Lot 245

English Statutes in contemporary bindings.- Table (A) to al the Statutes made from the beginning of the raigne of Kyng Edwarde the vi, 2 vol., black letter, woodcut general titles, numerous divisional titles, some with woodcut borders, woodcut initials, some light water-staining at end of vol.2, occasional spotting, last few margins of both vol. affected by clasps (causing holes and rust-marks), contemporary blind-stamped calf over wooden boards, vol.1 rebacked preserving original spine, a few other repairs and clasps renewed, folio, Richard Tottell [and others], 1570-76.⁂ A remarkable survival in generally excellent condition and in contemporary bindings, albeit restored. These statutes provide a profound insight into the legal framework governing the lives and times of the Elizabethans, such as apparel, apprentices, bail, beggars, the Book of Common Prayer, Brickmakers, Cathedrals, Counterfeiting, Rebellious Assemblies, Sheriffs, Wool, and so on, as well as statutes of major impact such as the Supreme Head of the Church of England (26 Henry VIII c 1).The bindings appear to be those of Oldham's "F.D. binder", who he believed came from Germany and of which some 35 examples are known. These bindings are characterised by a particular design - "his design was, with very few exceptions, always the same, one roll, used doubled, with an inner frame touching the outer" (Oldham, English Blind-stamped Bindings, p.32 and plate XIX). The first volume in this set has the collective table by Tottell, and individual issues by Tottell (five), Jugge (ten), and Christopher Barker (one), covering Edward VI; Mary 1, Philip and Mary, and Elizabeth 1 as follows: Edward VI year 1 (Tottell); 2-3 (Tottell), 3-4 (Tottell), 5-6 (Tottell), 6-7 (Totell), Mary 1 year 1 (Jugge); year 1 (Until October) (Jugge); Phillip and Mary Years 1-2 (Jugge), 2-3 (Jugge), 4-5 (Jugge), Elizabeth 1 Year 1 (Jugge), 5 (Jugge), 8 (Jugge), 13 (Christopher Barker), 14 (Jugge), 18 (Jugge). The second volume opens with the title page to volume two, collective table by Marsh, and is followed by his reissue of the Henry VIII statutes: years 1, 3-7, 14-15, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 31, 32, 33, 34-35, 35.The group offered here is unusually coherent, being printed entirely between 1570-1576. Marsh is known to have produced a two-volume issue, and presumably he took over the stock of Jugge after his death, using it as spare parts to constitute the first volume, to go alongside his reissue of the Henry VIII statutes.

Lot 274

Hobbes (Thomas) Leviathan, or The Matter, Forme & Power of a Common-Wealth, first edition, first issue, printed title with 'head' ornament, additional engraved pictorial title with paper restorations to upper corner (not affecting image) and light minor staining, folding letter press table with small tear to lower margin, initial 4 ff., including title, and a few other ff. with small marginal tears, occasional spotting and staining, worm hole from 2R2 onwards, very slightly affecting text, contemporary ink ownership inscription to title, endpapers renewed, contemporary calf, re-backed, covers and extremities rubbed, [Pforzheimer 491; PMM 138; Wing H2246], folio, for Andrew Crooke, 1651.⁂ Hobbes is now widely regarded as among the greats of political philosophy and Leviathan, his most famous work, has been described as rivalling the writings of Plato, Aristotle, Locke, Rousseau and Kant in terms of political significance due to its early and influential development of the 'social contract theory' (Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy). His argument, drawn from experiencing the English Civil War, was that a contract between society and an absolute power was necessary to prevent a degradation into anarchy or the 'war of all against all'. The iconography of the frontispiece, created after detailed consultation with Hobbes by Parisian etcher Abraham Bosse, reflects many of the book's fundamental concepts; the gigantesque sovereign-king is composed of over 300 tiny individuals, the contractual co-signers, who face away from the viewer towards their ruler, rendering him more powerful by their consent and the double columns beneath, whose panels represent the two sources of sovereign authority, ecclesiastical and temporal.
