	BIBLE. MARTIN (DAVID), EDITOR: La Sainte Bible, qui contient le vieux et le nouveau Testament, revue sur les originaux, Par David Martin, Ministre du Saint Evangile a Utrecht.

	[BUTLER (CHARLES)]: Horae Biblicae. [?London] Printed in the year 1797. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. [ii], 109 [110 Errata], uncut, original boards (worn), crudely rebacked with paper, later notes on end-papers, lacks front free end-paper, title taped to board, rather a sad copy. With the autograph of Michael Joseph Quin (1796 - 1843), the travel writer and Catholic journalist and a few corrections or annotations in his hand; and notes on Butler and Quin on the front paste-down end-paper by "Gal. Barrori," dated 1960. Butler (1750 - 1832), a Catholic, entered Lincoln's Inn in 1775 but could not proceed to the bar, as he could not take the oath of supremacy. The above work is a learned and succinct commentary on the Old and New Testaments as well as the sacred texts of other religions. The previous owner of this copy, Quin, when he was editing the Monthly Review and the Catholic Journal, while supporting Catholic emancipation, might very well have made Butler's acquaintance.

A further inscription which looks like "Toy est dont Ant. K," presumably in Kent's autograph, appears on the top margin of the title-page.

G. Barclay - a Bishop's mitre with a dove of peace to the right - on the front paste-down end-paper, Little is of known of MacBean's life, though he clearly obtained a degree at some stage, probably from a Scottish university, where the first degree was an A. M. Dr. Johnson took pity on him, found him literary work, and wrote a preface to his Dictionary of Ancient Geography (1773), in which, according to Johnson, MacBean "had given as much labour to Capua as to Rome." MacBean spent most of his life in great poverty; when he died in 1784, Johnson said of him, "He was very pious; he was very innocent; he did no ill, and of doing good a continual tenour of distress allowed him few opportunities."

It was issued with a papal bull preventing publication outside the Vatican, and any text produced after that period had to be collated with a Vatican copy. It remained the canonical text for the Catholic Church until 1907, when it was revised.

Given the success of the book, one wonders why Robinson chose to have this third edition printed for himself. The scripture characters themselves seem to be exclusively male: the volumes beginning with Adam (but no mention of Eve), but Esther and the Virgin Mary manage to find themselves included.
