‎Rare second folio-edition of Boys’s collected works first published in 1622 – allegedly being the earliest theological book to contain a section in Thanksgiving for the failure of the Gunpowder Plot"" pp. 779-90 (Maggs, 1943). This present second edition was the basis for the 1854 photolithographed reprint. “Boys himself compiled a one-volume edition of his works in 1622, which included his systematic sermonic exposition of the church’s prescribed lectionary—a ten year project. It also included five miscellaneous sermons, and eleven books of postils first published between 1609-1617. The postils were so popular that they were reissued at least a dozen times in the first decade. The SDG reprint is photolithographed from an 1854 edition published in New York by Stanford and Swords, which is based on a 1629 London edition. It contains Boys’s exposition of Scripture passages used in the services of Morning and Evening Prayer and Holy Communion in The Book of Common Prayer, as well as his writings on the Psalms, expositions on the epistles and gospels, and comments on the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Ten Commandments. Spurgeon said Boys was “one of the richest of writers,” being “all essence.” Indeed, Boys’s writing is lively, witty, clear, and profound. He made complex doctrine plain and practical.” (Beeke & Pedersen, Meet the Puritans) John Boys (1571–1625) was an English churchman and theologian who served as the Dean of Canterbury Cathedral. He was a prominent figure in the Church of England during the early 17th century. Boys is best known for his extensive writings on theology and biblical commentary, particularly his work ""An Exposition of the Dominical Epistles and Gospels Used in Our English Liturgie"" (1622). This work provided detailed explanations and interpretations of the biblical passages used in the Anglican liturgy, aimed at assisting clergy and laypeople in understanding and applying these texts to their lives. Boys was highly regarded for his scholarship and theological insights, and his works were widely read and influential within the Church of England during his lifetime and beyond. His works were translated into German in 1683, and again in two volumes in 1685. It was reprinted in English in 1997 taken from 1854-edition published by Stanford and Swords, New York.‎

Light soiling and wear to extremities. Previous owner name (Petrus Jacobi Holmius) to title-page. Neat marginal annotations in contemporary hand throughout, otherwise nice and clean. (16), 324 pp.‎

‎The uncommon first edition of Buxtorf’s work on the tradition of the Masoretes of Tiberias. Here Buxtorf discusses various aspects of Tiberias, including its geographical, historical, and cultural significance. Intended as the supplement to his famous Biblia Rabbinica the present work gained fame and acknowledgment in its own right.The work is structured into three sections: Commentary on the Masorah, Key of the Masorah, and Critical Commentary. While Buxtorf maintains the belief that the Masoretic text represents the authentic version of the Bible, he embraces Levita's groundbreaking theory asserting that the masoretic vocalization and cantillation marks originated with Ezra and the Men of the Great Assembly. ""Tiberias was the first Latin language introduction to biblical scholarship, and its paratextual elements, and the Masoretic apparatus"" (The Oxford Handbook of Early Modern Theology, 1600-1800, edited by U.L. Lehner et al., 2016). ""Tiberias is Buxtorf’s fullest and most impressive work on the history of the biblical text. He conceived it as the first of four proposed guides to the four parts of the Basel rabbinical Bible edition: Hebrew text, Targums, rabbinical Bible commentaries and Masora."" (Burnett). Tiberias holds importance in Jewish history, particularly during the period of the Talmudic and post-Talmudic eras. The city is located on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee and is associated with the development of Jewish traditions and scholarship. While Buxtorf is perhaps more famous for his Hebrew lexicons and grammatical works, ""Tiberias, sive Commentarius"" reflects his broader interest in Jewish history and culture, specifically focusing on a city that played a notable role in the development of Jewish learning and tradition. Johann Buxtorf (1564-1629), the ""Master of the Rabbis,"" despite being a Protestant, was a Hebrew professor at the University of Basel for thirty-nine years. Upon his death, his position passed to his son Johann, known as Buxtorf the Younger (1599-1664), and then to his grandson, Johann Jakob (1645-1704). Throughout his life, he worked on the Masoretic text of the Old Testament, largely established by the Tiberian School in the 9th century. This text defined the authoritative biblical canon within Judaism and served as a reference for most Protestant and Catholic translations of the Old Testament. Buxtorf's work was enlarged and expanded by his son Johannes Buxtorf the Younger, in a second edition printed in 1665.‎

‎Rare first edition of these two work by Calixtus, the first work being a fine representation of his general theological viewpoints" creating unity and understanding among Christians, Protestants as well as Catholics. In this work he is trying to harmonizing the four Gospels and reconcile apparent discrepancies among the Gospel and providing explanations for unclear passages found within them. Georg Calixtus (Or Georg Calixt or Georg Callisen, 1586-1656), was a German Lutheran theologian and philosopher. He is best known for his attempts to reconcile Protestant denominations and for his efforts to bridge the gap between Protestantism and Catholicism during the post-Reformation era. His approach, known as syncretism, sought to find agreement among various Christian denominations on essential theological points while allowing for diversity in non-essential matters. However, Calixtus's views were controversial within the Lutheran community of his time. He faced opposition from more conservative theologians who viewed his efforts as compromising essential doctrines. Despite this, at times fierce, opposition Calixtus's ideas influenced later theological movements and contributed to the development of ecumenical dialogue between different Christian traditions.‎

‎Later edition of Chemniz’ collected works. Chemniz had lectured on Melanchthon's 'Loci Communes' from which lectures he compiled his own 'Loci Theologici', a system of theology (the first three parts of the present book). Martin Chemnitz (1522–1586) was a German Lutheran theologian and reformer who played a significant role in the development of Lutheran doctrine during the 16th century. He is often referred to as the ""Second Martin"" after Martin Luther, due to his prominence within the Lutheran tradition. Chemnitz is best known for his extensive work in systematizing Lutheran theology to which this present work is a fine example. He was a key figure in resolving theological controversies that arose after Luther's death and played a crucial role in shaping the direction of the Lutheran Reformation after Luther.‎

‎The rare first edition – here with a most interesting Royal provenance - of Cohen’s seminal work, being the first comprehensive work on the history of Jews in Denmark.The book examines the impact of legal enactments on their emancipation, tracing their status from being permitted to settle in Denmark in 1684 to gaining full Danish citizenship in 1814. From the stamp on the title-page we know this copy has been part of Fredericia's Garrison Library. Prince Frederik, Later King Frederik VII was banished by his farther-in-law, King Frederik VI to Fredericia because of his scandalous behaviour towards his wife, princess Vilhemine, the youngest daughter of the King.

‎Third edition of Davenant's most important and influential theological work. This classic on Colossians, which includes a biography of Davenant and copious notes by Josiah Allport, minister of St. James’s, Birmingham (who also translated it from Latin in 1831), is based on lectures given to students at Cambridge. Davenant's work delves into the initial two chapters of Paul's letter and offers detailed interpretations and practical insights, examining every part of Colossians with exegetical and homiletical commentary. It was presented during his commencement to the post of Theology Professor at Cambridge. “James Hervey said of this commentary, “For perspicuity of style and accuracy of method" for judgment in discerning and fidelity in representing the Apostle’s meaning for strength of argument in refuting errors, and felicity of invention in deducing practical doctrines, tending both to the establishment of faith and the cultivation of holiness, it is inferior to no writing of the kind and richly deserves to be read, to be studied, to be imitated, by our young divines.” Charles Bridges said, “I know no exposition upon a detached portion of Scripture (with the single exception of Owen on the Hebrews) that will compare with it in all points.” (Beeke, Meet the Puritans). John Davenant (1572-1641) was an English academic and bishop of Salisbury from 1621. Educated at Queens College, Cambridge, he was elected a fellow there in 1597, and served as its President from 1614 to 1621. From 1609 onward, he served as the Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity, from which he was called away by James I to represent the Church of England at the Synod of Dort in 1618, along with Samuel Ward, Joseph Hall and George Carleton. The first edition was published in Cambridge in 1627, the second in 1630, and the present third in 1639. Provenance: from a large Danish estate.‎

‎Exceedingly rare first edition of this classic which “stands like a milestone in the history of the English funeral sermons” (Houlbrooke, English Preachers Gathered in the House of Mourning).Patrick Collinson, historian of English puritanism, described it as “a kind of apotheosis” of the genre and is considered one of the most significant contribution to the literature on mourning and spirituality in the 17th century. “Printed funeral sermons grew in popularity in the seventeenth century" between 100 and 200 had been printed by 1647, with only 20 known to have been printed in the Elizabethan era. Their output increased from then until the turn of the eighteenth century. Funeral sermons were usually printed singly, although in 1647 a collection of 47 funeral sermons by eminent preachers was printed, entitled Threnoikos: The House of Mourning , demonstrating the popular place of the funeral sermon in the seventeenth century as a guide to leading an exemplary life, preparing for death, meditating on the next life, and responding to the death of loved ones.6 Funeral sermons thus held an important place in the memento mori tradition, and equally in the literature of exemplary reading for women. A higher proportion of funeral sermons for women were reprinted than those for men, making these interesting sources of conceptions of female piety.” (Molekamp, Femke. “Seventeenth-Century Funeral Sermons and Exemplary Female Devotion: Gendered Spaces and Histories.”) Funeral sermons in 17th century England were integral to the religious, cultural, and social fabric of the time, reflecting the prevailing beliefs, values, and practices surrounding death and mourning. Through their thematic richness, rhetorical eloquence, and pastoral sensitivity, these sermons provided comfort, guidance, and spiritual sustenance to the bereaved while reaffirming the central tenets of Christian faith. As artifacts of religious discourse and cultural expression, funeral sermons offer valuable insights into the diverse ways in which early modern English society grappled with life, death, and the afterlife.‎

‎Fine copy of this later edition of two of Jesephus' most important works. The later work is a translation of a Latin christological version of Josephus' De bello Judaico, dating from ca. 367-374 A.D. It is of uncertain authorship but cited as the work of ""Hegesippus"" or ""Egesippus."" It was transmitted among the works of and sometimes attributed to Ambrose, Bishop of Milan Titus Flavius Josephus was a first-century Romano-Jewish historian who was born in Jerusalem. He fought against the Romans during the First Jewish–Roman War as head of Jewish forces in Galilee, but surrendered in 67 CE to Roman forces led by Vespasian. After Vespasian became Emperor in 69 CE, he granted Josephus his freedom, at which time Josephus assumed the emperor's family name of Flavius. Josephus recorded Jewish history, with special emphasis on the first century CE and the First Jewish–Roman War (66–70 CE), including the Siege of Masada. His most important works were The Jewish War (c. 75) and Antiquities of the Jews (c. 94). The Jewish War recounts the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation. Antiquities of the Jews recounts the history of the world from a Jewish perspective for an ostensibly Greek and Roman audience. These works provide valuable insight into first century Judaism and the background of Early Christianity, although not specifically mentioned by Josephus. Josephus' works are the chief source next to the Bible for the history and antiquity of ancient Palestine. For centuries Josephus' works were more widely read in Europe than any book other than the Bible. They are an invaluable eye-witness to a momentous turning point in Judaism, Christianity, and Western civilization. The present edition was first published in 1569. Graesse III, Pp. 481-482‎

‎Rare first Dutch translation of Thomas Goodwin’s collected theological works. Thomas Goodwin (1600–1680) was a prominent English Puritan theologian. Goodwin was known for his deep Calvinist theology, practical spirituality, and emphasis on the application of scripture in Christian life. He served as chaplain to Oliver Cromwell, and was appointed by Parliament as President of Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1650. Christopher Hill places Goodwin in the ""main stream of Puritan thought"". “Most of Goodwin’s theological writings were written when he was older and were published after he died. His large corpus reveals a pastoral and scholarly zeal that is rivaled by few Puritans.” (Beeke, Meet the Puritans).‎

‎"GUNNERUS, JOHANN ERNST.‎

‎Beweis von der Wirklichkeit und Enigkeit Gottes aus der Verhuft. - [""ONE OF THE FOUNDING FARTHERS OF MODERN NORWEGIAN CULTURE""]‎

‎First edition of this exceedingly rare philosophical treatise aiming to demonstrate the existence and unity of God through rational argumentation – a fine early example of Scandinavian Enlightenment philosophy. In this work Gunnerus critiques and builds upon traditional arguments for God's existence, such as those by Anselm and Descartes. He uses a logical method, referencing thinkers like Wolff, Leibniz, Darjes, and Descartes, as well as critics of Wolffian philosophy including Joachim Lange and Christian August Crusius. “Although recognized by scholars of eighteenth-century Danish-Norwegian cultural and political history as an influential figure in the Norwegian Enlightenment, with impressive transnational connections, Johan Ernst Gunnerus (1718– 1773) receives scant mention outside the Norwegian discourse in discussions on the siècle des lumières. His influence and accomplishments, especially in the context of eighteenth-century ecclesiastical politics, as well as his scholarly explorations in diverse disciplines, distinguish him as one of the founding fathers of modern Norwegian culture. Born in Christiania, the son of a physician, Gunnerus’ intellectual preoccupation extended beyond theology.2 In line with the decree issued by King Christian VI in 1741 that all Danish-Norwegian theology students study at the University of Halle, Germany, which was a centre of multiple influences, such as the Protestant Reformation, Pietism and German Enlightenment, Gunnerus also attended lectures on natural history and law upon enrolling at the university in 1742. In 1744, he moved to Jena, where he graduated, worked as a tutor, and eventually, in 1753, became an adjunct there at the Department of Philosophy. However, within a year he left for Denmark, where he first became a pastor, then appointed professor in Copenhagen and eventually bishop in Norway, at a time when the entire country had a total of only four bishops and 480 pastors.3 From 1758 to 1773, Gunnerus served as bishop in Trondheim and became, in 1760, one of the founders of the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters. In all these areas, he maintained close contact with diverse circles of Continental scholars, and not just with those he had known during his time in Halle and Jena. As such, he can be considered an important agent of cultural transfer between Norway and mainland Europe, and vice versa.”( Stengel, Johan Ernst Gunnerus and the Quest for the Soul in the Eighteenth Century). Exhibited as no. 40 in the Danish Bibliophile Association's 60s Anniversary Exhibition.‎
