Nr. 92533559
J. Brown - The Self interpreting Bible, containing the Old and New Testaments, accordion to the Authorized Version, with an introduction, marginal references and readings, explanatory notes and reflections. Published by Blackie and Son, London circa 1873. Very informative introductions of around 76 pages. The Old Testament and New Testament of 1446 pages. Original leather binding with blind-tooled (frames, floral motifs and medallions) and richly gold print; back provided with ribs, richly golden letters and title shield, gold-edged. .
Condition - excellent! Very nice original band with solid nips, very neat and solid block, very neat, crisp and white pages (virtually like new).
Very fine specimen in brilliant band with richly golden letters and with beautiful plates of sublime detailing. The decoration prints are very high typographic quality. In addition, the prints are printed on thick quality paper. The landscapes and cityscapes provide a unique cultural and historical understanding of Israel and the surrounding area from the 19th century.
John Brown of Haddington (1722 – 19 June 1787), was a Scottish minister and author of uncommon popularity. He is the 'Brown' mentioned in Robert Burns’ 'Epistle to James Tennant'. The Self Interpreting Bible was Brown's most significant work, and it remained in print well into the twentieth century. The Bible was 'self-interpreting' due to the many marginal references, especially comparing one scriptural statement with another. Brown also provided a substantial introduction to the Bible, and added an explication and 'reflections' for each chapter.
A very beautiful Bible.
