Leather. Zustand: NEAR FINE. First Edition. First Printing of the LDS KJV Bible with Cambridge's print code '17 ML 79' to the final page of Revelation. 6.75x9' Large-format 8vo edition with large, bold typeface, the same size and font known as the Cambridge 'Turquoise' font, famed for its legibility. Smyth-sewn binding in brown Calfskin leather, gilt edges, gilt stamped spine lettering, yellow place ribbon, thumb-indexed. This edition, edited and produced in partnership between the LDS Church and the Cambridge University Press, contains a running footer with critical translation notes as well as cross-references to the main LDS works (Doctrines and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price, Book of Mormon), as well as appended Topical Guide, Bible Dictionary, Gazeteer, Maps, and a gathering of Joseph Smith Translation variant readings which are too lengthy for the footnotes. With tab-indexes added, a few of which have torn away from the pages; colored pencil marking to two pages of Isaiah, otherwise entirely clean and sharp, sound binding. Production of the LDS KJV was transitioned to Deseret Books in the 90's and the Cambridge editions have since become increasingly scarce, with the Large-Print editions now fairly hard to come by. William James Mortimer, general manager of Deseret Books, commented, 'Mortimer commented that there was ?an excellent relationship with Cambridge on the missionary Bibles that they had been producing for us. They didn?t want to lose the business, and so they were very anxious to continue to work with us, because it meant a pretty good-size volume of business for them.? [33] Mortimer further explained that in the 1920s, Elder James E. Talmage and President Heber J. Grant had established a relationship with Cambridge University Press when the Church had produced an earlier edition of scripture. ?Elder Talmage prepared what was to become the ready reference,.a collection by Brother Talmage of scripture from the Bible that supported a number of Latter-day Saint doctrines.This was about the only thing available for maybe.upwards of fifty years that tied LDS doctrine to the KJV.Deseret Book published this version of the Bible and referred to it as the missionary edition during this period of a half century.? 'Cambridge University Press found a unique challenge in the invitation to assist with printing an LDS edition of the Bible, despite Cambridge?s sterling reputation for printing and publishing Bibles for nearly four hundred years. Roger Coleman, publishing director of Bibles and religious books at Cambridge, listed several obstacles, including deadlines and project size. In addition, he noted that Cambridge ?rarely set a new Bible for a completely new version?and that this was probably ?the first time we have ever set and produced a Bible in collaboration with and under the primary direction of an outside publisher.? (Fred E. Woods, 'The Latter-day Saint Edition of the King James Bible,' in *The King James Bible and the Restoration,* ed. Kent P. Jackson, 260?280.).

186 x 135 mm. (7 3/8 x 5 1/4"). Single column, 20 lines in a gothic book hand. i (blank), 108, i (blank) leaves (bound too tightly for a close collation, but APPARENTLY COMPLETE). Contents: Calendar (f. 1r); Gospel Lessons (f. 7r); Hours of the Holy Cross (f. 11r); Hours of the Holy Spirit (f. 15r); Mass of the Virgin (18r); "Obsecro te" (f. 21r); "O Intemerata" (f. 23r); Suffrages (f. 24r); Hours of the Virgin (f. 33r); Office of the Virgin as said throughout Advent (f. 71r); Penitential Psalms (f. 76r); Litany and petitions (f. 81v); Office of the Dead (f. 87r). HANDSOME RENAISSANCE ENTRELAC BINDING (upper joint and parts of spine very skillfully repaired), covers with a gilt floral border surrounding a central panel of gilt strapwork design with traces of original polychrome painting, raised bands, spine gilt in compartments, original bosses and catchplates (clasps renewed), all edges gilt. Rubrics in red, numerous one-line initials in blue with red penwork, or gold with dark purple penwork, many two-line initials in burnished gold on pink and blue ground with white highlights, most of these with floral sprays extending into the margins, 22 SMALL MINIATURES (measuring approximately 45 x 37 mm.), each with panel borders of colorful acanthus and flowers at the top and bottom of the page, connected by a strand of gilt bezants, and 14 FULL-PAGE MINIATURES, each surrounded by a full border of acanthus, flowers, and bezants, the facing pages also with full borders and a large six-line initial painted pink or blue, filled with swirling vines and flowers, on gilt and painted ground. Subjects of the large miniatures being: Crucifixion (f. 10v); Pentecost (f. 14v); Virgin and Child (f. 17v); Annunciation (f. 32v); Visitation (f. 42v); Nativity (f. 49v); Annunciation to the Shepherds (f. 52v); Adoration of the Magi (f. 55v); Presentation in the Temple (f. 58v); Massacre of the Innocents (f. 61v); Flight into Egypt (f. 66v); Coronation of the Virgin (f. 70v); David in Prayer (f. 75v); Raising of Lazarus (f. 86v). Front pastedown with a 16th century inscription (see below); rear pastedown with a 17th century ownership inscription in ink, signed François le Paige. Lower joint a bit rubbed, margins with a little soiling and occasional wrinkle, fore-edge border rule just grazed by binder in a few places (the other borders quite ample), miniatures with tiny chips, light fading or rubbing in a couple places, etc., but IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, the attractive period binding very well preserved, with boards showing virtually no signs of wear, the vellum generally clean and bright, and the miniatures fresh and richly colored. This is an extensively illustrated Book of Hours preserved in an especially attractive early binding, with richly colored miniatures attributed to the Master of Philip of Cleves' "Book of the Hunt." Active in the Low Countries from approximately 1470-90, this artist was patronized by some of the area's wealthiest elite, and is known to have collaborated with another important illuminator called the Bruges Master of 1482. Some trademarks of our painter include faces with subtle blue shading; high, arched eyebrows; thin golden halos; and women with very straight, shoulder-length hair highlighted with strands of gold. Outdoor scenes often contain narrative elements in the distance, such as the figures of a young David and Goliath in the miniature of King David at Prayer, or pagan idols dropping from a column in the Flight into Egypt, recalling a popular apocryphal tale of pagan relics miraculously falling to pieces as the Holy Family passes by. Some miniatures of note (in addition to these two) are the Raising of Lazarus for the Office of the Dead--a popular alternative to funeral images, particularly among Flemish illuminators--and the Massacre of the Innocents for the hour of Vespers, a particularly violent episode in which King Herod commands his soldiers to slaughter the male infants of Bethlehem. Like other miniatures in this work, the action in these scenes is spread out between the fore, middle, and background, creating a multi-layered narrative that invites the eye to explore and meditate. The artist's color palette in this manuscript is quite memorable, and includes a bright mustard yellow, pale green, and cherry blossom pink. The Coronation of the Virgin makes particularly strong use of color, with a sunset-like gradient giving way to billowy blue clouds. The Annunciation miniature also demonstrates the Master's facility with color; here, the Angel Gabriel's red and green wings are fully extended, while the Virgin is radiant against a golden yellow wall covering. In addition to the large compositions, we are treated to 22 smaller miniatures depicting the Evangelists and saints, each of which is charming in its more confined presentation. Although the saints found in the Suffrages are quite typical for a Book of Hours, the Calendar is another story. Despite being rather sparsely filled out, the calendar here includes several feast days, some of them unusual enough to provide additional insight into the manuscript's localization and use. For example, there is St. Landoaldi (19 March), a missionary to Northern France and Belgium, and St. Winnoc (6 November), the son of a Breton king with a former abbey in the far north of France. The calendar is idiosyncratic in other ways as well, with saints' names that are repeated, and others that are either extremely obscure or whose dates seem to be wrong. Whatever the case, additional research into the calendar would undoubtedly prove revealing. We are fortunate to have some early provenance information written into this Book of Hours. The inscription on the front pastedown reads: "This last day of September 1590 we [name erased, but Claude le Paige] lieutenant of the guards of his highness of Bar le Duc on the one hand and Alix de la Taxe on the other hand have married in front of the holy Catholic church at the place of Mir[e]court."

Couverture rigide. Zustand: Bon. 3 parties en 2 vol. : Hambourg, 1751, in-12, 3 parties en 2 vol. : [2]-127-50-57-[1]-66 pp. + [2]-66-[1]-31-96-69-[3] pp, Veau tabac de l'époque, dos à nerfs et fleuronné, tranches rouges, Chaque partie a sa page de titre propre. Ces deux volumes renferment les trois premières parties, en édition originale, soit les lettres 1 à 9, d'un ensemble en cinq parties et 12 lettres, adressées par l'auteur à un correspondant américain, sans doute fictif. Joseph-Adrien Lelarge de Lignac (1697-1762), abbé jésuite, puis oratorien, tente, sous l'anonymat, d'y réfuter Buffon et Condillac, à qui il reproche, par leur position matérialiste, de contredire la Bible et la Genèse. Les trois premières lettres ont été rédigées en collaboration avec son ami Réaumur, collègue académicien et ennemi de Buffon. Lelarge de Lignac, désigné par ses amis comme le défenseur de l'Église contre ses "ennemis" des Lumières, publia sa critique de Buffon très rapidement, à peine publiés les premiers volumes de la considérable Histoire naturelle, dont l'édition se prolongera jusqu'en 1804. Le savant français ne répliqua pas directement à cette attaque menée par Lignac et Réaumur. Il se contenta d'écrire à son ami Doussin, architecte : "Vous avez dû entendre parler d'une critique fort vive des premiers volumes de mon Histoire naturelle, critique que j'attribue à un moine de l'Oratoire, aidé d'un pédant de l'Académie, et à laquelle je suis dans l'intention de ne pas répondre, parce qu'elle ne m'a point affectée, et que d'ailleurs j'ai beaucoup plus d'indifférence qu'on ne suppose pour le succès de mes opinions" (Buffon, Oeuvres complètes. Nouvelle édition. T XIII, Correspondance I, p. 83 : Lettre XLVIII à Doussin, architecte, 27 juillet 1751). Ancien cachet ex-libris (monogramme couronné), cotes inscrites à l'encre sur les gardes blanches. Charnières, coins et coupes usés, coiffes arasées. Bon état intérieur.

First appearance of 3 importent paper in probability theory, serving as a preamble to Poissons's famous work published two years later, and with nearly the same title "Recherches sur la probabilité des jugements en matiere criminelle et en matiere civile" (1837). The paper offered introduces THE LAW OF LARGE NUMBERS (Loi universelle des Grandes nombres, pp. 478-79), a key concept in probability theory. Poisson states that all events of a moral as well as of a physical nature are subject to this universal law. His definition (in English translation) on p. 478 reads "Things of every kind obey a universal law that we may call the law of large numbers. Its essence is that if we observe a very large number of events of the same nature, which depend on constant causes and on causes that vary irregularly, sometimes in another, 1.e., not progressively in any determined sense, then almost constant proportions will be found among numbers" (p. 478 in the first memoir).

406 x 273 mm. (16 x 10 3/4"). Double column, 42 lines in a fine rounded early proto-gothic hand. Recto with a pleasing three-line red initial. âFormerly used in a binding and consequently a bit soiled and trimmed at the head with loss of the first line, perhaps 100 or so small wormholes in the margin (only a few causing trivial harm to the text), a faint grayish stain affecting a couple of words in the top 20 lines of one column on each side, but the entirety of the text completely clear and the stately leaf quite fresh and unusually well-preserved in general for a recovered specimen. This leaf comes from a very large copy of one of the major texts by one of the great popes of the early Middle Ages. Dealing (in part) with the central occurrence in the salvation of humanity, the text here treats of John 20:19-31, which tells of the risen Christ's appearance to the Apostles. Doubting Thomas insists on touching the Lord's wounds before he will be convinced of the Resurrection. Gregory tells his audience that Thomas was healed of unbelief, and so must they be, although they cannot see Jesus in the flesh as did Thomas. Written ca. 593, Pope Gregory's 40 homilies on the Gospels enjoyed enduring popularity throughout Medieval times, as they offered ordinary Christians practical guidance on applying the lessons of the Gospels to their own lives. Elected pope in 590, Gregory (ca. 540-604) was one of the most influential pontiffs in the history of the Church. In addition to revising liturgical worship, he wrote extensively on theology, offering homespun wisdom rather than esoteric debates. He was declared a saint immediately upon his death. The script here is regular, rounded, and very pleasing--almost soothing--to the eye. Moreover, the letters are so large (and there is so little significant damage to the leaf) that the text can be easily read from a considerable distance.

406 x 273 mm. (16 x 10 3/4"). Double column, 42 lines in a fine rounded early proto-gothic hand. With rubrics in red, one three-line initial "I," and A PANELLED 13-LINE INITIAL "F" (all of these on the very faded recto and, consequently, indistinct). Formerly used in a binding, with text on the recto unreadable, the verso with a narrow band of darkening along one edge (not obscuring text), edges very wormed (but 90 percent of the worming in the margin, with very little damage to the text); some obvious condition problems, but the large and beautiful script on one of the sides entirely legible and certainly very pleasing. This leaf comes from a very large copy of one of the major texts by one of the great popes of the early Middle Ages, and it is notable for the spaciousness and elegance of its script. The sermon here is based on the Gospel reading for Easter Sunday, John 20:1-9, which reports Mary Magdalene's discovery of the empty tomb and her running to tell the apostles what she had--and hadn't--found. Given the fact that the passage under discussion celebrates the most critical event in Christianity, the opening phrase ("Fractus longa molestia stomachus") is unexpected (who would have thought it appropriate to mention protracted gastrointestinal problems?) and probably more effective as a result. Gregory says he is so weakened that he had given up explaining the Gospel to his flock, but now he must resume. He recounts how Mary Magdalene told John and Peter about the empty tomb, how John arrived first but did not enter the sepulcher, and how Peter, the tardier one, did. Gregory then gives an allegorical interpretation of this episode: John, he says, represents the Synagogue, Peter the Church; the Jews were prior to the Christians, but they hesitated on the brink of belief in the Son of God, while the Christians entered into full belief.

The first memoir became the "Préambule" of the "Rechearches" and outlined Poisson's criticism of Laplace's approach to the probability judgements, the universal applicability of the law of large numbers, and some of the results based on the Ministry of Justice's statistics. Poisson's second memoir discussed his "Law of Large Numbers", with special attentuion to how it differed from bernoulli's theorem and how it was particularly well suited for applications to the moral sciences." (Lorraine Daston "Classical Possibility in the Emlightment", pp. 364-65)."In Recherches sur la probabilité des jugements en matière criminelle et en matière civile (1837" (Research on the Probability of Criminal and Civil Verdicts), an important investigation of probability, the Poisson distribution appears for the first and only time in his work. Poisson?s contributions to the law of large numbers (for independent random variables with a common distribution, the average value for a sample tends to the mean as sample size increases) also appeared therein." Encl. Britannica). - In fact the law appears here, two years before, in the offered paper." (Encl. Britannica).
