Hard Cover. Condizione: New. No Jacket. First Edition. 8vo,hb, new book, 245 pp. Exposes the C19 myth that Marbeck was a medieval hangover, showing that he was actually a Reformation musician working on the same principles as Luther, and a Puritan devotional writer. The King's 'singing man' at Windsor as Foxe calls him got within an hour of being burnt (royal pardon) but lived on into old age and was authorised to turn the Reformation Prayer Book to music, thus refuting any who believe the English Reformation was anticultural and had nothing to say on music. Provides detailed extracts from his very rare works, and also contemporary comments about Marbeck (eg Edward Halle, & John Foxe 1563 and 1570 editions showing variants between them). At Cranmer's request he turned the first Prayer Book into music, see no. 003754 for more Marbeck. Size: 8vo.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. 1st Edition. First edition. 8vo. pp. [40 (of 44)], 1-688, 699-1194. Lacks A1 (blank except for signature-mark "A" with ornament), and A4 (second leaf of dedication). Black letter, occasional woodcut capital. Main text complete despite errors in numbering. [STC, 17299]. 17th century calf, boards detached, earlier leaves close trimmed, later sheet pasted to title verso (probably 19th century advert), presumably to reinforce the title page, occasional 18th century marginal notes, unrelated to text, front fly-leaf seemingly pasted to front board, rear fly-leaf lacking. Early leaves heavily thumbed, with some fraying to margins, but quickly becoming cleaner. An extremely rare work, one that is exceptionally seldom on the market. Marbeck was in some ways an unfortunate man: a skilled musician and divine, he embraced the Anglican cause under Henry VIII, and then faced persecution after his policy softened toward the Church of Rome, but survived after being regarded more a musician than a theologian. He then continued to work on the first concordance in English, and also produced this remarkable work, which contains a huge variety of definitions and discussions of hundreds of religious and related terms, with extensive chapter and verse given. In turn, his profound insight and erudition may be regarded as an important source of moral feeling and religious sensibility in Elizabethan England. ESTC, 17299. Lowndes 1470. …
