The Bay Psalm Book (Classic Reprint): Being a Facsimile Reprint of the First Edition, Printed by Stephen Daye at Cambridge, in New England in 1640 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Bay Psalm Book
From a deposition made by Stephen Daye in 1655, in the suit brought by Glover's heirs against Henry Dunster, president of Harvard College, we learn that the cost of printing the seventeen hundred copies was £33, that one hundred and sixteen reams of paper were used, valued at £29, that the book was sold at twenty pence per copy, and that the total receipts from sales were estimated at £141 13s. 4d., leaving a profit of £79 13s. 4d. The new Psalm Book was adopted at once by nearly every congregation in the Colony of Massachusetts Bay, and for that reason it came to be known as the Bay Psalm Book. A revised and enlarged edition, under the title of Toe Psalms Hymns and Spiritual Songs of tbe Old and New Testament, was printed at Cambridge in 1651, in an edition of two thousand copies, and in this form it ran through many editions in New England, the latest being The Twenty-seventh Edition, printed at Boston in 1 62.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique insight into the first book printed in America, known as the Bay Psalm Book. The book was a product of the intense religious fervor of the Puritan community in the Massachusetts Bay Colony during the 17th century. The authors, seeking a more accurate and expressive translation of the Psalms, undertook the task of creating their own version. The book explores the motivations and challenges faced by the authors in their pursuit of a more meaningful connection with their faith through the written word, shedding light on the significance of religious expression and textual interpretation in early American history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333076078_0
