Importance An early Illustrated Cambridge edition of the King James Bible. Binding Thick Quarto (9.3125” Tall x 7.25” Wide x 3.6875” Thick). Weighs 4 lb 10 oz. Restored & recased contemporary or near contemporary ornately gilt tooled full fine black morocco leather with a.e.g. Original spine relaid with five raised bands & six compartments; containing gilt tooled triple borders, fleurs-de-lis’, crowns, flowers, etc. with title in capitals to third compartment HOLY BIBLE. Boards with gilt tooled borders (with triple-lined fillets), edges, & turn-ins; containing dragonflies, grasshoppers, bees, snails, giraffe weevils, snakes, iguanas, etc. Modern plain end papers (over original paste-downs) with two original fly-leaves at front & one at rear. Binding slightly worn, about half of gilt edges present, & without endbands therefore can’t be shelved vertically. Provenance First two original fly-leaves with genealogical manuscript entries, baptisms, and deaths of the Stone Family including those related to them. Only one child, their 6th child Anne Stone, out of six other children of the Stone Family seems to have survived. John Stone (16?? – April 9th 1720) married Elizabeth ? (16?? – September 13th 1730). They had seven children: 1st John Stone (January 9th 1710/11 – February 10th 1714/15), 2nd Elizabeth Stone (August 4th 1712 – February 8th 1712/13), 3rd Thomas Stone (September 17th 1713 – April 13th 1714), 4th John Stone (February 21st 1715 – August 27th 1715), 5th Hester Stone (November 11th 1716 – April 4th 1720), 6th Anne Stone (March 17th 1717 – 17??), 7th Elizabeth Stone (December 7th 1719 – October 23rd 1720). Mrs. Hester Mede (Ann’s grandmother) died on January 21st 1732. Including another Mrs. Hester Mede (Ann’s Aunt) died on March 21st 1732. Hugh Delane Tilham died on October 27th 1744. Anne Stone (March 17th 1717 – 17??) married William Power (17??-17??). Perhaps they had only one child: 1st child Sophia Anne Power (January 2nd 1745/46). It is very typical to find ones name scribbled out to remain anonymous for various reasons. Perhaps in this case, during the early or late 18th c. someone (most likely a woman) named ? Medes decided to write the following short manuscript The Trinity in Unity, where she later scribbled out her own name to remain anonymous so she wont be associated with its contents that reveal the struggles between her mind and the Trinity doctrine. This is supported by her own writing that the Three Person is one (triune) because they are intimate to each other, as this is reflected in the three faculties of the mind (memory, understanding, and will) all working as one. It’s as if she was attempting to prove to herself the truth of the doctrine by finding a human equivalent or else the doctrine cannot be trusted. On the other hand this short manuscript perhaps can be the result of the struggles between her mind and two opposing doctrines (Trinity and Unitarianism) of the time. It seems as though she was exposed to or even converted to Unitarianism, which rejects the Trinity doctrine that God is three in one (triune), and instead believes God as one (unity). This is supported by the fact she wrote an explanation of the Trinity and later scribbled out her name, therefore it might suggest that she was grappling with these two doctrines or trying to reconcile them with her own beliefs. Something very interesting to note is the usage of self-consciousness, the OED appears to have recorded it only from 1675. Manuscript reads The Trinity in Unity: Three Person thurs [correctly thus] Intimate to each other are numerically one: and tharefore St. Astin [Saint Augustine but Saint Austin for short] represents this much better: bye that Self consciousness which is between those Distinct faculties in us of memory: understanding: and will: which know and feal who ever is in each other: wee remember what wee understanding and will: we understand what we remember and will: and what wee will wee remember and understand: and therefore those three faculties: which are thus intimate to each other make one man; and if wee can sopose three infinite minds and Persons: thus conscious of whatsoever is in each other as thay are of them Selfs: thay can be but one numerical God.

The Old Testament and New Testament title pages feature an ornamental oval frame Device of the University of Cambridge. There were numerous variations of this Device (emblem with motto) printed, and the earliest known example of its use was in the year circa 1600 in William Perkins Book A Golden Chaine. Upon closer inspection the motto reads in Old Latin HINC LUCEM ET POCULA SACRA, which means Hence light and sacred draughts. At the center within the square block ALMA MATER CANTABRIGIA, which means Cambridge our nursing mother. The device is intended as an emblematic representation of Cambridge depicting the University as the source of intellectual and spiritual enlightenment and sustenance. (Eward, Suzanne M. “Alma Mater Cantabrigia: A Device in Print and Plaster.” Proceedings of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, LXXVII, Cambridge Antiquarian Society, 1989, pp. 137–143.) Frederick Hendrik Van Hove (circa 1628-1698) was born in Haarlem, Netherlands. In the 1660’s Van Hove moved to London where he lived and worked there as an engraver until his death. In John Duntons book Life and Errors he shares some interesting thoughts about Van Hove, Mr. Vanhove was another Engraver that I traded with. He drew for me Don Kainophilus ; The Passing Bell ; Innocent the Eleventh ; The House of Weeping ; The Martyrs in Flames, and Forty other Pictures. And though I cannot rank him with Mr. White, for he seldom draws from the Living Original; yet, to do Mr. Vanhove justice, he is a very ingenious Artist; a great enemy to sensual pleasures; of remarkable justice; and, though a Papist, has a most particular zeal against all severities and persecutions upon the account of Religion.
