‎Later edition of Owen’s highly influential work on Psalm 130 also known as the ""De Profundis"" or ""Out of the Depths"". This work reflects Owen's commitment to both the rigorous study of Scripture and the practical application of biblical truths to the lives of believers. John Owen (1616-1683) was a prominent English theologian and minister in the Puritan tradition during the 17th century. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest theological minds in the Reformed tradition. Owen was born in Stadhampton, Oxfordshire, England, and he attended Queen's College, Oxford, where he studied classics and theology. Owen's theological writings covered a wide range of topics, including theology proper, soteriology, ecclesiology, and pneumatology. He was a staunch defender of Calvinism and Reformed theology, and he engaged in theological debates with various religious factions of his time, including Arminians and Socinians, two different branches of Pietism.‎

‎Third expanded edition of Pearson’s highly influential ‘Exposition of the Creed. First published in 1659 it remained on the the most influential works on the Apostles’ Creed in the Anglican Church throughout the 17th century. Pearson dedicated his work to his parishioners of St. Clement's, Eastcheap, where he had previously preached the essence of the work several years earlier. Regarding the Christian cross, he explained in his commentary on the Apostles' Creed that the Greek term stauros initially meant ""a straight standing Stake, Pale, or Palisador,"" but when additional transverse or prominent parts were added to form a perfect Cross, it still retained its original name. He asserted that ""The Form then of the Cross on which our Saviour suffered was not a simple, but a compounded, Figure, according to the Custom of the Romans, by whose Procurator he was condemned to die. In which there was not only a straight and erected piece of Wood fixed in the Earth, but also a transverse Beam fastened unto that towards the top thereof.""‎

‎The rare first complete Swedish translation of the Quran – also being the first translation in any Scandinavian language. “Between 1843 and 1967, four translations of the Quran were published in Scandinavia: three in Sweden, and one in Denmark. Prior to and during this period, theologians and philologists at Scandinavian universities had studied the Quran as part of their training in the Arabic language, and had translated parts of the text, first into Latin and then into the respective national languages. The first three Scandinavian translations of the Quran were into Swedish. The first of these translations, published in 1843, was done by Johan Fredrik Sebastian Crusenstolpe (1801– 1882). This was followed by the translation made by theologian and professor of Arabic literature, Carl Johannes Tornberg (1807– 1877) in 1874, and the one by Karl Vilhelm Zetterst (1866– 1953), a prominent Swedish professor of Semitic languages, which was published in 1917. Zetterst's translation has been republished several times and is still in use. In Danish, it was not until 1967 that a full translation of the Quran was published, by teacher Abdus Salam (Svend Åge) Madsen (1928– 2007), and in Norway it took another decade and a half before the first translation was published, by university lecturer Einar Berg (1921– 1995) in 1980.” (Eggen, On the Periphery, Translations of the Quran in Sweden, Denmark and Norway) Fredrik Crusenstolpe, a Swedish officer and diplomat, was known for his adventurous spirit and eccentricity. Crusenstolpe served in Tripoli, Tangier, Algiers and Lisbon. His translation emerged during a period of growing interest in the Middle East and North Africa among Scandinavia's cultural elite in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. While stationed in North Africa, Crusenstolpe developed a deep interest in the local people and their religion. However, securing financial support for the publication of his translation was challenging despite interest from a prominent publishing house. He ended up financing the project privately especially motivated by a personal desire to correct misconceptions about Prophet Muhammad in Swedish popular culture. To Crusenstolpe these misconceptions reflected not just ignorance about the Prophet but also a broader superstitious mentality he did not like. He portrayed the Muhammed as a rational ""Arabic founder of law"" aligning with Enlightenment-era European depictions of Muhammad. OCLC lists only four copies (Library of Congress, NY Public Library, Ohio State University & Cleveland Public Library).‎

‎"RENAN, ERNEST.‎

‎Vie de Jésus. - [PMM 352 - THE HISTORICAL CHRIST]‎

‎Paris, Michel Lévy Frères, 1863. Royal 8vo. Bound in a very nice contemporary red half calf with five raised bands to spine, blindstamped borders to compartments and gilt title. Light occassional brownspotting, but overall a very nice, clean and tight copy, in- as well as externally. With the half-title present (""Histoire des Origines du Christianisme. Livre premier""). (4), LIX, (1), 462 pp. + (1) leaf (colophon).‎

‎True first edition of this seminal classic on the life of Jesus, which caused an immediate scandal when it appeared - Renan's masterpiece, which constitudes the first attempt to write a biography of Jesus the man and strongly puts forth the notion that the Bible too can be subject to historical investigation and critical scrutiny. The work enraged the Roman Catholic Church but was an immediate success in most of Europe. ""In six months sixty thousand copies of the French edition had been sold and edition succeeded edition. Renan regarded the book as the first of a series on the ""Origins of Christianity"", which he continued with ""The Apostles"" (1866), ""Saint Paul"" (1869), ""The Anti-Christ"" (1873), ""The Gospels"" (1877), ""The Christian Church"" (1879) and ""Marcus Aurelius"" (1881) but none of these emulated the success of the ""Life of Jesus""... Immediate success was partly a ""succès de scandale"" but this would not have kept the book alive. It is Renan's approach to the subject and his beautiful prose that gave it lasting eminence."" (PMM 352). This groundbreaking work analyses the personality of the man Jesus, -a figure created by Renan out of his mind but based on historical sources. ""It is a pastoral idyll with the central figure a gentle, albeit oracular visionary, his power to work miracles a part of his unique personality -the son of man, but not the Son of God... In this great work it seems clear that the audience he has found was the one he sought: the general reading public rather than the limited coterie of scholars"" and there is no doubt of the fact or the degree of his success."" (PMM 352). ""C'est le livre plus célèbre d'Ernest Renan (1823-1892) et le premier volume de l'Hisoire des origines du Christianisme""... on peut considérer cette ""Vie de Jésus"" comme une oeuvre de vulgarisation: l'auteur cherche à déterminer ce qui, au point de vue ""scientifique"", est de créance dans la vie du Nazaréen?"" (Laffont-Bompiani IV:681). Apart from causing a world-wide scandal, the work was also a world-wide success, and no matter how many harsh words can be said about the historical and religious contents of the work, there is no doubt about the fact that it influenced the destiny of Catholocism decisively and that it is a masterpiece of 19th century French literature. It is very elegantly written and is renowned for its description of the historical setting, charming descriptions of sceneries, its penetrating psychological analysis and its overall style and class. ""Il faut ajouter que la ""Vie de Jésus"" compte au nombre des livres les mieux écrits de son temps"" le charme de la peinture des paysages, le pittoresque géneralement exact des évocations historiques, l'analyse pénétrante de l'âme des personnages, des seductions du style enfin, n'ont pas été pour rien dans le succès universel de cette oeuvre."" (Laffont-Bompiani IV:681). Ernest Renan (1823-1892) was a French philologist, philosopher and historian. His father died when he was aged five, and his mother wanted him to become a priest. Until he was about 16 years old, he was trained by the Church, but due to his investigative and truth-seeking nature as well as his studies (e.g. Hebrew), he was in doubt as to the historical truth of the Scriptures, and with the help of his sister he chose his own path in life. ""He studied intensively the languages of the Bible and filled a number of minor academic positions, frequently encountering difficulties because of the heterodoxy and outspokenness of his religious opinions."" (Printing and the Mind of Man 352). In 1840 he began studying philosophy and later philology, in 1847 he took his degree as Agrégé de Philosophie and became master at the Lycée of Vendome. After having returned from a mission to Italy in the year 1850 where he gathered material for his historical-philosophical masterpiece, ""Averroës et l'Averroisme"", he was offered employment at the ""Bibliothèque Nationale"" (at the manuscript department). In 1861 he was chosen to become professor of Hebrew at the Collège de France, but because the emperor refused to ratify the appointment (inspired by the Clerical party), he was not established in the chair untill 1870. In 1878 he was elected for the Academy. Renan is considered a scolar of the greatest excellence and an impressive writer.‎

‎An attractive sammelband containing various works all relating to Lutheran theology. Of special interest is Oswald Schlee’s commentary on Simeon’s Nunc dimittis or Song of Simeon from the Gospel of Luke, verses 29 through 32, printed in Rostock in 1613. It is of the utmost scarcity and we have not been able to trace a single work at auction and OCLC list no copies. Only mentioning of the work we have been able to trace is in Willer's ‘Catalogus Novus nundinarum Autumnalium', the Frankfurt Book Fair catalogue from 1613 (itself a great rarity). Oswald Schlee died on January 4th, 1613 so the present work was most likely his last and published posthumously. Schlee's ouevre is centered on “Trostschriften” (consolatory writings) and “Leichpredigten” (funeral sermons) dealing with themes of death, mourning, and Christian consolation. This present work, a biblical canticle expressing a devout man’s readiness for death after seeing the Messiah, is a fine concluding and representative work of Schlee's authorship. Oswald Schlee (1553 - 1613) was a German Lutheran clergyman and theologian. He began his studies at the University of Rostock in 1568 and around 1572 at the University of Jena under Justus Lipsius. In 1579, he earned his Master of Philosophy degree in Rostock. From 1577 to 1589, he was a deacon at the St. Peter's Church in Rostock. From 1589, he served at the St. Mary’s Church in Rostock, becoming Archdeacon until 1609, and from 1609 to 1613 he was the pastor and starting in 1610, also the city superintendent.‎
