Item description from seller

Blind stamped contemporary vellum binding. Hand written title. Folio, 40 cm. Title in red and black, with printer's device. Engraved portrait of Louis Cappel. Collated: [24], 979, [11] pp. Printed in 2 columns. A few stray spots, generally clean and unmarked internally. "Cappel gained imperishable fame by his two books, 'Arcanum Punctationis Revelatum,' published anonymously by Thomas Erpenius, at Leyden, in 1624, and 'Critica Sacra,' printed at Paris, in 1650. In the 'Arcanum' he proved conclusively that the Hebrew text was first pointed after the Christian era, until which time it had been composed merely of consonants; in the 'Critica' he proved that not even the consonantal text had been transmitted without errors, but needed emendation with the help of the versions and of conjecture. It is to the lasting credit of Cappel that he was the first who dared to undertake, with exemplary clearness, penetration, and method, a purely philologic and scientific treatment of the text of the Bible." Crawford Howell Toy, Karl Heinrich Cornill; Jewish Encyclopedia, 1906. Signature of Thomas J. Conant, 1824. Conant was a noted American Biblical scholar. Gift inscription from Conant to the Newton Theological Seminary from 1827. This is an oversized or heavy book, that requires additional postage for international delivery outside the US.
