This being volume six in the monumental 12 volumes set of commentaries upon the book of Job. With some minor marks or light reading wear commensurate with age else a sound, complete copy. With a very early signature to the title of Edward Hall, 1609. to the title page. The blank end paper also documents further Hall family ownership through to Anthony Hall, 1897. Highly praised by Charles Spurgeon in his Commenting & Commentaries . Caryl must have inherited the patience of Job to have completed his stupendous task. It would be a mistake to suppose that he is at all prolix or redundant; he is only full. In the course of his expounding he has illustrated a very large portion of the whole Bible with great clearness and power. He is deeply devotional and spiritual. He gives us much, but none too much. His work can scarcely be superseded or surpassed . Bound in an attractive later polished tree calf binding with gilt border. Spine with gilt décor and lettering. Joints lightly cracked but still reasonably firm and well attached. An attractive binding. MULTIPLE ADDITIONAL PHOTO IMAGES AVAILABLE. CONTACT US TO REQUEST.
