NA Leaf from a 1638 Musical Psalter - The 23rd Psalm
London Robert Barker 1638 Leaf Very Good 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
The 23rd Psalm from a scarce metrical psalter bound together with a Barker King James Bible. This version of the psalm has different phrasing than that found in the King James Version of the Bible. The Old Testament Psalms were often collected together in a type of devotional book known as a psalter, which usually also contained a Church calendar, canticles, prayers, and important New Testament verses. Frequently they were bound together with Bibles. Metrical psalters paraphrased these verses into poetry meant to be sung as hymns in church.

NA Leaf from a 1639 King James Version (KJV) Bible - Ecclesiastes 3 - "To every thing there is a season . . ."
London Robert Barker 1639 Leaf Very Good 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall
Verses in this leaf run from Ecclesiastes 1:17 through 5:19. Includes Ecclesiastes 3, "To every thing there is a season . . . ." In 1604, King James called a conference at Hampton Court to settle various religious grievances throughout the kingdom. There, Dr. John Rainolds convinced him that a new translation of the Bible was required because those that currently being printed "were corrupt and not answerable to the truth of the original." James readily agreed, as he found the then popular Geneva Bible greatly offensive, and gave the new translators specific instructions, designed to ensure it would conform to the ecclesiology of the Church of England. 54 unpaid scholars worked on the translation, and when it was completed, the original printing of the KJV was published by Robert Barker in 1611. A copy of the title page and finis from this 1639 KJV Bible will be included with this leaf.

And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters. . . ."

Riggs, Alfred L. (Probable Author) Anpetu Iyohi Wacekiyapi (Week of Prayer)
Santee, Nebraska Alfred L. Riggs 1906 First Edition Pamphlet Very Good 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall
For January 7-13 1906. Stiff card, printed on one side. Clean and toned. "Week of Prayer" in pencil above the printed Dakota title. Alfred L. Riggs, a Congregationalist minister, was the son of Stephen Return Riggs, an early missionary to the Souix in Minnesota. Following the end of the Sioux War, Riggs moved with the Santee (one of the tribes exiled from Minnesota) in 1866 to Nebraska where he established the famous Santee Normal Training School. The school accepted students from throughout the Great Plains and at its peak consisted of 18 buildings and 480 acres of land with an enrollement of over 200. It offered both academic courses and vocational training. As a linguist, Riggs believed that it was important to teach in the Dakota language to preserve the culture's way of thought and world view. Despite pressure from the federal government to promote assimilation by forcing the use of English, the school continued to conduct religious services and study in Dakota and printed a number of Bibles, tracts, and study guides, which played a major role in keeping the language alive.
