Description

[armorial binding] [BIBLE] Biblia Cum Summarum Apparatu Pleno... Paris, Jean Prevel, June 1528. One volume. 10 by 15 cm. 480-(51) leaves. Full posterior (18th) glazed calf, spine 5-ribbed, decorated caissons, red title-piece, roulette on edges. Nicolai Joseph FOUCAULT's coat of arms in the center of the boards. One split jaw (without affecting the solidity of the book), leather missing from the bottom of the spine, a few stains on the second cover, corners slightly worn. The last 10 leaves have been restored in the margins, with loss of characters, as have leaves XXVI and XXVII (loss of comments in the margins). A small hole in the primo leaf, again with loss of some characters. Our copy lacks the 28 introductory leaves. It does contain the explanation of Hebrew terms and the table. Very fine two- or three-column printing in Gothic script. An out-of-text woodcut depicts the 6 days of creation. 3 vignettes in the text (Letter of St. Jerome, Genesis and Proverbs), initials. Jacques PREVEL, printer in Paris, produced three editions of the Bible (1519, 1523 and 1528). The 1528 edition is very similar to that of 1523, apart from the different initials. Nicolas-Joseph Foucault (1643-1721) was a French civil servant and bibliophile. A scholar, he discovered at Moissac Abbey the manuscript of De mortibus persecutorum, attributed to Lactantius and known only through a quotation from Saint Jerome. A rare work, presented here with its defects...
