"Presented to Joseph Allen Galbaith on the occasion of his marriage with Hannah Maria Bredin in the Collegiate Church of St Nicholas Galway on the sixteenth day of July 1850 fifty A.D. by his sincere friend Samuel Haughton". ** Galbraith, Joseph Allen (29 November 1818 20 October 1890), professor of experimental philosophy and proponent of home rule, was born November 1818 in Dublin, the son of Richard Galbraith, a merchant and Scottish presbyterian, and his wife Rebecca. His father died in the 1820s, after which he largely supported himself. Scientific researches into barometric pressure, geology, and the mathematics of pendulum-motion with respect of the rotation of the earth, published in the RIA Proceedings, succeeded his appointment as Erasmus Smith's professor of natural and experimental philosophy in May 1854. Together with his great friend, Samuel Haughton (qv), he had previously initiated a hugely popular series of manuals on aspects of mathematics and physics to intermediate and undergraduate level. These were so concise and well structured as to be recommended as textbooks for English schools and colleges by the privy council. They did not go out of print until the 1900s and helped to end Galbraith's financial insecurity. During the Crimean war (18536) both friends also made a great reputation tutoring numerous students for the difficult army artillery and engineering exams. He became grand chaplain of the grand lodge of freemasons in the 1850s and worked as treasurer on the management committee of the masonic girls school in Donnybrook." - See Dictionary of Irish Biography. **** "Edgar Galbraith (16 June 1853 16 June 1899) - his son. Was an Irish international rugby union player. Born in Dublin, Galbraith was a forward with Dublin University Football Club and gained his solitary Ireland cap in the team's first ever international, against England at The Oval in 1875." - See List of Ireland national rugby union players ***** Richard Galbraith (6 Jun 1852 - 7 Dec 1888) - His son - He played for the Ireland national rugby union team. His first international test match was against England on the 15 February 1875. His last test match was against England on 5 February 1877." - See List of Ireland national rugby union players.…

128 x 87 mm. (5 x 3 1/2"). Two volumes. LOVELY CONTEMPORARY RED MOROCCO, GILT, covers with large central azured arabesque surrounded by curling vines with azured leaves, smooth spines with similar vines, head and foot of spines with egg-and-dart roll similar to one used by Claude de Picques, second volume with faint blind lettering to spine, all edges gilt (perhaps with some minor early restorations, but, if so, then done with such care as to preclude certainty). Housed in modern suede-lined calf-backed clamshell boxes with magnetic closures. Printer's device on titles and final page, decorative initials and headpieces. Front pastedown of volume I with ex-libris of Georgios Arvanitidis. Renouard 171:1; Schreiber 239; Darlow & Moule 4633; Adams, B-1670. See: Verron, "Les Reliures de l'Entrée de Charles IX à Paris (1572) . . . réalisées par Claude Picques" in Bulletin du Bibliophile, 2014 no. 2, pp. 282-98. Just a touch of rubbing to extremities, front hinge of second volume open (but everything quite tight), text with occasional mild browning, small spots, trivial smudges, or tiny worm trails, but A BEAUTIFUL COPY, clean and fresh internally, and the bindings tight and lustrous, with very bright gilt, With exceptional visual appeal, these two precious volumes, shining with gilt and containing the Greek New Testament from the renowned Estienne family of printers, are of special interest because of their typography, their bindings, and their provenance. With the expressed goal of printing Greek texts from manuscripts in the royal library at Fontainebleau, François I established the post of royal printer in Greek in 1539, appointed Robert Estienne I (1503-59) to the position in 1542, and commissioned the renowned Claude Garamond to cut a new Greek font for this project. To design the type, the King called on his own celebrated calligrapher, Angelo Vergecio, who produced, in collaboration with Garamond, three different sizes of what came to be called the Royal Types or "grecs du roi." According to Schreiber, "These cursive Greek types are universally acknowledged as the finest ever cut." In 1548 and 1549 Robert Estienne issued the press' first Greek Testament (known as the "O mirificam" edition for the opening of the dedication to the king) in 16mo, or "pocket," format, using the smaller font of Garamond's "grecs du roi." In 1550, Robert, a Protestant, moved to Geneva, while his son Robert II (1533-70), a Catholic, remained in Paris and took over as the royal printer in Greek. Our 1568 Testament--the only one issued by the son--is a reprinting of the "O mirificam" edition, but expanded with the critical apparatus from the 1550 folio edition issued by the father. Schreiber notes that our edition is interesting from a typographical point of view, as it contains an even more minute version of the already small grecs du roi type for the Table of Chapters. The exceptionally pretty volumes are done in the style of royal binder Claude Picques (fl. 1539-78), and employ a decorative roll very similar to one that appears on the spine of the vellum bindings Picques did for "L'Entrée de Charles IX à Paris" (1572). Our volumes once graced the library of Constantinople collector Georgios Arvanitidis (1876-1953), whose library included a number of Estienne Greek editions. They were later in the distinguished library of Frederick B. Adams (1910-2001), director of the Pierpont Morgan Library from 1948-69 and then president of the prestigious Association Internationale de Bibliophilie from 1974-83. And they were featured in the celebrated 1929 Gumuchian catalogue of 398 historically exceptional bindings as item #71.…

422 x 275 mm. (16 5/8 x 11"). 30 p.l., [1] leaf (section title), 234, [2] (section title), 235-604, [2] (section title), 605-908, [2] (section title), 909-1387, [1] pp.; 4 p.l., 300, [4], 301-666 pp. STATELY CONTEMPORARY CALF, INTRICATELY GILT IN THE FANFARE STYLE, over bevelled wooden boards, covers with strapwork frame containing lilies and floral garlands, central panel with strapwork rows of floral crosses, the spaces between with floral sprays emerging from urns, very expertly rebacked preserving original backstrip, raised bands, spine compartments with flowers-and-pomegranate centerpieces, floral cornerpieces, gilt lettering, two decorative brass clasps, catch plates, and original straps, turn-ins with lattices and floral ornaments, marbled endpapers, edges gilt and delicately gauffered. Five section titles with engraved vignettes. With ink presentation inscription celebrating the baptism of Claës Georg Listromer on 20th November 1604, and expressing the hope the Book will bring him wisdom as he grows, signed by Claës Lindman, dated 17th September 1605. A 20th century Swedish inscription below tracing the book's descent through generations of the Listromer family into the 1920s. Darlow and Moule 8821, 8826. Slight variations in color of the leather, Ffff8 with lower corner torn away (not affecting engraving), occasional faint offsetting, but AN EXTREMELY CLEAN, FRESH COPY in a binding bright with gilt. This impressively bound Swedish Bible was a baptism gift that clearly would have outweighed its recipient, as Swedish law at the time required an infant be baptized within the first eight days of life. Although hardly practical for personal devotion and study, the majestic tome was a treasured heirloom passed down in the same family for 200 years. The beautiful fanfare style seen here emerged in France in the 16th century, but remained very popular in Northern Europe into the 18th century, particularly for large "lectern" Bibles like the present item. The text here is an extensively annotated edition of the 1618 Gustave II Adolf Bible, prepared by a father and son, both named Johannes Gezelius, who served successively as Bishop of Åbo. The New Testament was first printed in that city in 1711-13, the Old Testament in Stockholm in 1724-28. In our copy, the New Testament is a 1752 reprinting. …

460 x 295 mm. (18 1/4 x 11 1/2"). 17 p.l., 11, [48], 2, [2], 3-8, [3], 9-190, [2], 191-740 pp.; 512 pp.; 2, [2], 3-190, [2], 191-480, [18] pp. Three parts bound in one volume. STRIKING CONTEMPORARY SMOOTH CALF, LAVISHLY GILT in the entrelac style, covers with frame and compartments formed by gilt-ruled strapwork and filled with floral designs and lace-like ornaments of massed volutes and small tools, raised bands, spine compartments with central bouquet of pomegranate and flowers, with massed floral tools on either side, gilt lettering, brass clasps featuring images of King David and St. Paul, gilt-tooled turn-ins, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt and gauffered with pomegranates and flowers (older repair to front joint alongside top compartment). Extra engraved title page, woodcut headpieces and historiated initials, 47 engraved plates, comprised of: copperplate portraits of Luther and 11 Electors; 11 section titles, each with 11 vignettes; nine full-page engraved depictions of Moses, the Prophets, and the Evangelists; seven full-page plates engraved with 12 vignettes, six double-page maps, and two double-page engravings. Front pastedown with ornate heart-shaped bookplate of Adam Melchior Dæumer dated 1784. âTwo-inch crack to head of rear joint, a bit of rubbing to joints and extremities, a handful of quite minor dark spots to boards, isolated trivial smudges or stains internally, other insignificant imperfections, but still a fine specimen--THE CONTENTS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN, BRIGHT, AND FRESH, and the remarkable binding entirely solid and bright with gilt. This is an especially pleasing copy of the last and most extensive edition of the very popular and sumptuously illustrated Weimar Electors' Bible, offered here in an impressive contemporary binding. Known as the "Kurfürstenbibel" because of its portraits of the Electoral Princes (called "Kurfürsten" in German), it was originally prepared for Ernst I, Duke of Saxe-Gotha and Altenburg, as a celebration of Martin Luther's Bible translation. Editions were issued by the Endters, one of the prominent German printing families, beginning in 1641. In addition to portraits of Luther and the Protestant princes of Germany, the present edition contains the maps, views, and illustrated half-titles by Jacob van Sandrart and others, first used in the edition of 1686. Our copy contains four maps and views not found in other copies of this edition (showing the eastern Mediterranean and Palestine) as well as both a map and a view of Jerusalem. The size of our volume puts a great strain on the binding, which has nevertheless stood the test of time remarkably well. The overall decoration is exuberant, the delicate gauffering lovely, and the original straps remarkably well preserved.…

Amsterdam, Petrus Schenk, 1757-74. Large folio. (55 x 34,5 cm.). A large uncut copy in contemp. marbled boards, spine gone and later backed with buckram, original corners in leather a bit bumped. Stamps on foot of first title-page. Halftitel, title-pages in red/black with engraved vignettes. (2),2 engraved leafs with dedications, 14"(2),8 pp. and 25 + 24 large double-page or triple-page folded engraved plates + 6 additional plates (only sometimes present). With a total of 55 plates. On thick, heavy paper, wide-margined and internally fine and clean. Second edition. "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.…
