BIBLE, N.T., English. The New Testament of Iesus Christ, Translated Faithfully into English. Translated from Latin into English by Gregory Martin, under the supervision of William Allen and Richard Brostow. Rheims: John Fogny, 1582.
4o (225 x 160 mm). Title-page printed in red and black, ruled in red throughout. Woodcut head- and tail-pieces, numerous woodcut initials. (Rust holes on O2 and Ppp1 catching a few letters, small marginal repairs on Xxxx4 and Yyyy3.) 19th-century English black hard-grained morocco (cover and spine loose). Provenance: Sir Alexander Fraser of Philorth (ca 1537-1623), founder of Fraserburgh (inserted vellum leaf with his arms before title; title border hand colored presumably for him) -- George Wilkinson (note in Perkins' hand on front flyleaf) sold by Evans, July 1836, lot 702) -- Henry Perkins (notes on front flyleaf) -- Leonard Shuter (bookplate) sold 23 November 1891 -- C.L. Lewes, possibly a descendant of the actor Charles Lee Lewes, 1740-1803 (signature dated 1907 on front flyleaf) -- Estelle Doheny (morocco bookplate; purchased from Maggs Bros., London, 2 October 1941) -- donated to SMS 1941.
FIRST EDITION of the Roman Catholic (Douai-Rheims) version of the New Testament in English. Martin's translation adheres closely to the Latin, but freely uses existing versions. Most striking are the resemblances to Coverdale's diglot of 1538. This Rheims version exerted a strong influence on the Royal version of 1611 (lot 178), transmitting to it an extensive vocabulary and distinctive phrases. Herbert 177; STC 2883. FINE COPY WITH CONTEMPORARY PROVENANCE.
