Jean de la Haye(1593 – 1661) was a French preacher and Biblical scholar. He held important offices in the Franciscan Order and at the Court of Louis XIII, and is the author or editor of some forty folio volumes and several unpublished manuscripts. His two major commentaries, which includes this one, were designed principally for the use of priests and preachers. After every chapter, Haye quotes verbatim the commentaries of Gagnaeus, Estius, Manuel de Sá, Menochius, and Tirinus
Authors / Contributors: Jean de La Haye; Jacobus Tirinus; Manuel de Sá; Jean de Gaigny; Giovanni Stefano Menochio; Willem Hessels Van Est; Denis Béchet; Michel Soly; Mathieu Guillemot; Antoine Bertier
All 5 volumes are in good condition. The leather is cracked on the spines, but all spines & boards are intact. All pages seem to be present. There may be a few loose pages, dog ears, small tears, small repairs, foxing, browning, staining, but good for books of this age. Text is crisp and clear.
Father Joseph Curr (1793 – 29 June 1847) was a Roman Catholic priest and author who was called a “martyr of charity” for his work in Leeds in the typhus epidemic of 1847. He was born in Sheffield on 14 April 1793, baptized by his godfather, Fr Richard Rimmer, at the Catholic Chapel in Norfolk Row on 6 May, and died in Leeds, on 29 June 1847.
He was educated at Crook Hall, County Durham, and later went to the seminary at Ushaw College. After being ordained he was based in Manchester, serving the Catholic missions in Rook Street and Granby Row. During that time he debated with the Protestant Bible Association. He then went to La Trappe in France, later returned to Ushaw, and after that went to Callaly in Northumberland. He also served parishes in Blackburn, Whitby and Sheffield. Leeds was suffering from a shortage of Catholic priests, due to an epidemic, when Curr was chaplain to Bishop Briggs; Curr volunteered to serve there, where he died from typhus.
Father Joseph Curr’s principal works are:
The Instructor’s Assistant
Visits to the Blessed Sacrament and to the Blessed Virgin
Spiritual Retreat (adapted from Bourdaloue
Familiar Instructions in Catholic Faith and Morality

Title Page reads: “The Holy Bible Containing the Old Testament and The New: Newly translated out of the Original Tongues. Thomas And Clarke. With the former Translations diligently conpar’d & revis’d By his Ma(ts) Special Command Appointed to be read in Churches London Printed by the Afsigns of Thomas Newcomb, and Henry Hills, deceas’d, Printers to the Queens most Excellent Majesty 1711.”
Red-ruled: Bibles that are ruled in red are more beautiful in appearance and more desirable. Only a small fraction of Bibles (around 10%) contain red ruling.
The Poor Man’s Bible’s nickname came from the small format – median octavo (6 3/16 x 4 5/16 inches; 157×110 mm). Despite the relatively small size, the Bible exhibits the best craftsmanship of its time. It was printed in a new architectural design “rotunda,” that allowed Johannes Froben to produce printed pages of great clarity and neatness despite its small size.
This leaf is easily readable, and would look beautiful framed or on display.
