Scarce life of Paolo Sarpi by his disciple Fulgenzio Micanzio 1570-1654. Sarpi 1552-1623 Venetian scholar church reformer and patriot was the author of several works of which the most important is his 'Istoria del Concilio Tridentio' first published in Italian London 1619 with an English translation by Brent in the following year and a French edition by Elzevier in 1661. It was his approach to treat ecclesiastical history in the manner of politics; 'a kind of Anglican picture of the debates and decisions' Hay. His contempt for the Curia made him popular with Protestants; Milton refers to him as 'the great unmasker'. Prudently Sarpi never acknowledged his authorship of the work despite the efforts of Louis II to extract his admission. Willems p.217 n.876. Jean de Ravenstein, Amsterdam, hardcover

An important account of one of the key periods in the history of the Carthusians in London. In 1535 when the majority of Carthusians refused the Oath of Supremacy Chauncy was one of the few to concede an act that he was never thereafter able to reconcile with his conscience. With the accession of Queen Mary hopes for a Catholic restoration were revived and Chauncy was elected prior of a small gathering of monks at Sheen but the dramatic events of 1558 forced them to flee to Bruges. After many relocations in the Low Countries Chancy died at Bruges in 1581. His vivid account of the martyrdom of most of his fellow London Carthusians supported by graphic almost gruesome plates showing the various forms of torture and execution was evidently one attempt at restoring his faith. Very scarce. Burns & Oates, hardcover

1802réf. 7253H. Mozley Gainsborough 1802. 12mo. wanting front free endpaper some light age-staining mid-nineteenth-century doodles on rear endpapers; contemporary full sheep covers mildly scuffed and age-marked hinges cracked but binding entirely sound a good tight copy. First published in 1712 Lewis's 'Catechism' was swiftly recognised as a valuable aid to the teaching of scripture and liturgy. Dedicated to the SPCK it seems to have become a standard tool of the newly-formed charity schools where pupils were regularly assessed on their prowess in responding to the vicar's catechism. Symson's letters reveal that the text that guided their learning was Lewis's; one of three books the others being the Bible itself and Allestree's 'The Whole Duty of Man' that White Kennett of the SPCK hoped would help turn young children into 'little garrisons against Popery'. See Jones 'The Charity School Movement' 1995 p.14. John Lewis 1675-1747 was educated at Exeter College Oxford ordained in 1698 and served as vicar of Minster in Kent from 1709 until his death interestingly he is given on the title of the present edition as 'Minister of Margate in Kent'. His works include biographies of Wycliffe Caxton and Pecock valuable topographical studies of Kent and numerous contributions to religious history and bibliography.This Lincolnshire edition must be unusually scarce for we can find no reference to it in any standard source. J Mozley is the first recorded printer at Gainsborough where he established his press in 1778. Henry Mozley the present printer appears to have succeeded him sometime in the late 1790s.

First published in two volumes in 1697 the collection was an immediate success and quickly became a liturgical standard. The first Simeon edition as here increased the work's popularity and was many times reissued throughout the nineteenth century. Charles Simeon himself was a leading activist in the overseas missionary movement. F C and J Rivington [and many others], hardcover
