Originally published in 1696 "Apparatus biblicus" is a development of the author's "Introduction à la Lecture de l'Ecriture Sainte" 1689. In this work he calls in question the historical character of the Book of Tobias and the Book of Judith and maintains that even after the Council of Trent a difference of authority should be recognized between the proto-canonical and deutero-canonical books of the Bible. This work examines also subjects such as the history of the Hebrews and the Holy Land a description of the Tabernacle and Temple a history of the scriptures and a great many tangential matters like the plants animals minerals diseases and customs mentioned in the Bible. Illustrated with thirty striking copper plates including frontispiece with a folding map of the known world. This work is divided into three parts: 1 Of the Origin History and Antiquities of the Jews; 2 Of the Canon; 3 Of the False Gods together with an Explanation of Scriptural Names. Many of the plates are folded and some depict the following views: Map of the World; Noah's Ark; the Tower of Babel; Map of the Holy Land; Plan of the Ancient City of Jerusalem; the Ark of the Covenant; the Temple; the High Priest; the Great Sanhedrim; etc. Head and tail of spine chipped. Rubbing along edges of binding. Front hinge starting but front board still firmly attached. Minor to moderate age-toning/foxing to very first and very last pages.

FINE CONTEMPORARY RED MOROCCO GILT covers panelled with gilt fillets accented with fleuron acorn and scallop tools raised bands spine compartments densely gilt with similar tools red morocco label marbled endpapers all edges gilt probably with some very facile repairs to top and bottom of joints and spine. Front pastedown with the armorial bookplate of the dedicatee Henry Grey Duke of Kent dated 1713 and with the armorial ex-libris of Robert Offley Ashburton Crewe-Milnes Marquess of Crewe; front free endpaper with engraved armorial bookplate of Thomas Philip Earl de Grey see below for all. Dibdin II 385; Mackenzie "The Cambridge University Press 1696-1712" I 273-76. ◆Front joint with thin crack at head and tail covers with darkish splotches obvious but somehow not overly offending with antique morocco like this other very minor signs of use but the binding still extremely pleasing as a grand specimen for an important dedicatee. A MOST ATTRACTIVE COPY INTERNALLY especially clean and fresh with only negligible imperfections. This is the stately dedication copy of Wasse's monumental edition of Sallust in its original handsome unrestored binding. Described by Dibdin as "an excellent edition . . . the merits of which have long been acknowledged by the literary world" our version was prepared by Wasse after consulting nearly 80 manuscripts including "some very ancient editions." A huge undertaking it spent five years in the press. Oxford Antiquary Thomas Hearne mentioned it in his "Remarks" amazed that "Mr. Wasse . . . has so swell'd his Salust sic . . . with Notes" that "his Index will be upwards of 20 sheets"; in fact the Index consumes 84 leaves 21 quires. The text of the present volume contains the only two extant historical works of Sallust 86-34 B.C. which are his history of the conspiracy of Catiline against the senate in the year Cicero was consul and his history of the Roman war against the Numidian Algerian chieftain Jugurtha brought to its conclusion by the great soldier and populist politician Marius. As a stylist Sallust has enjoyed great fame for his artistic and epigrammatic speeches with their vividly delineated characters. A fellow of Queen's College Cambridge Joseph Wasse 1672-1738 served as chaplain to the Marquess later Duke of Kent Henry Grey 1671-1740 to whom he dedicated this work. The handsome binding is of very high quality and is decorated in the Cambridge style by an unknown binder of that city. Grey was a courtier who held a number of prominent positions: under Queen Anne he served as Lord Chamberlain of the Household and Knight of the Garter and as one of the Lords Justices Regents of the Realm upon her death; under George I he was Lord of the Bedchamber Lord Steward of the Household and Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal. Our volume was passed down in his family through the line of his granddaughter Jemima Campbell Marchioness Grey to Thomas Philip de Grey 2nd Earl de Grey 1781-1859 an amateur architect who rebuilt the family seat Wrest Park in Bedfordshire. He became the first president of the Royal Institute of British Architects. It was later in the 24000-volume library of the politician Robert Crewe-Milnes 1858-1945 Marquess of Crewe.
