The Apocrypha: Translated out of the Greek and Latin Tongues
New York, Thomas Nelson & Sons, . First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Another fine contribution to the Nelson's Series of books religious and theological in nature, being "the version set forth A.D. 1611 compared with the most ancient authorities and revised A.D. 1894." From the personal library of the noted English historian of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, Professor Peter Morris Green, now of Iowa City, Iowa, 99 years old, nearly blind, but still working, in this case on a new translation and with annotations, of Herodotus, his favorite historian. His penciled notations are left intact. Fine bookplate of Mildred Board affixed inside front flap, but her name is blacked out. Short, black hardcover format, black cloth over bords, still sharp and distinct gilt lettering to front cover, embossed ruling there. Date of publication and author not stated, though it appears to be 1895, and a lengthy, dense Preface provides the fascinating back-story of the process from 1879 to 1895 when these revisions took hold, representing the long work of three different committees of Bible scholars in three centers in England. The Apocrypha are the otherwise sidelined books of the Bible, including here, the Book of Esdras, the Book of Tobit, the Book of Judith, the Book of Esther, the Wisdom of Solomon, the Book of Ecclesiasticus, the Book of Baruch, the Epistle of Jeremiah, the Song of the Three, the Holy Children, the History of Susanna, the Story of Bel and the Dragon, the Prayer of Manasses, and the Book of Maccabees. 376 pp. Double-column texts.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
