Buchbeschreibung: Nicholas Brylinger, Basel, Switzerland, 1544. Full-Leather. Buchzustand: Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Title: Bible, Latin: Biblia Sacrosan CTA, Ex Postremis. Publisher: Nicholas Brylinger Place: Basel Year: 1544 Description: 8° (184 x 123mm). Collation: a-z8 A-Z8 AA-Yy8. Woodcut device on title, woodcut historiated initials. ENGRAVING OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS BY GEORG PENCZ, DATED 1547 (Hollstein XXXI, Pencz 40] mounted on rear pastedown. (Some browning and occasional staining, a1.8 and a2.7 strengthened at hinge.) Contemporary German blindtooled pigskin over wooden boards, outer border of Biblical scenes, initials 'D.S.' and 1547 added above and below central panel, title lettered on spine and along fore-edges (rubbed and repaired, without two fore-edge clasps). Provenance: JOHANNES BUGENHAGEN (1485-1558), German reformer (inscription on front pastedown dated 25 June 1548, and probably annotations in the text) -- extensive contemporary annotations in at least 2 other hands, one written on rear pastedown dated May 1548 -- Schultz family of Freistadt (inscriptions on rear flyleaves recording births of Micheas in 1553 and Anna in 1554 and the death in childbirth of their mother Katharina in 1555, the initials 'D.S.' on binding are presumably those of the father Schultz who recorded these events) -- Hutchison, 1850 (title inscription). BUGENHAGEN'S COPY of the first Brylinger edition of the Bible. BIBLE, in Latin: Biblia Sacrosancta. Basel: Nicholas Brylinger, 1544. Owned and signed by JOHANNES BUGENHAGEN (1485-1558), German reformer and personal minister to Martin Luther, inscription on front pastedown dated 25 June 1548. Bugenhagen had translated Luther's Bible into Low-German and had worked with Melanchthon and others on revised versions of the Bible. Bugenhagen has written Biblical verses from John, xvii:24-26 at the front of the present Brylinger Bible in his own idiomatic version, and not merely a transcription of the printed text. His autograph is dated 25 June 1548, a day when Bugenhagen and Melanchthon sent a joint letter to Nicolaus Medler regarding negotiations of the Interim of Augsburg. The reformer-printer at Basel, Nicholas Brylinger, reprinted Robert Estienne's influential Bible, which is generally considered the first critical edition of the Vulgate. It was censured by the Theology Faculty at Paris, but editions, included those further revised by Estienne, continued to appear and ultimately formed the foundation of the official Roman Vulgate. Brylinger's portable octavo editions clearly met their intended Protestant audience. A copy of his 4th edition (1557) was owned by Philip Melanchthon (now in the Massachusetts Historical Society, cf. D. Berkowitz, In Remembrance of Creation, no. 156), and the present copy was owned by the German reformer, Johann Bugenhagen. Personal minister to Martin Luther, he had translated Luther's Bible into Low-German and had worked with Melanchthon and others on revised versions of the Bible. While none of the annotations in the volume has been positively identified as Melanchthon's, one note on Xx1r is initialed 'P.M.'. Further evidence of its continued Protestant ownership is an anonymous manuscript summary of Martin Luther on Proverbs. RARE. Not in Adams or Darlow & Moule. CERL records copies in Munich, Warsaw and Paris (Bib. de la Société biblique); Copinger records his own copy and that at Stuttgart, and there is in addition one at NYPL (imperfect).

Bortset fra det facsimilerede titelblad, et komplet eksemplar af Vasa Biblen. Originaltrykket af den første trykte Svenske Bibel, den såkaldte Gustav Vasa-Bibel, som har haft et ganske overordentlig og betydelig indflydelse på det svenske skriftsprog. Redigeret af Laurentius Petri, er Gustaf-Vasa bibelen uden sammenligning det største og fornemste svenske bogværk fra 1500-tallet, og oversættelsen blev grundlaget for alle svenske bibler langt op i Det 19. århundrede. Vasa-Bibelen "var redan vid Upsala mötet (1593) så sällsynt, att en ny upplaga då beslöts, ehura den aldrig kom till stånd. De exemplar, som bevarats till nutiden, äro mestadels ytterst illa medfarna och utgöra oftast endast usla fragment av det väldiga verket."(Björck & Börjesson Katalog No. 250 (1930), nr. 10)."Gustav Vasas bibel har utövat ett oerhört inflytande på det nysvenska skriftspråket. Översättningen utnärker sig, såsom v. Friesen framhåallar, för en enastående förenkling av språket, i det att översättarna bemödet sigh att åt sitt verk förläna en omsorgsfullt utarbetad och systematiskt genomfördortografisk dräkt, samtidigt som de icke uppgivit kontakten med det redan traditionella religiösa språkbruget. Jämförd med översättningen av NT 1526 betecknar den hya bibelöversättningen ett betydeligt framsteg, den har ju också med oväsentliga förändringar blivit omtryckt i talriga upplagor ändast in på 1800-talet." (Collijn)."This Swedish Bible is the first containing the entire text and the only complete Bible printed in Sweden in the 16th century. The translation is based on the Luther Bibles of 1523 and 1534 and was made under the direct supervision of the Swedish reformers, Laurentius Petri and Olavus Petri, who in this work laid the foundation of the modern Swedish language. Their text was used, with small alterations, in numerous editions up to the beginning of the 19th century. the printing of this Bible, which was the largest typographical undertaken of the century, had to be entrusted to a foreign printer, Georg Richoff of Lubeck, who was invited to Uppsala. He brought new type material, the Teuerdanck Fraktur for headlines and a Wittenber Schwabach for the text, and more than ten series of initials of different sizes, thus introducing the typographical resources of the German High renaissnace into Sweden. He also brought a wide range of wood-blocks, mainly from Wittenberg, for the sumpttuous illustrations: an architectural title-frame, a cricifix, the arms of the Realm and 60 illustrations in th.

Ellers et relativt godt eksemplar med bred margin. * Danmarks første trykte helbibel, som oftest benævnt Christian III's bibel. Efter at Sverige i 1541 havde fået sin første fuldstændige bibeloversættelse, gav Christian III efter anbefaling af den tyske reformator Johan Bugenhagen ordre til, at man skulle påbegynde en oversættelse af den samlede bibeltekst efter Luthers tyske tekstudgave. Christiern Pedersen, udgiveren af Saxos Danmarkshistorie i Paris 1524, havde allerede oversat store dele af bibelteksten. En kommission, blandt andre bestående af teologen Niels Hemmingsen, biskoppen Peder Palladius og præsten Peder Tidemand, fik til opgave at gennemgå og revidere teksten. Da der i 1540'erne ikke fandtes en bogtrykker i Danmark, der kunne påtage sig så stor en opgave, blev Rostock-bogtrykkeren Ludwig Dietz i 1548 indkaldt for med hele sit typemateriale at komme til København for at forestå trykningen. Dietz var kendt for nogle år forinden i Lybeck at have trykt en plattysk udgave af bibelen, og den danske bibel, som i 1550 forelå færdigtrykt i 3000 eksemplarer, var da også teknisk set en kopi af Lybecker-udgaven. Dennes illustrationer af Erhard Altdorfer, hvor de bibelske figurer optræder i 1500-tals dragter, blev også brugt i den danske bibel, dog blev der specielt til den danske udgave udført et træsnit af Christian III, som findes bag på hovedtitelbladet, samt et helsides træsnit af det danske rigsvåben omgivet af en bred ramme, begge udført efter forlæg af den tyske maler Jacob Brinck, der var elev af Albrecht Dürer.Laur.

Buchbeschreibung: Faksimile Verlag Luzern. Hardcover. Buchzustand: New. Ottheinrich's Bible, 15th Century - Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, München, Cgm 8010/1.2The Queen of German Bibles A deluxe work of Regensburgian illumination from the Bibliotheca Palatina Around the year 1425, an anonymous member of the court commissioned one of the finest German Bible manuscripts in Regensburg. From the 10th century the illuminator's workshops in Regensburg inspired the schools in the Danube region, where monasteries specialised in illustrated luxury manuscripts which still impress us today with their quality decoration and individual creativity. Ottheinrich, the bibliophile Elector Palatine (1502-1559) , bought the manuscript around 1530 as a showpiece for his world famous Bibliotheca Palatina in Heidelberg. Thanks to him, this magnificent work of art and monument to the German language has been saved for posterity. Ottheinrich hired the Renaissance master Matthias Gerung to continue with the decoration of the manuscript and the artist made it into the unequalled and sumptuous edition of the New Testament that we know today. Written in the early High German language, the book can be easily understood by modern readers. The oldest illustrated Gospels in the German languageIn total, eight volumes containing the New Testament texts in German have come down to us, three of which are now kept in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek. The first two volumes of Ottheinrich's Bible, meanwhile compiled in one volume for reasons of conservation under the book number Cgm 8010/1.2, encompass the Gospels of Saint Matthew and Saint Mark as well as portions of the Gospel of Saint Luke. Their importance among the masterpieces of German art cannot be overstated. Ottheinrich's Bible is also of the greatest interest in the history of the German language, since it was written at a time when Luther's translation of the New Testament was still 100 years in the future. Competition of the bestOttheinrich's Bible is a courtly masterpiece, lavishly illustrated with sparkling gold and precious colours. Whoever commissioned it originally intended more than the simple ordering of a luxury manuscript and must have wished to possess a work representing the culmination of the accomplishments of the most eminent artists of his time. The two principal masters are from the school of the leading Regensburgian artist of this period, the Master of the Carrying of the Cross of Worcester. Named after the Gospels from their hands in Ottheinrich's Bible, they are referred to as the Master of Saint Matthew and Saint Mark. Courtly luxury on finest vellum78 folios in the representative format of 53.2 x 37.2 cm are ornate with 46 miniatures on a gold leaf ground, which is additionally decorated with the most exquisite gold chasing. The layout and design of the miniatures frequently covering half a page and sometimes a full page are in the style of panel paintings. More than 40 brushed gold initials with colourful vines are dispersed throughout the text which is written in two columns. Priceless opaque colours and gold abound to imitate the texture of precious materials, pearl embroideries and precious stones. Secular themes from courtly life are hidden in playful details: a stag hunt, a loving couple, a court jester, and all kinds of coloured birds, are found in the decorative scrollwork. The unmistakable hand of the mastersMost miniatures go back to the Master of Saint Matthew whose paintings recall the style of Giotto. His colour pallet comprises violet and grey tones, in order to underline the modelling of figures. The Master of Saint Mark also follows Italian models in his work. A talented storyteller, he tries to animate the scene to be depicted by enlargement and imaginative drama. Both painters were active in the same workshop and thus had access to the same Italian models, a rather common situation in Regensburg where masters from Padua and Verona worked together. Although sharing a common stylistic background, both artists, however, developed their ind. Buchnummer des Verkäufers 45056

De mange store og små træsnitillustrationer i teksten har tysk forbillede og minder om dem, som findes i Chr. III's Danske Bibel fra 1550. Hver kirke i Island måtte bidrage 1 rigsdaler til trykningen, og den danske konge bidrog med en betydelig sum. Den senere biskop Harboe videregiver (Dänische Bibliothek VIII, p. 56) en historie om, at Satan i to nætter i træk med blæk ødelagde biskop Gudbrand's oversættelse.This is the first Icelandic bible, known as "Gudbrands Biblia", because it was edited and in large part translated by Bishop Gudbrandur Thorlaksson.

While Luther was sequestered in the Wartburg Castle (1521–1522) he began to translate the New Testament into German in order to make it more accessible to all the people of the "Holy Roman Empire of the German nation." He used Erasmus' second edition (1519) of the Greek New Testament—Erasmus' Greek text would come to be known as the Textus Receptus. To help him in translating Luther would make forays into the nearby towns and markets to listen to people speak. He wanted to ensure their comprehension by a translation closest to their contemporary language usage. It was published in September 1522, six months after he had returned to Wittenberg. In the opinion of the 19th century theologian and church historian Philip Schaff, "The richest fruit of Luther's leisure in the Wartburg, and the most important and useful work of his whole life, is the translation of the New Testament, by which he brought the teaching and example of Christ and the Apostles to the mind and heart of the Germans in life-like reproduction. It was a republication of the gospel. He made the Bible the people's book in church, school, and house." The translation of the entire Bible into German was published in a six-part edition in 1534, a collaborative effort of Luther, Johannes Bugenhagen, Justus Jonas, Caspar Creuziger, Philipp Melanchthon, Matthäus Aurogallus, and Georg Rörer. Luther worked on refining the translation up to his death in 1546: he had worked on the edition that was printed that year. Luther added the word "alone" (allein in German) to Romans 3:28 controversially so that it read: "thus, we hold, then, that man is justified without the works of the law to do, alone through faith" The word "alone" does not appear in the original Greek text, but Luther defended his translation by maintaining that the adverb "alone" was required both by idiomatic German and the apostle Paul's intended meaning. This is a literalist view rather than an literal view of the Bible which is contrary to all other references in the Bible, especially the Epistle of James. D&M #4202. Buchnummer des Verkäufers 388

(titre de la deuxième partie, avec le même encadrement gravé que le premier titre) - 133 ff. foliotés I à CXXXIII - 1 f. n. ch. - 2 ff. bl., nombreuses lettrines et figures gravées sur bois dans le texte, reliure allemande de l'époque en plein veau brun sur ais de bois, chaque plat décoré de quatre écoinçons et d'un ombilic en laiton, filets en encadrement et en diagonale estampés à froids et fleurons en rosette répétés, dos à 4 nerfs, chaque entre-nerfs étant orné de trois rosettes à froid, fermoirs, clous sur les coupes. Deuxième tirage de cette Bible catholique publiée une première fois, également à Ingolstadt, en 1537. Ce tirage ne diffère avec la première éditon que par la date imprimée au titre. La Bible de Luther, dont la publication commença en 1522 et s'acheva en 1534, appela une riposte de la part de l'Eglise catholique. On connaît trois séries de Bibles "catholiques" allemandes rédigées par des biblistes et polémistes contemporains adversaires de Luther : celle de Hieronymus Emser (Dresde, 1527), celle de Johann Dietenberger (Mayence, 1534) et celle-ci (qui connut trois éditions identiques à Ingolstadt en 1537, 1550 et 1558), qui est une révision de celle de Emser, pour ce qui concerne le Nouveau Testament (BTT, 5, p. 213). Les deux derniers feuillets blancs comportent divers ex-libris et ex-dono d'époque. Des trous de vers au premier plat et dans les mors, 4 clous remplacés récemment, 7 boulons élimés, quelques mouillures angulaires claires, une vingtaine de feuillets rognés un peu court avec parfois de petites pertes de lettre dans les annotations marginales, une déchirure angulaire à un feuillet avec perte de texte, quelques restaurations, dont le titre remonté et le colophon remonté avec des pertes de lettre complétées à la plume. Ces menus défauts ne doivent pas faire oublier que cette bible est dans l'ensemble en bel état. Sa reliure d'époque bien conservée rend cette édition importante fort désirable. (GRAESSE, I, 378).

Buchbeschreibung: 0. Tadellos erhaltenes, sauberes Exemplar der ersten lateinischen Ausgabe mit den Holzschnitten von Jost Amman. Die Entwürfe dieser Holzschnitte gehen auf die "Biblischen Figuren" von Johann Bocksperger aus dem Jahr 1564 zurück. Jedoch hat Jost Amman in dieser Bibelausgabe auch eigene Illustrationen geliefert, die er teils auch selbst geschnitten hat. Die Bibel mit den Bildern von Bocksperger und Amman hat große Verbreitung gefunden. Die Auffassung der Propheten blieb bestehen, wie Luther sie geschaffen hatte. Die tiefe Verbundenheit des Künstlers mit dem Text offenbart sich besonders im Alten Testament auf Schritt und Tritt. Es ist ein echtes Suchen nach konkreter Vorstellung der heiligen Geschichte, die turmhoch über dem hohlen Pathos der späteren Bibelillustationen steht. - Becker, Amman S. 10. - Hollstein, I, S. 37.
