A RARE COPY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AS PREPARED BY ST. ALEXIS, METROPOLITAN OF MOSCOW AND ALL RUSSIA. PHOTO TYPE EDITION BY LEONTIUS, METROPOLITAN OF MOSCOW, MOSCOW UNIVERSITY PRESS, 1892. Complete with all pages and retaining the as issued vintage replica cover of the original, overlaid with a profusion of seed pearls and further embellished with cloisonné enameled decorative plaques set with paste stones on both front and back, additionally cloisonné enameled clasps, and on the spine champlevé enamel title plaques. 9.25 inches x 7 inches (23.5 x 17.5 cm). The offered lot represents a true and faithful copy of Metropolitan Saint Alexis of Moscow’s (1296-1378) handwritten copy of the New Testament as translated from the original Greek into common Russian. The volume is comprised of 182 pages, of which 173 are printed from photographs of the original Slavonic handwritten pages as inscribed by Alexis and are bound in a faithful replica of the Gospel’s present covers. In the preface written by Metropolitan Leontius (1891-1893), a brief history of the origins of the original as well as his reasons for producing the copy is provided, and it is mentioned that the first copy was placed on the grave of St. Sergiy of Radonezh who was a close associate of Saint Alexis. It is not known exactly how many copies of this book were produced or for whom. However, judging by the elaborate covers and expensive printing process, one can surmise that such copies were produced in limited numbers and intended as special gifts from Metropolitan Leontius, perhaps to his brothers in the Episcopacy.

Provenance: Private collection, Minneapolis, MinnesotaLiterature: Die Kunst, vol. 17, Munich, 1914, page 428.Astrid Gmeiner and Gottfried Pirhofer, Der Österreichische Werkbund, Salzburg and Vienna, 1985.Joann Skrypzak, exh. cat., Design: Vienna 1890s to 1930s, Chazen Museum of Art, Madison, Wisconsin, 2003, page 68 (for a similar example). Josef Hoffmann (Austrian 1870-1956) was a founding member of the Wiener Werkstätte with banker Fritz Wärndorfer, who funded the venture and fellow artist Koloman Moser. Founded in 1903, the Wiener Werkstätte was a design company who strived to elevate ordinary functional objects to works of art. The offered lot is a notable example of the group’s ideology and demonstrates Hoffmann’s keen understanding of proportion and materials. While functional as a dinner bell, due to Hoffmann’s aesthetically-pleasing streamlined design and use of expensive and decadent materials such as ivory and silver, the item can also be viewed as an object imbued with artistic intent, thought and handling. Hoffman’s designs and the unique items executed by Wiener Werkstätte strongly appealed to the Viennese upper-class who were drawn to the luxurious nature of the group’s one-of-a-kind objects d’art, such as the offered lot.For an identical bell, see Phillips de Pury & Company, New York, Design, March 3, 2012, Lot 28, illustrated.
