Bishops' Bible The Holy Bible. conteyning the Olde Testament and the New. Authorised and appoynted to be read in Churches. Imprinted at London by the Deputies of Christopher Barker, 1595. Folio, full panelled calf, retaining original upper cover and wooden boards, both boards with different panelling, upper board with metal corner-pieces, clasps and central decorative lozenge, spine lettered directly in gilt; title printed in red and black (cut down and remounted), verso blank, [5 (prologue)], [3 (The Whole Scripture...)], [1 (Almanack)], [10 (Kalendar, lacking Feb/Mar leaf)], large woodcut of the Garden of Eden, ll. 560 [lacking 561+2 (viz Herbert 209) and ''A Table to Finde...'' (viz Herbert 227)]; black letter, double column, floriated initials, woodcut maps, decorative tail-pieces. As with most translations of the English Bible, the principal objection of the High Church elements of the Church of England to the Geneva Bible, was not the translation, but rather the marginalia that contextualised and shaped reading and comprehension. The main issue for the Episcopalian Church, was the move by Calvinism towards Presbyterianism, and with it, the removal of the Bishops' jobs. Unfortunately, the Great Bible - the one authorised English Bible - was deficient and translated from the Vulgate, rather than the original tongues. Legendary Archbishop of Canterbury, Matthew Parker, accordingly pushed for a new translation, which became known as the Bishops' Bible after its originators. Parker was not as driven when it came to supervising the general quality of translation however, and this varies wildly from book to book. The Bible was originally published in 1568, heavily revised in 1572, and incrementally revised from there on, until it was replaced by the Authorised Version. It was not as popular as the Geneva Bible, but was not intended to be a general Bible, but rather a Church-focused, authorised tool for accepted worship. This was the Bible of Church doctrine, not personal religion. Despite later criticism, the Bishops' Bible remains an important step in the development of the English Church. This was a Bible that was meant to be heard by the common folk in a language they could understand - a direct contrast to previous prohibitions. This desire directly influenced its much more popular successor, the KJV, whose translators saw themselves as making a good translation better. The Bishops' Bible is sometimes known as the ''Treacle Bible'' for the curious translation of Jeremiah 8:22 as ''Is there not treacle at Gilead?'' Herbert 227 (reprint of 209 with matching pagination). Binding a touch rubbed and scuffed, variable marking etc. throughout, though principally clean, heavy mirrored ink staining 2Y4v and 2Y5r, occasional variable marginal fraying, tearing and restoration and some loss to lower corners throughout, damage and loss affecting text (often heavy) to 2I6, 2K1, 2M4, 2P2, 2V5, 2X3, 2Z5, 3A2, 3H5, 4A5, 4F5 (poss. additional un-noted locations), lacking final four leaves (acc. to Herbert 209/227), still a solid and impressive tome.

Lot 57A

Walker, George The Costume of Yorkshire in 1814. A Series of Forty-One Facsimiles of Original Drawings by George Walker. Leeds: Richard Jackson, 1885. Folio, full parchment gilt; frontis. and 40 colour plates on Japan paper; extra-illus., seemingly without guiding principle, with engravings and similar on pre- and post-lims (inc. verso of frontis., foot of title, and around the explanation of plates, though none obvious on main text block or plates). Limited ed., this no. 15 of 600, first 100 with plates on Japan paper, others on plate paper. Text in English and French. A fascinating view of a mostly lost Yorkshire, with the Milk Boy and the Whalebone Scrapers amongst militia regiments and Line Swinglers. This is not only a costume book however. It also features ancient traditions (such as Riding the Stang) and a picture of Murray and Blenkinsop's steam engine, which predated Stephenson. The additional prints seem mostly unconnected with Yorkshire costume, though some do depict foreign dress and custom.

Lot 232

Leader, Robert History of the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire in the County of York. Sheffield: Printed by the Authority of the Company of Cutlers, by Pawson & Brailsford, 1905. Folio (2 vols). Parchment-backed green buckram bevelled boards, t.e.g.; all illus as called for. Peach, L. du Garde The Company of Cutlers in Hallmshire in the County of York 1906-1956. Sheffield: Printed for the Company by Pawson & Brailsford, 1960. 8vo, white buckram-backed green boards; all illus as called for. Incorporated in 1624, the Cutlers have the jurisdiction over all knives, blades and similar produced within a 6 mile radius of Hallamshire and by later acts this was extended to related trades - most importantly steelworking in 1860. They still possess the right to veto any UK limited company name containing 'Sheffield'. The history (and it's continuation) form a fascinating look at the development of Sheffield's steel industry and the use of maker's marks, control of rights and rituals of belonging to keep control over what would become major industrial growth in the area.
