Bibles

Oxford: Printed at The University Press by John Collingwood & Co 1841 4to unpaginated, 1841 VG+ to Near Fine copy of the large 4to edition, bound in original full burgundy leather, with intricate gilt tooling to front & rear covers & spine, raised bands, all edges gilt. There is slight rubbing to the covers, and the edges are somewhat scuffed, otherwise the binding is in excellent condition. The bookplate of Edgar & Helen Corrie, dated 27th Nov. 1843, is affixed to the front pastedown, and is very attractive in its own right, having hand-stamped gilt lettering & intricate gilt border on a purple background. Internally, apart from some very mild foxing to the prelims, the book is Very Fine throughout, printed in large letter double-column, and appears to be completely unread, with the look and lustre of a brand new book. Obviously, this book has been lovingly cared for by its previous owners throughout the past 150 years, and it is now looking for a new loving home.

1683 Saint Francis de Sales Catholic MYSTICISM Bible Italian Venice Woodcuts
"Be who you are and be that well."
― Francis de Sales
Francis de Sales was a 16th-century Catholic bishop from Geneva and was a voice of reason during the unrest caused by the Protestant Reformation. Many of his treaties were highly influential, particularly to those studying Mysticism. He and his writings were popular in both Protestant and Catholic circles, much in part to his works serving as guides to moral living and spiritual devotion, rather than focusing on religious doctrine. In his most famous work 'Devout Life', De Sales states,
"My purpose is to instruct those who live in town, within families, or at court, and are obliged to live an ordinary life as to outward appearances."
'Epistres Spirituels' was one of Sales main treatises on spiritual direction and mysticism.

1911 ILLUMINATED 1ed Jesus Sermon on the Mount Bible SANGORSKI Gospel of Matthew

"The Sermon on the Mount," is a beautifully illustrated presentation of the famous Biblical passage by Alberto Sangorski. This work features ornate borders richly adorned with floral and geometric patterns, as well as iconography. Central to the designs are medallion portraits that include Jesus Christ, St. John, St. Paul, St. Matthew and more, each encircled by decorative elements. The text within is from the Gospel of Matthew, chapters 5 through 7, encompassing the Beatitudes and other famous teachings of Jesus. Sangorski's artwork brings a vivid and intricate aesthetic to the foundational Christian text, which lays out moral precepts such as the importance of meekness, mercy, and purity of heart, as well as practical directives on love, generosity, and faith. The book itself suggests a historical reverence for the sacred text, presenting it not just as scripture but also as a magnificent piece of art.
