Help me identify these Bibles

I have two newly acquired old (Not really very old, compared to most of my stuff) Bibles that I am wondering if anybody can provide me with the actual revision that I have.

Both a large hardbacks containing the apocrypha

The first was printed and published by M. Carey
no. 121 Chestnut Street (no town) 1817
This was owned by a Mary Brown bought on April 15th 1818 for $12,50cts (I think $12.50) Pretty expensive in 1818) It has a beautiful chart of the birth and deaths of the Patriarchs Like both has all the blah blah printed for his majest by special command, etc.

It also contains John Brown's concordance with seventy maps and historical engravings.


Big nice KJV

The other is the same except much newer with a little better looking cover.printed 1850 Buffalo: Published by Phinney & Co.

It has Canne's Marginal Notes and References

Anybody know anything about the actual versions (are the Oxford, etc.)?

 

Okay, so I will ask this. Does anybody know about John Brown's concordance or Canne's Marginal Notes and References. Where they came from, background, theology, etc?

 

Thank you very, very much Mesly. I collect old Bibles and these are two of my new acquisitions. 1800 Bibles are not very rare. In fact i have quite a few "teachers" Bibles from around the civil war era. (Small, hard to read Bibles, that were printed primarily for students with cost in mind.)

My favorite is a German Martin Luther printed in 1739 by Berlegts Johann Georg Gotta(sp?) It is a very large Bible in good shape (considering the age). Sadly missing the metal straps that locked it.A pencil drawing of a clipper ship is found on the front inside cover (no telling what or who did it).

It contains many beautiful woodcut pictures and is printed with both red and black ink.

I also have some individual pages (sadly people thought they could make more money by tearing up old Bibles and selling the pages individually.

I have a page of the Ephefians. from "The Holie Bible, conteyning the olde Testament and the newe, printed by Richard Jugge at London, England in 1572, Large folio size--The second Edition of the Great Bible (Bishop's).

A page from the English Bible printed in London by Robert Barker in 1608.

A page of "The Bible translated according to the Ebrew and Greeke and conferred with the best translations...Imprinted at London by Christopher Barker, printer to the Queens most excellent Maieste in 1579" This is the earliest in a long series of quarto Geneva Bibles printed in England. 2 editions were printed, this is edition one.

Multiple King James pages one from 1628 Imprinted by Bonham Norton and John Bill, printers to the Kings most Excellent maiestie.

KJ 1642 Robert Barker and John Bill in London

A fifteen hundred hymn in Latin complete with red music and a four line staff.

A bunch of 1614 king james pages

A 1647 Greek-Latin: Beza page printed in Amsterdam.

Not trying to brag because I collected these over years of finding bargains. This is just part of my collection of old Bibles, I just LOVE collecting them and trying to preserve them. I have only shown them all publically once and that is to my church. Otherwise, they are stored in a safe-fire-proof climate controlled location.

It just fascinates me to actually see and touch something printed that long ago. (Of course 1500 is not so far back in reality.)

 

Thank you rsr.

 

rsr, what did we do without the internet when I was in school? Amazing the information available to the public today...isn't it?

 

I can agree with that 100%, just look at some of the references we have been asked to consider as "fact" in the last few weeks.
