Small paper-label pasted on to top of spine, indicating the inventory number in an estate-library. Corners bumped and a few dots and marks to boards. Title-page in vol. 1 detached, otherwise internally very nice and clean. XXVI, 457, (1), (14) pp. + frontispiece and 5 plates and maps XVIII, 518, (62) pp. A very nice copy, finely bound, of the seventh edition of Prideaux?s highly popular work covering the historical interval between the Old and New Testaments spanning from the conclusion of the biblical era to the emergence of Christianity. Delving into detailed depictions of Jewish culture, religion, and politics, the book also analyzes the origins and development of both the Old and New Testaments. In the mid- and last half of the 18th century it was regarded as being essential reading for those intrigued by the foundations of Western civilization and the historical development of the Jewish people.
