A fine copy in contemporary vellum few annotations in an early hand. First Edition.

1700réf. 34727à Paris: chez Jean Anisson 1700. Fine. chez Jean Anisson à Paris 1700 8.50 x 16.20 cm relié First edition. Contemporary full sheep binding. Spine with raised bands decorated. Red morocco title label. Lacking at lower headcap. Joint cracked at foot for 1cm. Corners slightly bumped. The first leaf is blank. Collation consistent with the Oxford copy. The first flagellants appeared in the eleventh century and the movement gained renewed vigor during the Black Death in Europe thus reaching its peak during the fourteenth century. This movement was rapidly condemned by the church as heretical and millenarian. The movement quickly became anarchic and a threat to order both of the church and of society. The pope delivered them to the inquisition in 1349 and the King of France Philip V banned the flagellants under penalty of death. chez Jean Anisson hardcover
