BASNAGE [DE BEAUVAL, Jacques [1653-1723].
Histoire De La Religion Des Églises Réformées, Depuis Jésus-Christ. Jusqu'À Présent.
Rotterdam Abraham Acher & The Hague: Pierre Husson, 1725..
2 Volumes. 4to. pp. 7 p.l., 331, 3-315, [11]; 717, [18]. titles in red & black. woodcut vignette on titles. engraved dedication headpiece. woodcut initials. Uncut in contemporary half calf (worn but sound, spine ends chipped, occasional marginal dampstains). Third Enlarged Edition, the first in Quarto format of this valuable history of the Protestant church. The author was protestant pastor at his native Rouen (1676), and then at Rotterdam (1691), where he settled following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and finally at The Hague (1709). There he was employed in several political negociations, including the Triple Alliance between France, Great Britain, and Holland in 1716, in which he displayed such diplomatic ability that Voltaire remarked "he was fitter to be minister of state than of a parish."

Later edition of one of the Pope's principal writings.

First published in 1741 following his elevation to the Papacy, it is an adaptation to diocesan administration of the general ecclesiastical law. Because of its influence this book is called by Schulte, "one of the most important, if not the most important, modern work in canon law." (Idem.)

Geneva Version; with Tomson's NT, but with Junius' Revelation. This copy agrees with Herbert 248 (based on Pocock, 1883), identified as the earliest of this group of quarto bibles with 1599 Barker imprint as it abounds with gross errors. All were apparently printed in the Low Countries for surreptitious import into England. Herbert suggests that this edition was perhaps printed at Amsterdam about 1599. STC on the other hand (citing The Library, 1954) suggests that it was printed at Amsterdam by J.F.Stam, after 1640(?). Darlow & Moule 188. Herbert 248. Pforzheimer 60. STC 2174 with 2499 [The Book of Psalmes, Amsterdam: J.F.Stam, after 1640?].
