[BIBLE]. Biblia cu(m) concordantijs veteris et noui testamenti et sacrorum canonum necnon & additionibus in marginibus varietatis diuerso(rum) textuum : ac etiam canonibus antiquis quatuor euangeliorum. Nouissime autem addite sunt concorda(n)tie ex viginti libris Josephi de antiquitatibus & bello iudaico excerpte. Lyon : Jacques Sacon ; Nuremberg : Antoine Koberger, July 24, 1521. - In-folio, 350 x 248 : (14 ff.), CCCXVII ff. (26 ff. first blank). Saddle leather over wood, boards decorated with frames composed of cold rolled foliage and portraits, ribbed spine, leather and brass clasps, blue edges, bookmarks (period binding). Delaveau-Hillard, Bibles imprimées du XVe au XVIIIe siècle, n° 794. Superb 16th-century illustrated Latin Bible, printed in Gothic letters in Lyon by Jacques Sacon for Anton Korberger of Nuremberg. It faithfully follows, page by page, the edition published by the latter in 1519. This edition was produced by the Italian Dominican Alberto Castellano (1450?-1523?), who had initiated the first attempt at critical revision of the Vulgate. It also incorporates historical notes by Milanese canonist and theologian Johannes de Gradibus (14..-1525?), as well as references to canon law in the margins. In addition, it is adorned with a rich woodcut illustration, including two full-page compositions: the first illustrates the six days of creation (opposite folio 1), and the second depicts the Nativity (folio CCXLIV verso). There is also a mid-page engraving of the Garden of Eden and over 140 woodcut vignettes, 80 of which are repeated several times. These woodcuts were mainly produced by the engraver Hans Springinklee (circa 1490-1550), a pupil of Albrecht Dürer, and the painter, draughtsman and engraver Erhard Schön (1491-1542). The title is framed by four woodcut friezes, surrounding the Lyon coat of arms and the Florentine fleur-de-lys, printed in red. This handsome copy is bound in period saddle-skin, cold-stamped on wooden boards. It retains its two original chased brass clasps, but the umbilicus and bouillons (corner irons) are missing. The boards are decorated with foliage friezes and framed portraits, notably of biblical figures. The linings contain several notes and old bookplates. Wormholes in binding and on several leaves, but not serious. Two corners damaged, soiling. Ink stains on folio XXVIII and on folios CLII verso and CLIII recto. Some light dampening.
