Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. 'A Commentary Upon The First Book of Moses Called GENESIS' ~ by Symon, Lord Bishop of Ely (Symon Patrick D.D); pub by Richard Chilwell, St Paul's Church-Yard, London 1695; 100% text is in English, full original calf with 4 raised bands with title printed in gilt on a red leather path, small 4to - 6 ½" x 7 ¾"; inside front cover has part of an old book mark - the other part has been ripped out; also a name hand written in ink; on the page opposite title page is printed 'Imprimatur: Jo. Cant. Lambethae Mall 26 1694'; following the title page is 'The Preface' for 6 pps dated 'April 10 1694'; then follow 'An Advertisement' for 1 pp followed by 'Errata' 1pp; then commences p1 of the book finishing on p650 and followed by 3pps of 'Books Written by Simon Patrick DD'; then the end paper and back cover. Both inside front & back hinges are slightly exposed, the front being slightly weaker than the back one; but both are attached with strong thread. There is some damage to top and bottom of the spine , also a small piece of leather is missing on the right side of the spine part way up - note this on the photos - and all corners are bruised; also the covers are a bit scuffed. There is browning and foxing to the first and later pps but the body of the book seems to be mainly free. I have checked for any copies of this edition that may be for sale, but don't seem to find any at all - so conclude that this book is scarce - unless proven wrong! Listed in Wing p772.
