2 works in 3 and 4 volumes, bound as 1. Rare third(?) edition, in the original German, of a classic account of Biblical travels, the Itinerarium sacrae scripturae, written by the Hannover (in Lower Saxony) Lutheran pastor and theologian Heinrich Bünting (1545-1606), first published by Jakob Lucius the elder at Helmstedt in Lower Saxony in 1581, with the third volume, De monetis et mensuris sacrae scripturae, added in 1582. It is here bound with the first edition of Bünting's complementary Chronica, a chronical of his native region made to accompany the present third edition of his Itinerarium. These editions therefore brought Bünting's work largely to its definitive form. Both proved extremely popular, and most later editions were produced as matching sets of the Itinerarium and Chronica, which appeared in almost 80 editions (in seven languages) into the 18th century. "However much a work of the study, this book [the Itinerarium] could be easily taken and read as a travel book. Bünting, although he had never actually visited Palestine, produced an original work by recasting sacred scripture into a Reissbuch" (Noonan); "the most complete summary of the knowledge of that day concerning the geography of the biblical events" (Van der Heijden, p. 55). The Chronica, matching in format and produced by the same printer and publisher at the same time, contains a wealth of historical, military, heraldic and genealogical information, beautifully illustrated with finely detailed woodcuts, with a special emphasis on the regions around Braunschweig and Lüneburg in Lower Saxony.The contemporary binding of the present copy is spectacular and remarkable, almost certainly produced in Saxony and possibly by Nikolaus Müller in Wittenberg, where Bünting studied. It gives the date of the binding itself (the year after publication), the initials of the owner who commissioned it, and shows a rare pair of dated panel stamps (portraits of Luther and Melanchthon, both 1556), and one of the three rolls is dated 1563. The "1581" and "1582" versions of the Itinerarium published in Helmsted also seem likely to be issues of a single edition. If so the present Itinerarium is the third edition, after 1581/82 Helmsted and 1583 Wolfenbüttel.With the unidentified initials AP of the first owner on the 1586 binding, a 1681 owner's inscription, "H. de Veltheim permuta Dn. J Haltmeier Ao 1681", perhaps meaning the late minister of the church Johannes Haltmeier (1590-1664) of Markt Alvensleben in Sachsen-Anhalt. Also with an early drawing in the margin of the Chronica L1. The binding shows some minor abrasions, mostly on the back board, but the panel stamps and tooling are generally well-preserved. A rare and important set of Bünting's Itinerarium, the first edition to be accompanied by the Chronica, together in contemporary (1586), richly blind-tooled pigskin with Luther and Melanchthon panel stamps (1556).l Ad 1: BMC STC German, p. 164; H.A.M. van der Heijden, "Heinrich Bünting's Itinerarium ", in: Quaerendo, 28 (1998), pp. 49-71, no. 7 (3 copies); Index Aureliensis 5 (1964); USTC 668397 (3 copies, incl. 1 in Van der Heijden); VD 16, ZV2668 (same 3 copies as USTC); cf.

4 parts in 1 volume. Rare eighth(?) edition of the Dutch translation of a work on Biblical travels, written by the German Protestant pastor and theologian Heinrich Bünting (1545-1606), first published in German in 1581 and translated by Matthias Hasaert (1578?-1663). The work proved extremely popular and appeared in almost 80 editions up to the 18th century. "However much a work of the study, this book could be easily taken and read as a travel book. Bünting, although he had never actually visited Palestine, produced an original work by recasting Sacred Scripture into a Reissbuch" (Noonan). The work is divided into four parts. The first deals with the travels from the Old Testament, starting with a description and a woodcut plan of Jerusalem. Two other woodcut folding plates show the Temple of Solomon and the route the Jews took from Egypt to the Holy Land. The second part explains the Biblical currencies and units of measurement. The third part resembles the first, but deals with the journeys from the New Testament. The work closes with a short theological treatise on the four Evangelists. With an owner's inscription on flyleaf. Browned throughout, some marginal smudges, some occasional small spots and one plate slightly torn along the fold. Binding somewhat soiled, spine restored.
