Unrecorded Conversation Starters

[ALBUM.]

The Conversational Album. For recreative Instruction and Amusement. London, Simpkin, Marshall, & Co.,

An amusing late-Victorian book of printed conversation starters for both ladies and gentlemen, completed in manuscript by members of the Backhouse, Mounsey, Richardson, and Barclay families of Darlington and Sunderland. Darlington had a particularly high Quaker population, especially active in banking and local politics, but also in natural sciences; Backhouse’s Bank, founded in 1774, would later merge with Gurney’s and Barclays to become what is now Barclays Bank.

The Inglis–Heber Copy

[GILBY, Anthony, translator.]

The Testaments of the twelve Patriarches, the Sonnes of Jacob: translated out of Greeke into Latine by Robert Grosthed … and out of hys copye into French and Dutch by Others: now Englished by A. G. …

Fourth edition (first 1574), very rare, of the first English translation of the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, a piece of Biblical apocrypha probably composed in the first or second century CE detailing the supposed dying commands of the sons of Jacob. The work survived in a number of Greek manuscripts, one of which is the ‘auncient Greeke copye written in parchment … in the University Library of Cambridge’ referred to on the title-page (now MS Ff.1.24), brought from the library of Michael Choniates in Athens in c. 1240 at the request of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln. Grosseteste’s Latin translation introduced the work to Western Europe, and proved very popular – from it various vernacular renditions followed.
