In den WarenkorbLarge 4to (299 x 353 mm). XII, (32) ff., 18 pp. Printed on vellum throughout. Greek type in imitation of Alexandrian uncials, with Roman type and a second Greek type for the introduction and notes. Contemporary English blue morocco over thick boards, unsigned but almost certainly by Charles Lewis, richly panelled and decorated i…n gilt, with wide roll-tooled borders to covers, spine richly gilt, blue morocco doublures with richly gilt borders and inlaid panels of watered yellow silk, watered yellow silk endpapers. All edges gilt. A magnificently produced vellum issue of Baber's facsimile of the Alexandrian Psalter, and one of only seventeen copies so printed, according to the list of subscribers. This is an especially desirable copy, preserved in a sumptuous contemporary English morocco binding and bearing the distinguished provenances of Syston Park, William Henry Smith, and Estelle Doheny. - The edition reproduces in letterpress the Psalms of the Codex Alexandrinus, the celebrated fifth-century Greek Bible manuscript now in the British Library, one of the oldest extant witnesses of the Greek scriptures. The type was specially designed to emulate the manuscript's Alexandrian uncials, translating the authority of one of Christianity's great codices into an ambitious exercise in early 19th-century scholarly and typographical exactitude. Baber, then Keeper of Printed Books at the British Museum, stands at the centre of the institution's early biblical scholarship. The present publication anticipates his later multi-volume edition of the Old Testament text of the Codex Alexandrinus and belongs to the moment when the Museum began to disseminate its greatest manuscript treasures through monumental printed surrogates. The typography is itself part of the book's significance. The Greek types, associated with the work of Joseph Jackson, were devised to imitate the ancient hand with unusual fidelity, making the volume both a landmark of learned facsimile production and a defining example of English display printing in the service of textual scholarship. - The final 18 pages gather variant readings of the Alexandrian manuscript against the Roman edition of the Vatican Septuagint of 1587, so that the publication unites visual facsimile and editorial scholarship with bibliographical grandeur. In copies such as the present one, printed on vellum and clothed in a luxury binding, that scholarly purpose is matched by extraordinary material presence. - A very fine copy. - 1) Sir John Hayford Thorold of Syston Park, with bookplate and monogram book-label. - 2) The Rt. Hon. William Henry Smith, with armorial bookplate. - 3) Estelle Doheny, with morocco book-label. - 4) European private collection. - Darlow/M. 4789. Reed & Johnson, Old English Letter Foundries, 315.

In den Warenkorb4to (160 x 220 mm). 182 ff. Ge'ez manuscript on vellum, 21 lines per page. With 25 full-page illustrations, hand-painted. Original full leather over heavy wooden boards, stamped in blind, with patterned cloth on inside covers. A Ge'ez manuscript Psalter from the government scriptorium of Haile Selassie, illustrated with twenty-f…ive hand-painted scenes. Copied on particularly fine vellum, this psalter comprises twenty prayers, canonical texts, and apocrypha, including a very good example of the so-called Hebraic Song of Songs (see Ludolf, Gleave). The harags at the beginning of the first page of text indicate its origin in the Ethiopian government scriptorium during the reign of Haile Selassie. - The manuscript opens with a prayer: "This Psalter is like a garden: it contains all flowers and gives seeds and brings blessing and drives out demons and attracts angels". The twenty-five illustrations, each in excellent condition, show various Biblical scenes, largely from the New Testament and often following the life of Jesus Christ. These include the birth of Jesus, John baptizing Jesus in the River Jordan, Jesus healing the sick and blind, the beheading of Peter, and finally the Madonna and Child, with the patron who commissioned the manuscript depicted below. - Spine professionally repaired, otherwise in excellent condition, with only minor age-related warping and yellowing to vellum. - Originally from the government scriptorium of Ethiopia. - EMIP 2281. Mandeville 8. Cf. Hiob Ludolf, Psalterium Davidis Aethiopice et Latine, 1701; H. C. Gleave, The Ethiopic Version of the Songs of Songs, critically edited (London, 1951).

In den WarenkorbSmall 4to (120 x 175 mm). 158 ff. Ge'ez manuscript on vellum. With 4 hand-painted, full-page illustrations and hand-painted headers throughout. Original full leather over heavy wooden boards, ruled and stamped in blind, with patterned cloth on inside covers. Ge'ez manuscript with four full-page illuminations, depicting the Virgi…n and Child, St George slaying the dragon, the Annunciation, and St Paul. The manuscript includes prayers and Biblical texts written in Ge'ez, the ancient liturgical language of the Orthodox Churches of Ethiopia and Eritrea. - The Ge'ez manuscript tradition is one of the oldest in the Christian world. With Christianity introduced to the region in the fourth century, the earliest attested Ge'ez Gospels are dated (with some debate) to the sixth century. It is in Ge'ez that the tradition of writing Christian holy books by hand in precious manuscripts has persisted the furthest into the modern age, long after it had been abandoned by most of the Christian world. - Covers rubbed; soiling throughout from use.

In den Warenkorb4to (222 x 270 mm). 170 pp. Title-page in English and Ge'ez, all other text in Ge'ez letterpress. Contemporary red leather boards with blind tooling to face and rear covers; tiny binder's label of L. M. Watkins, 47 St John's Square, tipped to front pastedown. Ge'ez Psalter, "a reprint from Ludolf's 1701 edition. Though an editio…n of Ludolf's text had been printed specially for introduction into Abyssinia, this Psalter, in an edition of 2000 copies, was one of the earliest books to circulate largely in that county" (Darlow/M.). Rare, perhaps even scarcer than the 1701 first edition, since this edition was meant to be used in the field and few copies survived. - A pencil note by a previous owner on reverse of the front free endpaper copies some information obtained from a letter of the Edinburgh bookseller Alan Grant, as follows: "The type is that used in Ludolf's 1661 Grammar - but not his later fount used in the 1701 Psalter. See J. J. Hall's Life and Correspondence of Henry Salt, 1837 p. 479. 'I have sent you the copies of the Psalms published in Ethiopic, for the Abyssinians, as specimens; four of them handsomely bound in red, and six plain. I have about two hundred of the last and about twenty of these in fine bindings to send to you when I can find an opportunity, which you will give away to those they will be of most use to". This is one of the copies bound in red. - Covers rubbed and scuffed; wear to all edges; loss in places to spine. Webbing on spine intact. Light foxing throughout. - Formerly in the collection of the physician Bent Juel-Jensen (1922-2006), sometime Medical Officer to the University of Oxford, with his small Amharic bookplate tipped to front pastedown. By tradition, Dr Juel-Jensen acquired this volume in 1976 from the bookseller Leo S. Olschki of Lucignano. - Darlow/Moule 3574.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 366 pp., [16], Arabic text within ruled borders, preface by Abdallah Al-Zakhir, cover lightly rubbed round corners, decorated gilt spine, red edges, marbled end papers, first page and pages 353-365 have been professionally restored, occasional spotting, otherwise copy in very good condition. From t…he translation of Abdallah ibn al-Fadl al Antaki, printed for the first time in Aleppo, then reprinted various times by Athanase IV (born Athanase Dabbas). "In 1733 in al-Shuwair, a town in the Lebanese mountains, a printing press was set up with the support of the Jesuits in the Greek Catholic monastery of Saint John the Baptist, which was the real "pilot workshop" of indigenous Arab typography. This was the main workplace of Abdallah az-Zahir (d. 1748), a Syrian Catholic who had left Aleppo because of differences with Atanasiyus ad-Dabbas and the Byzantine Orthodox Church and found refuge, together with other brothers of the faith, in al-Shuwair. The typographic style of the monastic printing press bears the unmistakable hallmark of az-Zahir. Instructed in the goldsmith's art by his father, he later taught himself additional arts such as engraving, painting and woodcarving. Using these skills, he drafted elements of book design, often evidently inspired by European originals. But az-Zahir's indisputably greatest contribution was that he supplied the Shuwair workshop with his own Arabic types and thereby gave the monastery its really valuable asset". (Dagmar Glass and Geoffrey Roper, 'The printing of Arabic books in the Arab world' in Middle Eastern Languages and the Print Revolution, Gutenberg Museum, Mainz, 2002, pp. 179-180) Bibliographic references: Nasrallah, 31; Louis Sheikho, 40-41; Silvestre de Sacy, 1842, I, n° 1346 and pages 412-414. #35975.

In den WarenkorbSmall 8vo (105 x 146 mm). 174 ff. Arabic manuscript on European laid paper. Neat vocalized naskh in brown ink, with rubrics and trefoils in red. Later mottled calf with gilt spine. A vivid witness to Melkite devotion in Ottoman Syria, marked by a rare bilingual title and the inclusion of Psalm 151. The Psalter opens with the Psa…lms of David, the scribe introducing the text in Arabic and adding a Latin heading of his own hand, "Liber Arabicus Psalmorum David", a concise statement of the manuscript's dual cultural horizon between Aleppo's Arabic Melkite tradition and the pull of Rome. - At the close of the Psalms the scribe adds the apocryphal Psalm 151, "outside the number", attributed to David's victory over Goliath, a text preserved in the Septuagint and Syriac yet only seldom encountered in Arabic manuscripts, thus underscoring the manuscript's rarity and the breadth of its textual witness. The volume proceeds to the complete cycle of the Ten Canticles in the Byzantine Arabic recension: the two songs of Moses, the songs of Hannah, Habakkuk, Isaiah, and Jonah, followed by the hymns of the Three Young Men in the Furnace, the second in a shortened form, and concluding with the Magnificat and the Benedictus, reflecting a liturgical sequence characteristic of Byzantine parish and monastic practice in Arabic. - A partly erased Latin ownership on the title-page, "Don pet' melichita alepino", fixes the milieu as the Melkite community of Aleppo and confirms local use; the bilingual habits of the scribe further point to the eighteenth century's Catholic currents within the Melkite world. - Combining Psalms, Canticles, the exceptional presence of Psalm 151, and explicit Aleppine Melkite provenance, the manuscript encapsulates the encounter of Byzantine liturgical continuity with Roman influence in an Arabic-speaking ecclesial setting. - Well preserved. - Ownership inscription in Latin script (partly cancelled) reads: "Don melichita alepino", i.e. Don [Name], a Melkite of Aleppo.

Ca. 17 (of 27) lines in a very fine large upright Coptic uncial, text partly indented "per cola et commata". Stored in custom-made half morocco case. A fragmentary leaf from a very early, unpublished Coptic Psalter, writ…ten in the Sahidic dialect of Upper Egypt about 150 years after it was first translated from Greek (see Budge, Nagel). The script here is a fine Coptic Uncial, derived from Greek Uncial, and showing its ultimate debt to older epigraphic letter forms in its monumental and rounded majuscules and absence of spacing between words. - The present fragment comprises more than eight verses from Psalm 85 (86 in the Masoretic tradition): "Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul . In the day of my trouble I cried to thee: for thou didst hear me . Thy mercy is great toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. O God, transgressors have risen up against me, and an assembly of violent men have sought my life . But thou, O Lord God, art compassionate and merciful". - Most probably produced for use in the White Monastery (or the Monastery of St. Shenouda), Deir el-Abiad, near Sohag, Egypt, a Coptic Orthodox monastery near the Upper Egyptian city of Sohag. It was founded by St. Pigol in 442 CE, and grew substantially in importance after his nephew St. Shenouda the Archimandrite (d. 466 CE) took over in 385 CE. A prolific writer, he launched a literacy campaign within the monastery, producing a large library and establishing the house as perhaps the most important in the Coptic Church. When the first European visitors reached the monastery, the library was housed in a room to the north of the central apse called the 'Secret Chamber', which could be entered only through a hidden passage. The hoard of more than 9,000 early Coptic leaves was discovered by G. Maspero in 1883, and most of it is now in Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, but parts are held in the Pierpont Morgan Library, Cambridge University Library and Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana. - Vellum wrinkled.

In den Warenkorb4to (180 x 222 mm). (8), 474, (2) pp. Printed in Arabic and Latin in two facing columns, bound in Arabic direction. With two woodcut coats of arms on title-page and final leaf, woodcut initial. Near-contemporary full limp vellum. First edition of this adaptation of the Psalms, set in Arabic-Latin parallel text. Printed in some 3…000 copies, most of which were used for a 1619 re-issue with only the title-page changed. Famous for the clarity and elegance of the typeface created by Savary de Brèves: the extensive vocalisation helped this handy quarto volume achieve immense popularity among oriental scholars throughout Europe. - Formerly it was assumed that the type design was based on specimens Savary had seen during his time as French envoy at Constantinople; today his probable model is believed to be a calligraphical manuscript from Qannubin, preserved in the Bibliotheca Vaticana. The cutting and founding of the types were done in Rome, in collaboration with Stefano Paolini, an experienced printer formerly of the Typographia Medicea. The Psalms' text is based on a manuscript Savary de Brèves had bought in Jerusalem (cf. Balagna, L'imprimerie arabe en occident, p. 55f.); as it occasionally departs from the Vulgate (as does the translation by the Maronites Sionita and Scialac), an extensive imprimatur was necessary. - Bellarmin's Arabic catechism and the Arabic-Latin Psalter would remain the only works to leave the Typographia Savariana in Rome; the types have survived and are now in the archives of the Imprimerie Nationale in Paris. - Some damage to upper corner of spine, also affecting roughly 2 cm into text block, and final two leaves which are present but chipped, with some loss to text (with professional restorations to binding and interior). - 1) With early ownership note on title-page reading "Aux Capucins de Luçon" (Vendée). 2) Galerie R.

In den Warenkorb8vo. 354, (14) pp., wanting final blank. Contemporary blindstamped brown calf. Rare Psalter from the printing office of the Melkite monastery of St. John the Baptist at al-Shuwayr in the Lebanese Kisrawan mountains, operative between 1734 and 1899, during which time it produced in all 69 Arabic books, including re-editions (cf.…Silvestre de Sacy I, pp. 412-414; Middle Eastern Languages and the Print Revolution. A Cross-Cultural Encounter, Westhofen 2002, pp. 179-181). Nasrallah counts 15 editions of the Psalter alone, the last (produced in 1899, the only as-Shuwayr Psalter in the Aboussouan collection) constituting the swan-song of that important press. "Le Psautier a longtemps été le livre classique unique des écoles d'Orient. Cela nous explique pourquoi il fut si souvent édité" (Nasrallah, p. 38). - Binding a little rubbed; some light browning and brownstaining (mainly confined to margins). A good copy. - Not in Nasrallah.

In den Warenkorb4to. (8), 474, (8) pp. Title page printed in red and black. Contemporary vellum with ms. title to spine. Edges sprinkled in red. Second edition of Savary's Arabic Psalter; more precisely, a re-issue of the 1614 original edition, with only the title changed and the remaining pages re-used from the first. Prepared by two Maronite…scholars, Nasrallah Salaq al-'Aquri, better known as Victorius Scialac Accurensis, and Gabriel Sionita. "Scialac was one of the first Oriental Christian scholars who by his publications furthered the causes of both European Orientalism and Oriental Christianity. He taught Arabic and Syriac in the Roman University from 1610 to 1631" (Smitskamp, p. 161). The publication is famous for the clarity and elegance of its typeface created by Savary de Brèves: the extensive vocalisation helped this handy quarto volume achieve immense popularity among oriental scholars throughout Europe. Formerly it was assumed that the type design was based on specimens Savary had seen during his time as French envoy at Constantinople; today his probable model is believed to be a calligraphical manuscript from Qannubin, preserved in the Bibliotheca Vaticana. The cutting and founding of the types were done in Rome, in collaboration with Stefano Paolini, an experienced printer formerly of the Typographia Medicea. The Psalms' text is based on a manuscript Savary de Brèves had bought in Jerusalem (cf. Balagna, L'imprimerie arabe en occident, p. 55f.); as it occasionally departs from the Vulgate (as does the translation by the Maronites Sionita and Scialac), an extensive imprimatur was necessary. - The Arabic-Latin Psalter (1614/19) and Bellarmin's Arabic catechism (1613) would remain the only works to leave the Typographia Savariana in Rome; the types have survived and are now in the archives of the Imprimerie Nationale in Paris. - Occasional paper flaws professionally restored; insignificant brownstaining in places. A good copy. - Darlow/Moule 1643. Schnurrer 324 (note) & p. 505. Ebert 18088 (note). Brunet IV, 921 (note). STC 108. Cf. Smitskamp 33. Fück 56.
