    • Hondius map.- Broughton (Hugh) A Concent of Scripture, first edition, first issue, for Gabriell Simson and William White, [1587-91].
      Oct. 21, 2021

      Hondius map.- Broughton (Hugh) A Concent of Scripture, first edition, first issue, for Gabriell Simson and William White, [1587-91].

      Est: £1,000 - £1,500

      Hondius map.- Broughton (Hugh) A Concent of Scripture, first edition, first issue, engraved title with wording "Come, and see" at top, woodcut initials and decorations, double-page engraved map of the world attributed to Jodocus Hondius the elder, 5 engraved plates, without the folding map of Judea ("north part of the equinoctial") and folding letterpress explanation as often, later panelled calf, gilt, with gilt arms to upper cover, rebacked, rubbed, one corner worn, [STC 3850], 4to, for Gabriell Simson and William White, [1587-91]. ⁂ A very good copy of this work, in essence a chronology of scriptural history, by Broughton (1549-1612), a divine and rabbinical scholar. It was seen through the press by John Speed. Ben Jonson satirised the author in Volpone and The Alchemist; and Sir John Harington mentions the work in his 'advertisement' to his translation of Orlando Furioso: "..a treatise set foorth by Maister Broughton, the last year, upon the Revelation, in which there are some 3 or 4 pretie figures (in octavo) cut in brasse verie workemanly." This is the first major work of cartographer Hondius (1563-1612/3), who came to England in 1583 as a Protestant refugee. The map of the world is based on Ortelius; the missing map is found in very few copies and the leaf of letterpress by R. Field, dated to c.1590, may represent a later issue. This copy has the chain lines in gathering F horizontal, denoting a first issue. Provenance: Henry Villiers Stuart, Baron Stuart de Decies (1803-74) - his arms on upper cover. Bookplate of Tempsford Hall; ink stamp of Bradford City Library to rear pastedown.

In either case they point out that the printing leaves much to be desired. However these items are very rare. NOTE The English translation of the Hebrew letter, which is mentioned on the title-page to the Latin translation, is not present in any copy we have seen described, and is not mentioned in STC.
