The History of the Original and Progress of Ecclesiastical Revenues. Wherein is Handled According to the Laws, Both Ancient and Modern, Whatsoever Concerns Matters Beneficial, The Regale, Investitures, Nominations, And Other Rights Attributed to Princes. Written in French by a Learned Priest. And Now Done into English. London: Printed for Henry Faithorne and John Kersey, 1685. [xvi], 271, [1] pp. Octavo (7" x 4-1/2"; 17.78 x 11.43 cm). Contemporary sheep, blind rules and corner fleurons to boards, rebacked in period style with blind fillets to spine, blind tooling to board edges, edges of text block rouged, marbled pastedowns, free endpapers clipped. Rubbing and some shallow scratches to boards, light rubbing to extremities, corners bumped and worn, hinges cracked, later armorial bookplate (of John Percival Earl of Egmont, 1736) to front pastedown, shelfmarks in ink and pencil to front endleaf, light edgewear to rear endleaf. Light toning to interior, later faint ink owner stamp ("Rev'd A.L. Green/ Library") and early ink annotation to title page, light foxing to a few leaves. $350. * Only English edition. This critical work was originally published in Frankfurt in 1684 as Histoire de l'Origine & Du Progres des Revenues Ecclesiastiques. This anonymous translation was clearly intended to criticize laws concerning tithes to support the Church of England. According to the preface, "this work" is worth reading because it "plainly discovers what good Use the Ecclesiastics have made of the Pious Inclinations of the Laity, to their own Advantage." The owner is very likely the pioneering Jewish preacher and bibliophile Aaron Levy Green (1821-1883) of London. Green was "eminent as minister of the Central Synagogue, London" (The Jewish Encyclopedia (1907), III: 388). Much of his impressive library went to the London School of Jewish Studies (Karen Attar, A Directory of Rare Book and Special Collections in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (2016), p. 204).
