First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fair. First edition. Full brown leather cover, with five raised bands to spine. 158 x 207 x 40mm. 588pp. Includes list of Errata on final page. Cover shows many stains, marks and minor scuffs, but nevertheless remains strong overall, with hinges still sound; the severest damage is at bottom of spine, where a piece of leather, c. 1.5cm x 1.5cm, is almost detached; title-labels are missing from spine; no leaves before half-title page, where there is a previous owner name (J. F. Herschell); internal pages are clean, bright and unmarked (remarkably so, considering they are more than 300 years old!); binding remains strong throughout. Overall, a well-preserved first edition copy - very scarce. NB: An extra shipping charge may be requested for heavier or more valuable items. All our 'Seller Images' show the actual item you will receive.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Written by Symon Patrick, the Bishop of Ely, this book provides a clear and thorough guide to the laws and ceremonies found in the biblical book of Leviticus. The text explains the meaning behind the ancient rules and religious duties of the time, making the complex lessons of the Old Testament easier for readers in the late seventeenth century to understand. Very Good Condition. Brown calf binding with gilt panelling to boards. Binding is firm and contents are clean. Slight trimming to top-edge. Wonderful 17th century marble end papers and armorial plate of Vanhattem of Dinton Hall, Bucks to front pastedown. Boards have some notable shelf-wear to boards and some bumping to corners causing slight peeling to leather edges. Lettering has faded to spine. Slight loss to spine tail (1cm). A very nice copy overall.
