Beschreibung

Quarto. Pp [viii], 782 [10]. Early annotation in secretarial hand to verso of front blank, stamp of the Free Church College Bannatyne Library to title page. From the personal library of Bannatyne, with his small ownership stamp Colin A Bannatyne on flyleaf and title page. Contemporary vellum, edges specked. A clean example of this important work, in which Calderwood asserts the primacy of the kirk against the authority of King James in church matters, a stance for which he was eventually banished, though ultimately vindication. Bannatyne was a figure of some importance in the Free Church at the time of the creation of the Free Church Union, and served twice as its moderator. A nice, and relevant association. It is not far-fetched to think that Bannatyne took some inspiration from Calderwood's bravery in his own struggles to achieve church unity. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1645173148841
