In Latin. 180 x 120 x 75 mm. Pages: [32], 1-783, [1]. Collation: +16, A8-3C8. Printed on very good quality thick paper. Minor foxing on first two leaves and a few others. 8 leaves (pages 641-656) are browned. Apparently that one sheet was printed on different paper. Large copperplate engraved vignette on title page. Full leather binding with leather label on spine with gilt letters. 11 exquisite folding copperplate engraving (A. Luciani, sculpt) in clear, crisp, pristine impressions: a map of the Holy Land, a map of Europe, Africa, and Asia, a plan of Jerusalem, a page of tabernacle images, fine temple rendition (original to the author), detailed temple plan, priest with garments, rabbi with phylacteries (tefillin), and 3 charts of coinage and measurements. 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 Bernard Lamy, a renowned member of the French Order of the Oratorians, a mathematician and theologian, who was forced into exile for teaching Descartes’ philosophy, disputes, contrary to the position of the Catholic church and the Council of Trent, the historical character of the book of Tobias and book of Judith. This study also examines such subjects as the history of the Hebrews and the Holy Land, the description of the Tabernacle and Temple, the history of the scriptures, and a great many tangential matters like the plants, animals, minerals, diseases, and customs mentioned in the Bible. Decorative headpieces, tailpieces and initials. He continued to deal with mathematical sciences, perspective and especially mechanical physics. At the same time, he continued writing canonical and biblical treatises. Lamy studied at Le Mans, the Maison d'Institution in Paris and in Saumur, in 1658 he joined the Oratorians, became a classical teacher in Vendome in 1661, and after a few years at Le Mans he became a professor of philosophy. He was dismissed at the instigation of the rector Rebous in 1675 on account of his Cartesian views. His superiors then sent him to Grenoble, where he was able to continue his philosophy courses under the protection of Cardinal Le Camus. In 1686 he went back to Paris to the Saint Magloire seminar and in 1689 to Rouen, where he spent his retirement. It was translated into French by Abbé de Bellegarde (Paris, 1697) and Abbé Boyer (Lyon, 1709).…
