    London: A very nice copy of a Breeches Bible published by Robert Barker in 1608. Contains: A general title; The Old Testament (but no separate Old Testament Title page); The New Testament With Title; Revelation ; 2 Concordances (With separate title stating that these were collected by R.F.H.) ; Book of Psalms (Separate title state that they were collected by Thomas Sternehold & John Hopkins). Bound in full 20th century mottled calf. Plain new endpapers. 4 raised bands to spine, blind decorations to compartments. Board edges patterned. Black and gilt label & titles to spine. All title pages present. Final 3 pages, Psalms with very old repairs and one page inserted out of order. Psalms complete but Creed incomplete at end of book (So ends at page 92). All sections dated 1608. Robert Barker. The noted issues with this copy are: f68 marked as f96; f173 with pasted down border note; f329 (last of Ezekiel misbound in Daniel); f330 present but with loss of a large are of text; f434 mispaginated as f435; f435 has large ink stain to verso; f464 small closed tear; f483 torn with some loss; f490 mispaginated as f499; f534 complete but torn; Book of Psalms: 1st 10 pages unpaginated; p28 mispaginated as p27; p86 mispaginated as p66; pps 87/88 exchanged with pps 89/90; The final two leaves have been repaired, and the final leaf with moderate loss to the edges. As is inevitable with a Bible of this age, there are also tiny tears, nicks and edgewear, and a general darkening of the pages, nevertheless s a very nice example. This edition of the Geneva Bible received the nickname Breeches Bible, because on its erroneous translation of Genesis Chapter 3, Verse 7. The text reads: 'Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed figge tree leaves together, and made themselves breeches.' Each page is numbered to the recto only (if at all) so these are actually leaf numbers (so we refer to fn). To confuse matters further, the book of psalms numbers each page, not leaf. Full collation: [ii], 1-554, [1-98], [1]-91.pp Collation: [lacks blank q1], q2-Zzz10, A-L2, A-G3. Our copy substantially conforms to Darlow & Moule 225a. The states that it is substantially a close reprint of the 1605 quarto, with text ending on fo.554 (as does ours for the OT and NT) and with Gen. i. 3: 'Then God Sayd...' 240 by 170mm (9½ by 6¾ inches).

    . Très bel exemplaire d'une Bible en culotte de cheval publiée par Robert Barker en 1608. Contient : Un titre général ; l'Ancien Testament (mais pas de page de titre séparée pour l'Ancien Testament) ; le Nouveau Testament avec un titre ; l'Apocalypse ; 2 concordances (avec un titre séparé indiquant qu'elles ont été rassemblées par R.F.H.) ; le Livre des Psaumes (avec un titre séparé indiquant qu'elles ont été rassemblées par Thomas Sternehold & John Hopkins). Reliure en plein veau moucheté du 20e siècle. Les pages de garde sont neuves et unies. 4 bandes surélevées au dos, décorations aveugles sur les compartiments. Bords de la planche à motifs. Étiquette et titres noirs et dorés au dos. Toutes les pages de titre sont présentes. Les 3 dernières pages, Psaumes avec de très vieilles réparations et une page insérée dans le désordre. Les Psaumes sont complets mais le Credo est incomplet à la fin du livre (il se termine à la page 92). Toutes les sections sont datées de 1608. Robert Barker. Les problèmes notés dans cet exemplaire sont : f68 marqué comme f96 ; f173 avec une note de bordure collée ; f329 (dernière page d'Ezéchiel mal reliée à Daniel) ; f330 présent mais avec perte d'une grande partie du texte ; f434 mal paginé comme f435 ; f435 a une grande tache d'encre au verso ; f464 petite déchirure fermée ; f483 déchiré avec une certaine perte ; f490 mal paginé comme f499 ; f534 complet mais déchiré ; Livre des Psaumes : Les 10 premières pages ne sont pas paginées ; p28 mal paginée comme p27 ; p86 mal paginée comme p66 ; pps 87/88 échangées avec pps 89/90 ; Les deux derniers feuillets ont été réparés, et le dernier feuillet avec une perte modérée sur les bords. Comme c'est inévitable avec une Bible de cet âge, il y a aussi de petites déchirures, des entailles et un assombrissement général des pages, mais c'est un très bel exemplaire. Cette édition de la Bible de Genève a reçu le surnom de Bible à culotte, en raison de sa traduction erronée du chapitre 3, verset 7 de la Genèse. Le texte se lit comme suit : Les yeux de l'un et de l'autre s'ouvrirent, et ils connurent qu'ils étaient nus. Ils cousirent ensemble des feuilles de figuier et se firent une culotte. Chaque page n'étant numérotée qu'au recto (voire pas du tout), il s'agit en fait de numéros de feuilles (nous nous référons donc à fn). Pour compliquer encore les choses, le livre des psaumes numérote chaque page, et non chaque feuille. Collation complète : [ii], 1-554, [1-98], [1]-91.pp Collation : [manque le blanc q1], q2-Zzz10, A-L2, A-G3. Notre exemplaire est en grande partie conforme à Darlow & Moule 225a. Il s'agit d'une réimpression proche du quarto de 1605, avec le texte se terminant sur fo.554 (comme le nôtre pour l'AT et le NT) et avec Gen. i. 3 : 'Then God Sayd...' 240 par 170mm (9½ par 6¾ pouces).

    Originally published in installments between 1824-1826, it was part of the Catholic Emancipation debate. As ever, Cobbett was somewhat of a contrarian radical, and in this work supports the Catholic position. Un exemplaire de la Bibliothèque catholique de la Belgique. Reliure cartonnée avec titres et décorations dorés au dos. Premier Ainsi. Traduction de l'œuvre de Cobbett, de l'anglais vers le français. Bords de page marbrés. Pages de garde marbrées.

Frotter aux coins. Tamponné au verso de la page de titre avec le cachet officiel de la Bibliothèque Catholique de la Belgique. Quelques rousseurs mais dans l'ensemble bon exemplaire.

    Publié à l'origine par tranches entre 1824 et 1826, il faisait partie du débat sur l'émancipation catholique. Comme toujours, Cobbett était un peu un radical à contre-courant, et dans cet ouvrage soutient la position catholique.

Contemporary ownership signatures to the half title and title of each volume. Table of contents to the rear of the second volume. Complete with six full page engravings outside the text including two frontispieces. (one showing the torture in all its glory!) The author traces the history of heresies from the Roman era, before focusing on the Inquisition, its creation, its influence, from the Albigensian and Cathar persecutions, to trials brought in Portugal in 1808. Dorbon 2506. Collation: 400., 415. pages. 20.5cm x 13cm. The most vibrant heresy in Europe was Catharism, also known as Albigensianism—for Albi, a city in southern France where it flourished. Catharism held that the universe was a battleground between good, which was spirit, and evil, which was matter. Human beings were believed to be spirits trapped in physical bodies.

    . Première édition. Deux volumes. Bel exemplaire de cette histoire de l'Inquisition en deux volumes. Texte en français. Reliure en plein cuir d'époque avec des étiquettes noires et bordeaux et des titres et décorations dorés au dos. Les deux volumes sont un peu frottés et bosselés, mais ils tiennent bien ensemble. Signatures de propriétaires contemporains sur le demi-titre et le titre de chaque volume. Table des matières au dos du deuxième volume. Complet avec six gravures à pleine page hors texte, dont deux frontispices. (L'auteur retrace l'histoire des hérésies depuis l'époque romaine, avant de se concentrer sur l'Inquisition, sa création, son influence, depuis les persécutions albigeoises et cathares, jusqu'aux procès intentés au Portugal en 1808. Dorbon 2506. Collation : 400, 415 pages. 20.5cm x 13cm. L'hérésie la plus vivante en Europe était le catharisme, également connu sous le nom d'albigeois, en référence à Albi, une ville du sud de la France où il a prospéré. Le catharisme soutenait que l'univers était un champ de bataille entre le bien, qui était l'esprit, et le mal, qui était la matière. Les êtres humains étaient considérés comme des esprits enfermés dans des corps physiques.

This volume has had damage to the bottom edge (looks as if perhaps mice before binding or similar?). As a result, the text block has been shaved to the base (not affecting text). This has resulted in the book being 2.5 cm shorter than the other two volumes.

Chaque homélie a sa propre page de titre et sa propre date. Celles-ci ont évidemment été imprimées sous forme d'homélies séparées et reliées ensemble ici. Texte en français. Vol 1. 1707 4e édition. Ce volume a eu des dommages sur le bord inférieur (on dirait peut-être des souris avant la reliure ou similaire ?). En conséquence, le bloc de texte a été rasé jusqu'à la base (n'affectant pas le texte). Le livre est donc plus court de 2,5 cm que les deux autres volumes.

There are also references to The Glossop Estate, and settlements in 1841. An annuity to Dr Sandon and his wife is mentioned, as is a re-settlement agreed on the date of the Duke of Surrey's marriage. Full contemporary straight grain dark red morocco, gilt lettered 'Miscellaneous' on the upper cover. Slight wear to the head of the spine, and lacks the clasp. It bears the engraved stationers' label of Bebbington's Bath Paper Warehouse, 426, Strand. 120 mm x 190 mm. Henry Charles Howard and his father were Roman Catholics, although his mother Lady Elizabeth Belasyse was Anglican. It is not clear if Howard was formally and nominally raised Anglican, or if he was already Catholic when he married into a prominent Whig (and therefore anti-Catholic) family in 1814. In 1829, after Catholic emancipation, the Earl of Surrey (as he now was) was elected a Member of Parliament. In 1839
    his son, Henry Granville Fitzalan, Fourteenth Duke of Norfolk, married Augusta Lyons, the daughter of Admiral
    Sir Edmund (afterwards Lord) Lyons, the ambassador at Athens. This necessitated a revision of his father's inheritance provisions.

    First Latin edition of this polemic, originally published in French in 1610 under the title "Institution catholique". The author Pierre Coton (1564 - 1626) was a French Jesuit, friend and confessor of the French King Henry IV and his son, who later became King Louis XIII. After the assassination of Henry IV in 1610, Coton was often the victim of polemics and attacks, who blamed the regicide on the Jesuits. His name went down in history in the form of a quip: "The king has cotton in his ears!" Having become, thanks to the protection of Marie de Medici, the confessor of the young Louis XIII, he remained influential until his disgrace, linked to the coup de force of the young king against the Concini in 1617.

    Première édition latine de cette polémique, originellement publiée en français en 1610 sous le titre
    "Institution catholique". L'auteur Pierre Coton (1564 - 1626) était un jésuite français, ami et confesseur du roi français Henri IV et de son fils, qui devint plus tard le roi Louis XIII. Après l'assassinat d'Henri IV en 1610, Coton fut souvent victime de polémiques et d'attaques, qui imputaient le régicide aux Jésuites. Son nom est entré dans l'histoire sous la forme d'une boutade : "Le roi a du coton dans les oreilles !". Devenu, grâce à la protection de Marie de Médicis, le confesseur du jeune Louis XIII, il reste influent jusqu'à sa disgrâce, liée au coup de force du jeune roi contre les Concini en 1617.
