Kesler's second Bible, a page-for-page reprint of the edition 9 October 1487.

The first use of a title page for the Bible is ascribed to Johann Pruess in the 1486 Strassburg edition; here it is simply: Biblia.

Text in two columns (Latin and French). Illustrated with 6 engraved plates: frontispiece (Johann Friederich Karg von Bebenburg); folding plate with 16 vignettes (4x4) depicting well-known biblical scenes; 4 folding maps (The Holy Land; The Promised Land Apportioned by Tribe; Jerusalem in the Second Temple Era - after Lamy; The World Known to the Evangelists). Quarter-page engraved vignettes at the head of each of the 30 biblical books; historiated initials; printed marginalia. Exquisitely bound in the 19th century in levant morocco extra over wooden boards, with mosaic compartments in crimson, ochre; and dark brown bordered in fine gilt line; spine with raised bands (lightly rubbed); pair of brass mounts, finished in black, with steel rivets at both covers (clasps and catched perished). All edges gilt and elaborately gauffered in textured floral motif; gilt inner dentelles; decorative endleaves (renewed) in orange and black; crimson silk ribbon marker. The work of a master binder. 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).

7 volumes bound as 9 (Old Testament I-VII & New Testament I-II). A small Latin Vulgate bible printed by the Plantin-Moretus office in Antwerp, the smallest-format edition of the Sixtine-Clementine authorized Catholic text. The first volume of the Old Testament has only the engraved general title-page, while each of the remaining Old Textament volumes as printed has a separate volume title-page naming the books it covers (including the volume with the apocrypha, miscellaneos texts and the indexes. After the general title-page follow a preface to the reader, the decree of the Council of Trent, "Paulus Papa V. Ad futuram rei memoriam" (Pope Paul V died in 1621) and a privilege, dated Brussels, 1611. The Old Testament also has prefaces to the books. The New Testament has no preliminaries except its title-page. In 1546 the Council of Trent ordered a revision of the Vulgate Latin Bible to establish an authorized Catholic text. Pope Sixtus V ordered the preparation of the new edition, printed by the Vatican Press and published in 1590. The book has been variously described as 12mo, 16mo and 24mo, but it is in fact a 24mo in 8s. The three divisional titles possibly printed specially for this copy have vertical chainlines and may be in 18mo format. The binding stamps are finely cut and skilfully applied, especially the curls on the spine, so it is likely to have been executed by one of the great French binders of ca. 1700.With an owner's inscription on a free endleaf in volume IV as bound ("ce livre apartient a monseigneur L[']Evesque D[']Evreux"), presumably Jean Le Normand (1662-1733), Bishop of Evreux from 1711 to his death, whose bookplate appears in 7 of the 9 volumes: the handwriting is old-fashioned for 1711, so the book could have come to Le Normand from an earlier Bishop of Evreux, but perhaps he simply wrote in an old-fashioned style. The pagination of volume ii accidentally omits numbers 577-578 but no leaf is missing there. Very slightly browned, with an occasional minor spot and with the library stamps on the letterpress title-pages abraded, but still generally in very good condition. With small cracks in the hinges of 4 volumes, minor wear on the board edges and corners, and volume III as bound (vol. ii as printed) darkened, but the binding is also otherwise in very good condition, with the tooling clear and sharp. A lovely little Catholic bible beautifully bound ca. 1700 in French gold-tooled red morocco, an unusually small format for a Catholic bible.l Darlow & Moule 6211 (New Testament only); STCV 6650952; USTC 1003882; not in www.bibliasacra.nl. Uniform gold-tooled goatskin morocco (ca. 1700), sewn on 4 supports, richly gold-tooled spines, gold-tooled turn-ins and board edges (the boards in a panel design, each board with a double frame of triple fillets, the inner 2 fillets in each frame closer together than the outer, with an ornament stamped on the intersections of the fillets at the corners of both frames, and a flower in each corner between the frames, with its head toward the corner; the spine with the title - "BIBLIA|SACRA" or "NOVVM|TESTA" - and volume - "TOM. I." etc. - in the 2nd of 5 compartments, "INDEX" in the 3rd compartment of volume VII, and the other compartments filled with curls and dots: a style sometimes called "grotesque"), gold-tooled turn-ins, marbled pastedowns (blue, red, white and yellow, extensively swirled), headbands in green and white, gilt edges. Seven volumes with the ca. 1711 engraved armorial bookplate of Jean Le Normand (1662-1733), Bishop of Evreau, and probably bound for him (his bookplate probably removed from volumes II and III as bound). With a richly engraved general title page, 6 volume title pages (each with the same Plantin-Moretus woodcut compasses device), a smaller woodcut compasses device plus 3 (of 4) repeats (2 appear on the back of the colophon; each of the others on an otherwise blank leaf), woodcut tailpieces, woodcut decorated initials. Set in roman and italic types. The present copy with 3 extra letterpress divisional title pages, perhaps specially printed for this copy when it was bound.
