315 BENGYOKU SHU. (On Connoisseurship). Osaka, 1793. 32; 16; 22; 43; 27 foldedleaves. B/w line illustrations and reproductions of seal impressions. 5 vols. 25x18 cm.Stitched. £2,000.00Originally published in 1672, this is the 1793 edition of an elusive tract on Japanese connoisseur-shipVolumes one and two have the running title: ‘Gako Insho Insho Bengyoko Shu’ and show numerous

illustrations of seal impressions in volume one plus a few in volume two. Volumes three to five havethe running title: ‘Chaki Bengyoko Shu’ and have outline illustrations of numerous tea ceremony ves-sels and utensils.

316 [Bible]: XIN YIZHAO MATAI CHUAN FUYIN SHU. XIN YIZHAO YUEHAN CHUAN FUYIN SHU. (TheNew Testament Gospel of Matthew and Gospel of John). 新遺詔馬太傳福音書．新遺詔約翰傳福音書. N.p.[Hong Kong?], 1854. Title page plus 26 folded leaves; title page plus 23 folded leaves. 14 columns of 30 characters.26x17 cm. Stitched. £1,800.00A tantalising item, especially in the context of other Protestant Missionary printing of Holy Scripture. It is in superb condition, espe-cially for material of this type, and both Gospels have clean and bright title pages bearing dates of 1854 and the name of a publisher,the ‘Xian Xia Lan Shuyuan’. Literally, this resolves, in English, to: ‘College of the Salty Prawn Corrall,’ a rather extraordinary namefor an institution dedicated, at least in part, to the propagation of Christian knowledge. It may, of course, be a phonetic transcriptionof the actual name or Chinese name of a Western institution, but, usually, special characters with neutral or vestigial meanings areused for such transcriptions. No place of publication is given, and we have so far been unable to track down the ‘Xian Xia Lan’, but can imagine it as a mission-ary press located by the waterfront, most probably in Hong Kong as both title pages are also stamped, in red, with the characters ofthe ‘Fu Han Hui’ — the Chinese Union or Chinese Evangelisation Society that was active in Hong Kong from 1851-59, initially underthe direction of Karl Gutzlaff. In the same collection of books, an item associated with the ‘Fu Han Hui’ has its characters carved onthe title page blocks and printed as such (cf. item GUTCB1, details available on request). Close examination of the impressions showsthat both items have been printed from the same blocks for the Gospels in question. Both impressions are very good and clear and onecould say of either that they must have come from early on in the run. If anything, the impression of the present item is slightly better,the major difference being in the type of paper. The present item is printed on dark paper, while the New Testament, together with itsuniform Old Testament is printed on a soft white paper, with higher quality binding.Given these facts, one possible explanation is that the present item was a printer’s sample, a proof of achievable quality forwarded

to the ‘Fu Han Hui’ and bound with the printer’s own title pages. The Society then went on, perhaps, to commission their edition ofthe complete New Testament as exemplified by item GUTCB1.As for item GUTCB1, the translation here is a culmination of what is known as ‘Gutzlaff’s Version’ using ‘Youtai’ for ‘Jew’ and

‘Shangdi’ for ‘God’. The text has a number of textual notes printed in boxes above the margin of the main text, what the Chinese call‘eyebrow notes’.

LIST 157 – 27 – FROM OUR STOCK


This item really is in excellent condition for its type, with slight fading, discolouration and wear to the covers and chipping wherecovers and stitching meet. Insides very clean and good. The item is from the library of the Baptist College Bristol and has two verysmall paper labels to the spine, two small paper labels to the verso cover and a couple of location markings to rear outer cover andone blank leaf. The two Gospels are very neatly stitched together in their covers with no sign of their ever having been bound other-wise, which lends some weight to the argument that they may have been put together by the printers as a proof of quality. Very rare.
