Martin Luther; Friedrich Simon Loeffler

Verlag: Johann Friedrich, Leipzig, 1771

A well preserved copy of this German church book, containing the Gospel and Epistles, the Lutheran church agenda, marriage order and general prayers. In the original German. With an introduction by Friedrich Simon Loeffler, a German Protestant-Lutheran theologian and author. Loeffler was the nephew of the German philosopher, mathematician and historian Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Collated complete. With an engraved frontispiece. With the stamp of someone by the name 'De Salis' to the verso of front endpaper with the coronet of a count above the name. There have been many Count de Salis's who were counts of the Holy Roman Empire from 1748. One example of who this could have belonged to is Rev. Count Henry Jerome de Salis (1740-1810), the Rector of St Antholin and Vicar of Wing, Buckinghamshire. This uncommon and well-preserved work gives insight into Martin Luther's church agenda and how it had developed by eighteenth century Germany. Rebound, in paper covered boards. Externally, sound with rubbing to the extremities and to the joints. Bumping to the extremities, heavier to the bottom right corner. Loss to the paper to the spine, to the head and tail. Front joint is cracked, but remains firm. Prior owner's stamp to the verso of front endpaper, 'De Salis'. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright with occasional light scattered spots, heavier to the first few pages. Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 612L5
