Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. [18th century Pennsylvania Binding, Germantown Imprint] Bound by Christopher Hoffmann in contemporary brown calf over wooden boards. Blind ruled, coner fleurons, brass corner bosses. Lacking clasps. 4to, 21 x 17 cm. All edges red. [viii]. 785, [3] pp. "This work, which was first, posthumously, printed in 1672, reflects the religious views of the Schwenkfelders. In typography, paper, and binding, this reprint â at the expense of United Friendsâ is a very creditable piece of bookmaking." - Evans 23975. Christopher Hoffmann of Philadelphia County. He was a Schwenkfelder minister as well as a binder, and much of the work was for his congregation. The tools he used to make blind-stamped decorations were unlike those of his German contemporaries; they may have been acquired second-hand from an Irish source. Refs: Maser 16a; Papantonio 9. Arndt 803. Anabaptist tract.
