Ordered from Christopher Edwards, D9466, 2021-04-15, Selections from the library of Brian Findlay Part II: English books, M-Z, List 81, item #32. From dealer's description: "[NUMAN, Philippe.] MIRACLES LATELY VVROUGHT by the intercession of the glorious Virgin Marie, at Mont-aigu, nere vnto Siché in Brabant. Gathered out of the publik instruments, and informations taken thereof. By authoritie of the Lord Archbishop of Maclin. Translated out of the French copie into English by M. Robert Chambers priest, and confessor of the English religious Dames in the citie of Bruxelles. Printed at Antwarp, by Arnold Conings. 1606. Cum priuilegio. £1,250 8vo, pp. [lxxxvi], 153, 158-296, [1] privilege, [1] errata; complete and text continuous despite the pagination jump at p. 153; worming in last two gatherings, affecting the text but the sense not lost; a few gatherings rather browned, otherwise a good copy in old calf (probably 18th century), rebacked, gilt lettering piece. First edition in English, translated from the work written in both Flemish and French by Philippe (or Philips) Numan, published at Brussels in 1604. The translator was the English priest Robert Chambers (1571- 1628), who contributes a very long dedication to James I. Chambers came from Yorkshire but had spent almost all his life on the continent, including periods in Rheims and at the English College in Rome; in 1599 he had been appointed confessor to the Benedictine convent of English nuns at Brussels. ODNB suggests that publication of this book might have been arranged by Richard Verstegan. STC 18746; Allison & Rogers, Counter-Reformation, II 130. Provenance. Early inscription on title page of Mary Dormer, almost certainly mid-to-late 17th century. She could well be from the family of Robert Lord Dormer (1551-1616), whose grandson (also Robert) was brought up a Catholic and became Earl of Carnarvon in 1628. A zealous Royalist, he died at the first battle of Newbury in 1643: Mary was very probably related in some way, and may have been a nun in the Brussels house. There was another Mary Dormer (daughter of Charles, 5th Lord Dormer), who joined the Franciscan nuns at Bruges: she lived 1707-75, but the signature seems too early to be hers." From dealer's description: "Also with the engraved bookplate of the Inner Library, bequeathed by Thomas Eyre in 1792. A Catholic who lived at Hassop in Derbyshire, Eyre left his ‘Inner Library’ to the Bishop of the Midland District, for the use of the Catholic priests of the area: his executors, William Wakeman and Vincent Eyre, are named on the bookplate as well. The library remained intact for almost two centuries, latterly in the care of St Hugh’s College, Tollerton Hall, until it was sold at Sotheby’s in 1972. The earlier history of this library is of considerable interest, for Eyre had inherited many of his books from his uncle, Henry Widdrington (d. 1774), which had in turn come to him from his mother Jane, née Tempest, who had died in 1714. The Tempests were an old Catholic famly and her father was Sir Thomas Tempest (d. 1692), fourth baronet, who had himself inherited a significant library of books and manuscripts that had come into the family collection in the previous century. As Ian Doyle relates in his article about the Tempest library, several of the books and manuscripts had come from Durham Cathedral Priory, apparently through two monks who were there at the time of the Dissolution, Stephen and Nicholas Marley: Agnes Marley, their sister, married Nicholas Tempest (d. 1539), ancestor of the Tempest baronets. There is thus a long succession of Catholics in the Tempest-Widdrington-Eyre family passing down recusant books and manuscripts, stretching back from 1792 to the early 16th century. See A.I. Doyle, ‘The Library of Sir Thomas Tempest: its origins and dispersal’ in Studies in Seventeenth-century English literature, history and bibliography (T.A. Birrell Festschrift), Amsterdam, 1984, pp. 83-93. Bought: from Bygone Books, in 1985, for £80."
