hardcover with slipcase. 8 x 11 inches. hardcover with slipcase. 386 pages. First hardcover edition limited to 1600 copies, of which this is one of 100 numbered copies signed by the editor. Fine in fine slipcase. The Library of Leander van Ess arrived in New York in 1838 and has since then reposed within the library of Union Theological Seminary. The collection was not only a comprehensive theological library, but was also the largest collection of incunabula west of the Atlantic Ocean at the time. An exhibition of this material was put together in 1996, and was hosted at the Grolier Club from September 17 to November 23. Research for the exhibition revealed that the collector, Leander van Ess, known to be an important figure for biblical translation, was also an important collector and book scholar. This catalogue explores van Ess's collection of Bibles in a number of languages, as well as works on church history, ecclesiastical law, and medieval manuscripts. The book is illustrated in black and white with four color illustrations and one colored fold-out plate. It contains contributions by Johannes Altenberend, Milton McC. Gatch and Paul Needham, and includes a brief biography of van Ess with introductory notes to the collection. It is written in both English and German. This is a signed and numbered copy.
