An early Matthew Bible dating to 1551 and interesting cookery books are expected to star at a books, coins and stamps auction in Shropshire next week.
Halls Fine Art’s books specialist Chris Moore has assembled 137 lots of books, manuscripts, maps and autographs for the Shrewsbury auction on Wednesday, March 20.
“The Matthew Bible is rare and 1551 is an early example,” said Chris. “Bibles of this age are nearly always defective because they were literally read to pieces. “Thomas Matthew is taken to be the pseudonym of John Rogers, Tyndale's intimate friend, who printed this version. Rogers was burnt at the stake in 1555.”
Kidder was the first proprietor of a cookery school in England and is credited with the first recipe for puff pastry. His book is described by late British writer, collector, and historian Eric Quayle, as “much sought-after” and “undoubtedly, one of the most interesting of the pre-1750 cook books”. “There are striking similarities in the handwriting of the Iowa copy and the copy in our auction,” explained Chris. “Furthermore, a manuscript copy in the library of the University of Pennsylvania also has very similar handwriting.
