folding plates. Dedicated to Johann Friederich Karg von Bebenburg (1648-1719), the signed frontisportrait 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). References: Darlow & Moule 3779; Deleveau & Hillard, Bibles imprimées du XVe au XVIIe siècles conservées è Paris, 605.
