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.
