3 parts in 1 volume. The first Dutch "States Bible" to be printed in roman type, printed by the famous Leiden printers, publishers and booksellers Elzevier. The present copy in the splendid binding was made for a high official within the Dutch Republic, Jeremias de Bont. His family's coat-of-arms can be found on the gauffered, painted, and gilt fore edge and Jeremias' name is engraved in the inside of the top silver clasp (the bottom one shows a date "Anno 1665"). The "States Bible" is the first officially authorized translation of the Bible into Dutch (the "Statenvertaling"), commissioned during the Synod of Dordrecht (1618-1619). The States General of the United Provinces of the Netherlands were asked to pay for it, hence its name. The translation was completed in 1635 and approved, authorized and published in 1637 in Leiden. For the present 1663 edition, the Elzeviers followed the text of the 1657 revised and corrected edition. In a sense, it could be seen as a revolutionary publication, even though it still is an authorised version of the Bible; the present copy contains the live signature of a Leiden city clerk - as usual - to indicate its authorization. The decision to set the main text in roman type rather than the conventional gothic textura, was unprecedented in such publications and not only contributed to the spread of roman type in Dutch-language printed matter generally (works in Latin were often set in roman more than a century earlier), but also contributed to the prolonged popularity of the authorised translation itself and of the present edition.The present copy is illustrated with 6 double-page maps published by Nicolaes Visscher; this series includes 5 maps of Jerusalem and the Holy Land published ca. 1657 and 1 world map published ca. 1663 (as usual) all in their first state.Jeremias de Bont (?-1687) was 17th-century politician in the Dutch Republic. He was a member of the "Vroedschap van Gorinchem" (in/since 1674, city council of Gorinchem, in the present-day province of South Holland), burgomaster in Gorinchem in 1679 and 1681-1683, and member of the Dutch "Raad van State" (Council of State) of Holland on behalf of the city of Gorinchem.We thank dr. J. Storm van Leeuwen for his in-depth analysis of the present binding. Through his findings we know that the present binding is contemporary to the work (1663) and judging by the style of the decorations possibly produced by a German binder in the Netherlands (Amsterdam or The Hague). In his research, Storm van Leeuwen came across 3 other bindings in the same style and all produced around the 1660s. These bindings cannot be ascribed to a hitherto known 17th-century Dutch bindery, thus - for ease of reference - Storm van Leeuwen named the bindery after the present binding: "De-Bont Binderij".With the signature of J. van der Werve, a city clerk, below the coat of arms of the city of Leiden on the verso of the first title-page, below the privileges. The binding shows slight signs of wear, browned and foxed throughout, the edges are slightly dust-soiled but still showing the highly detailed decorations. Without the engraved title-page (as usual). Otherwise in good condition, a splendidly bound copy for Jeremias de Bont of the famous Elzevier Dutch States Bible.l Bijbel tentoonstelling statenvertaling, Amsterdam 1937, 105; Darlow & Moule II, 3321; Delaveau & Hillard, Bibles imprimées, 1200; Le Long, Boekzaal der Nederduytsche Bybel, p. 821; STCN 840822693; Willems 884; for the maps: Poortman & Augusteijn, Kaarten in Bijbels, 27-pp. 179-185; for Jeremias de Bont and his positions within Gorinchem: C. van Zomeren, Beschryvinge der stadt van Gorinchem en landen van Arkel (Gorinchem, Teunis Horneer, 1755); for the De Bont family: De Nederlandsche Leeuw 40 (1992) cols, 121-122 "Bondt (de)?".

3 parts in 1 volume. Very rare re-issue of the scarce States Translation of the Old and New Testament and also the psalmbook published at Utrecht by 'de Compagnie' booksellers in 1741. Unlike the first issue, the Bible is here enlarged with a series of 42 unsigned engraved plates from an unidentified source, all with 3- or 4-line captions (apparently not the series after the illustrations of Jan Luyken, also used by the same publisher). With only the undated engraved general title-page and no separate title-page for the Old Testament, but with separate title-pages for the New Testament and the psalms. With only a few minor spots. Binding also in very good condition, spine slightly worn. In very good condition.l Not in: Darlow & Moule; NCC; STCN; WorldCat; cf.

2 volumes bound as 1. Extraordinary copy of the first edition, published by Moretus (Moerentorf) & Van Keerberghen, of the famous Moerentorf Bible in the vernacular Dutch language, printed in 1599, especially interesting for its vivid contemporary hand-colouring and for its richly blind-tooled contemporary binding. The authoritative Moerentorf Bible or Moretus Bible, was a revision of the 1548 Louvain Bible in Dutch, but corrected based on the improved Latin Vulgate of 1592 published by the authority of Pope Clement VIII. The Moerentorf Bible met extraordinary success and "became the standard Bible for Dutch Roman Catholics" (Darlow & Moule) for almost three centuries, being repeatedly reprinted as the official Dutch translation of the Vulgate in the Low Countries.Jan Moerentorf, better known as Jan I Moretus, published this revised Dutch translation of the Old and New Testament together in 1599 with the title Biblia sacra. The first woodcut of the Old Testament, in Genesis, is signed "P.B" by Peter van der Borcht, a Flemish painter, draughtsman and etcher who was full-time assistant to Christopher Plantin and illustrated many of his liturgical works. The other woodcut illustrations in the Old Testament are copied from the engraved print series of the German painter and printmaker Hans Sebald Beham (1500-1550), who was especially known for his very small engravings. The present edition appeared in two issues, one with the imprint of Moretus alone and the present one with the imprint of both Moretus and Van Keerberghen. Poortman shows a completely different first woodcut illustration (not signed P.B.) for the Moretus version, says its other illustrations are printed from a different series of blocks, differing in detail and rendering the scenes in mirror image, and also notes differences in the orthography. With the bookplate (on the front paste-down) and library stamp (on a free endleaf, the back of the title-page, and the first text page) of Wetenschappelijke Bibliotheek Eindhoven, the former monastic library of the Augustinian monastery in Eindhoven and one of the most important scholarly theological libraries of the Netherlands. Also with one contemporary annotation on Pp1 of the Old Testament.Binding slightly worn around the edges, especially around the spine, edges a little dust-soiled and some damage to the back board where the leather fastenings were originally attached to the boards with brass pins. Minor marginal stains, spots and dust-soiling, mostly in the first part, and a few creases throughout the book, a small tear in the right lower corner of Oo6 in the Old Testament (not affecting the text), a larger tear (partly restored) and restoration in the foot margin in L6 of the Old Testament. The colouring of the initials and woodcuts has slightly browned the paper. Overall, however, the Bible is in good condition. A beautiful copy of one of the most important Dutch Bibles ever published, here in a richly blind-tooled contemporary binding and complete with all the illustrations coloured by a contemporary hand.l Belgica typographica 1541-1600, 473 & 7886; Biblia Sacra 1599.B.dut.JM1.A; Bibliotheca Catholica Neerlandica impressa 4529; BM STC Dutch, p. 24; Darlow & Moule 3300; Dirk Imhof, Jan Moretus and the continuation of the Plantin press (1589-1610), B-36B; Pettegree, Netherlandish Books 3891; Poortman, Bijbel en prent I, and pp. 131-133, 217; STCV 12923651; USTC 402496; not in Adams.

The woodcuts in the Old Testament after a series by Hans Sebald Beham, except for the first by Peter van der Borcht, signed "P.B."; those in the New Testament are by an unidentified artist.

2 volumes. Edition by Nicolas Goetzee of the Dutch Staten Bijbel (States' Bible, the authorized translation first published in 1637), newly illustrated with 12 folding double-page maps, each map accompanied by a folding double-page leaf with explanatory text, and extra illustrated with the large series of Bible scenes by Jan Luyken, generally known as "Icones Biblicae" and originally published without a letterpress title or text by Pieter Mortier in 1708. The series consisted of 62 large folio prints, including the title-print not included by Goetzee. The series is here in second state with the address of P. Mortier replaced by J. Covens & Mortier.

3 volumes bound as 2, with the prints and maps bound in. The famous and magnificent 1663 Elsevier edition of the 1637 authorized Dutch States translation of the Bible (Old and New Testament plus the Apocrypha), the only early edition of the Dutch States translation with the text in roman type instead of the traditional textura gothic. With Picart's folio print-Bible, Figures de la Bible (1720), the most sumptuous pictorial bible published in the Netherlands, here in the rare first edition, published by the artist himself, and the series of 6 maps and plans by Nicolaas I Visscher (1618-1679). The prints and maps are inserted in the relevant places in the Old Testament, New Testament and Apocrypha, with the New Testament and Apocrypha bound together to make the second volume. The whole is most luxuriously and splendidly produced, and bound by the so-called "stag bindery", active in Rotterdam at least 1693-1743, "the most important eighteenth-century bindery in Rotterdam and . one of the most distinguished Dutch workshops in the first half of that century" (Storm van Leeuwen, IIA, p. 432). A truly unique piece, combining the best of all aspects of Dutch book production, Elzevier's printing (excellent presswork), Picart's engravings and a binding by a Rotterdam workshop undoubtedly the equal of Magnus.Storm van Leeuwen notes that the book comes from the library of the great Dutch book collector Hendrik Adriaan vander Marck (ca. 1667-1726), though we do not find it in the 1727 auction catalogue of his library. It descended to the Tjeenk Willink collection. In very good condition, with some of the inserted prints and maps slightly browned and an occasional minor marginal defect. The bindings with a few minor scratches, a few scuffs on the board edges and the spines slightly worn, but still very good, most of the tooling fine.

Keur Bible of 1702 in the States General version, the standard Bible of the Dutch Reformed Church from 1637 onwards. The Bibles printed by Keur were renowned for their accuracy of the text and their fine printing, and are known by the name of the publisher as Keur Bible. According to Poortman & Augusteijn, the maps in our copy belong to a series of plates drawn for the Keur family by Daniël Stoopendaal.

They belong to the larger of two series by Daniël Stoopendaal, first published in 1702 and revised in the plates for the present Bible. They were explicitly made for the Keur Bibles with, for example, Bible scenes (rather than figures from classical mythology) decorating the world map. The world map shows two hemispheres, a copernican solar system in the upper and a ptolemaic in the lower smaller circle. The four continents are symbolically represented in the four corners. Some of the maps with some small tear along the folds and lacking one engraved plate; hinges damaged at the ends; generally in good condition.l Darlow & Moule 3337; Poortman & Augusteijn, pp. 193-203 (G II, 2nd state, maps 1-6); Poortman, Bijbel en prent, pp. 172-176.

3 parts in 1 volume. Extra-illustrated large folio edition of the Dutch Statenbijbel (States Bible) with 6 maps and 336 illustrations hand-coloured, the translation officially authorized by the Dutch Reformed Church and published with a privilege from the States General of the Dutch Republic. The 1619 Synod of Dordrecht established a committee to prepare the new translation, and leading Dutch scholars worked on it for nearly twenty years before Paulus Aertsz. van Ravesteyn (ca. 1586-1655) published the first edition in 1637. The 6 maps and the engraved illustrations were produced to be inserted into Van Ravesteyn's folio editions. The series of 336 illustrations by Claes Jansz. Visscher with eight to one leaf, are engraved by Cornelis Danckerts. With some browning, but still generally in good condition and with large margins. The binding has been rebacked, as noted, and the "sharkskin" on the boards has some cracks and wear, but the silver furnishings and gauffered edges are well-preserved. A stunning, large States Bible with 6 maps and 336 illustrations coloured by an early hand with extensive gold.l Poortman, Bijbel en prent I, p. 233 (cf. pp. 147, 151); cf.

Adolph Visscher's Dutch translation of the Luther Bible in period binding. In 1648 Adolph Visscher of the Lutheran Church in Amsterdam revised a previous Mennonite translation of Luther's German Bible. This became the standard Bible or "State Bible" (Statenbijbel) of Dutch Lutherans. This 1702 printing is a revision of Visscher's Bible translation, which was in use, occasionally revised, until 1951. Illustrated throughout with engravings by Romeyn de Hooghe of the Rubens School, the engravings represent some of the most significant for the Dutch book illustrator. This suite of illustrations was bound in a number of different translations and editions of the Bible during this period. Progress in the knowledge of biblical languages as well as the development of biblical refutation increased the demand for new versions of the Dutch Bible In fact, a Keur translation of the "States Bible" appeared this same year. This is a historical state of Visscher's Dutch "States translation," also known as the Lindenberg edition, which was in fact a universally accepted Protestant Bible, this volume maintaining the four original maps, some of the finest to appear in 18th century bibles.

3 parts in 1 volume. Extra-illustrated and hand-coloured large folio edition of the Dutch Statenbijbel (States Bible), the translation officially authorized by the Dutch Reformed Church and published with a privilege from the States General of the Dutch Republic. The 1619 Synod of Dordrecht established a committee to prepare the new translation, and leading Dutch scholars worked on it for nearly twenty years before Paulus Aertsz. van Ravesteyn (ca. 1586-1655) published the first edition in 1637. The 6 maps and the 96 engraved illustrations were produced for insertion in folio editions of the States Bible, but in Van Ravesteyn's 1657 edition maps 2-6 by Nicolaas Visser I were originally accompanied by an older world map by his father Claes Jansz. Visser. The younger Visser's present new world map replaced it ca. 1663. De Wit's series of illustrations seems to be quite rare.With owner's inscriptions. The tattered margins of the half-title and title-page were reinforced and extended with slips of paper at an early date, there are tears (repaired) into two maps and one text leaf, and other leaves have marginal defects, some repaired. The paper shows some browning and foxing. Still generally in good condition and with large margins. The binding is scuffed but structurally sound and most of the tooling remains clear. A stunning, large States Bible with 6 maps, 96 illustrations and many decorations and initials coloured by a contemporary hand with extensive gold.l Poortman, Bijbel en prent I, p. 233 (cf. pp. 147, 151); cf. Darlow & Moule 3315; for the maps: Poortman & Augusteijn 27.1-6; for the prints: Poortman, Bijbel en prent 30.A.3. Later (ca. 1800?) blind-tooled calf, sewn on 7 supports, 3 cut flush with the bookblock, each board with a small central flower in a double frame (with corner diagonals) made with 2 rolls, and another flower inside each corner of the inner frame, 2 pair of brass fastenings. Modern (ca. 1900?) endpapers. With an integral engraved general title-page (architectural portico with a book above, illuminated by the sun, the crowned arms of the States General below, and a large biblical scene at the foot: Elijah and the ravens, alluding to Van Ravesteyn's name), 2 letterpress title-pages for the New Testament and Apocrypha, each with Van Ravesteyn's woodcut device (Elijah and the ravens), a divisional title for the Prophets, 6 double-page engraved maps by Nicolaas Visscher I, including a world map and a plan of Jerusalem, and 96 Bible illustrations (7 x 8.5 cm: 64 for the Old Testament and 32 for the New Testament) published by Frederick de Wit (engraved by Cornelis Danckerts after Matthäus Merian?) on 6 double-page plates (plate size 28.5 x 38 cm with 16 illustrations per plate). Further with 9 woodcut tailpieces (one at the end with a different Van Ravesteyn device inserted in the middle) plus dozens of repeats, about 50 woodcut decorated initials (at least 8 series, the 36 mm series opening most books of the Bible having 2 different blocks for at least some letters) plus more than a hundred repeats. Set in textura types with incidental roman. The engraved title-page, devices on the letterpress title-pages, maps, illustrations, and many of the woodcut decorations and initials (including all those on the back of the maps) coloured by a contemporary hand with extensive use of gold.

3 parts in 2 volumes. Beautifully illustrated large folio Dutch States Bible (Statenbijbel) with 6 six maps, including a world map, and a complete set of the striking illustrations drawn and engraved by Bernard Picart and others. The maps belong to the larger of two series by Daniël Stoopendaal and were explicitly made for the Keur Bibles with, for example, Bible scenes (rather than figures from classical mythology) decorating the world map. With the armorial bookplate of Hendrik Gerardsz. van Couwenhoven (1711-1792) and a short handwritten genealogy of Couwenhoven's family, from Couwenhoven's marriage in 1738 to the birth of this last child in 1766. The binding appears to date from the middle quarters of the 18th century, so it may have been bound and presented for the occasion of the 1738 wedding. In very good condition. The binding is slightly worn at the joints, the headcap of volume 1 is damaged and there are a few other minor surface imperfections, but it remains generally in very good condition.l Darlow & Moule 3337; for the maps: Poortman & Augusteijn, pp. 196-203 (G II, 2nd state, maps 1-6); for the prints: Poortman, Bijbel en prent II, pp. 140-145.

Mulder, after G. Hoet, B. Picart, A. Houbraken and others. Pages: [20], 302; [2], 134, [12], 164, [2], 66 ll.

"Tileman van der Horst and Jan Schenk produced the Theatrum Machinarium Univesale, one of the most celebrated works on the construction of all those elements so necessary to keeping life dry in Amsterdam (the place of the book?s publication). It was perhaps the most important work then produced on dikes, sluices, dams, weirs, canals and swing-bridges, the very elements of existence in Holland. Jan Schenck was the engraver of this work, which may also be the most accurate and the most sumptuously illustrated book of its type in Holland in the 18th century - the technical aspects of the rendering was just superb." - Brunet V,1082 - Graesse VII, 258.

Beautifully bound convolute with the Old and New Testament and a psalmbook for use in the Dutch Reformed Church, including the sheet music for playing and singing the different psalms. Although the three different biblical and religious works were not published at the same time, namely in 1870 and 1884, they were all published by the so-called Nederlandsche Bijbel-Compagnie, which was a joint between the Amsterdam Bible printer Brandt and a Haarlem Bible printer, namely John Enschedé. This beautifully bound copy is a neat example of one of these Bible publications of the Nederlandsche Bijbel-Compagnie.Binding a little worn (especially around the spine, edges and cornerpieces) the rings with some light wear, paper edges a little soiled, some soiling from the silver-plating on the endpapers.

gehouden tot Dordrecht in de Jaren 1618 ende 1619. . Te Leyden: De W. van C. Boutesteyn 1715. Thick sm. 4to. Orig. full blind-embossed calf with orig. brass clasps and corner protectors over heavy bevelled wooden boards. Comprising engrv. illust title-page and text in a black gothic type printed in double columns. Complete with the Apocryphe at end. NOTE: The States-General Staten Generael instructed the Synod of Dordrecht with the translation of the Bible into the Dutch language at a special meeting in 1618. Just as the 'Luther Bible' as well as the 'King James Bible' had a major influence on both the literature and art of both Germany and England so the 'Statenbijbel' as this became known had a major effect on the Dutch poets writers and culture in Holland with artists such as Rembrandt being inspired by biblical motives. A fine example of early Dutch binding.

This task was completed in 1637 and a contemp. print of the occasion is loosely inserted with the Bible.

A fine example of early Dutch binding albeit with some restoration.
