About this Item

FIRST EDITION. Royal 8vo, Contemporary red half-calf with raised bands and marbled boards and marbled interior. Half-title is present. 462 pp. + (1) leaf (colophon). the leather is a little cracked along the front board, but exhibits no weakness. True first edition of this seminal classic on the life of Jesus, which caused an immediate scandal when it appeared. The book's controversial position that the life of Jesus should be written like the life of any historic person, and that the Bible could and should be subject to the same critical scrutiny as other historical documents caused some controversy and enraged many Christians. This is a scarce copy which has all SIXTY WOODCUTS from the 1870 illustrated edition bound in. How this came to be is a mystery. Housed in a morocco-backed slipcase with chemise. A very attractive copy. Seller Inventory # 146
