(anon). The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments: Newly translated out of the Original Tongues, And with the former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised. To His Majesty's Special Command. Appointed to be Read in Churches. Photo available. Edinburgh, Printed by John Mosman and William Brown, Printers to the Kings most Excellent Majesty. M.DCC.XXVII [1727]. 7 3/4" x 5 1/4" x 2" (19.7 cm x 13.3 cm x 5.1 cm) Ð a compact quarto format typical of early 18th-century Bibles. Worn, but intact dark leather with gold-tooled floral patterns and raised bands on the spine. Cracked edges, scuffed corners, and faded gold tooling indicate age, with brittleness requiring careful handling. The checkered endpapers are severely damaged, w An extraordinarily rare 1727 Holy Bible, printed in Edinburgh by John Mosman and William Brown, official "Printers to the King's Most Excellent Majesty" under King George I, offering a unique piece of Scottish printing history.Title and Imprint: The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments: Newly translated out of the Original Tongues, And with the former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised. By His Majesty's Special Command. Appointed to be Read in Churches. EDINBURGH, Printed by John Mosman and William Brown, Printers to the Kings most excellent Majesty. M.DCC.XXVII [1727]. Cum Privilegio. Historical Significance: John Mosman and William Brown were Edinburgh's royal printers in 1727, authorized to produce official works, including religious texts for the Church of Scotland (commonly known as the Kirk). While their known output includes A New Account of the East Indies (1727), this Bible may represent a scarce or unrecorded edition, possibly commissioned for local Edinburgh kirks like Greyfriars, St. Giles, or Canongate. Its title, "Appointed to be Read in Churches," directly ties it to liturgical use within the Kirk, making it a significant artifact of Scottish Presbyterian history. The absence from standard bibliographical records, combined with the Deane inscriptions, enhances its rarity, appealing to collectors of Scottish history, early Bibles, or royal imprints.Value context: Comparable 18th-century Scottish Bibles (e.g., 1715 Watson, £3,800 at Sotheby's; 1743 Watkins, £4,200 at Christie's) suggest a baseline, but this Mosman and Brown edition could fetch $5,000-$15,000+ at auction (approximately £4,000-£12,000), potentially much more with its unique provenance and condition. Research indicates no public auction records for this specific imprint, positioning it as a fresh discovery on the market.This 1727 Holy Bible is a rare survivor from Edinburgh's golden age of printing, tied to the royal court, the Scottish Kirk (Church of Scotland), and the Deane family's history. Whether you're a collector, historian, genealogist, or investor, this could be a once-in-a-lifetime find. Don't miss out! The title page and interior pages show foxing, minor tears, and aging, but text is legible. Some pages have slight creases, and the binding is fragile, with a brittle hinge and endpapers worn. A faint stain on the text block edge is minor and doesn't affect readability.Additional photos upon request. Serious buyers only.
