In Thirty several Tragical Histories: (Digested in Six Books) committed in divers Countreys beyond the Seas. Never Published or Imprinted in any other Language. Histories which contain great variety of Mournful and Memorable Accidents, Historical, Moral, and Divine; very necessary to restrain and deterr us from the bloody sin which in these our days makes so ample and large a Progression.

Repair to frontispiece margins at left edge and bottom left corner. Chipped and finger soiled title. Small tears at the margins, not affecting text.

Free of known marginalia or ownership. Collated and complete. Please see photos. In 1621 an Exeter merchant named John Reynolds published one of the earliest bestsellers in crime reporting… The Triumphs of Gods Revenge. This electrifying work, with its vivid tales of violent revenge, lust, murder and equally bloody punishment, is increasingly held as a turning point in crime literature, especially in its insights into the psychology of crime. By 1670 Triumphs had gone into a fifth edition (the first to be profusely illustrated with woodcuts), and new editions were still appearing a century later. FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION - COMPLETE WITH ALL THIRTY WOODCUTS! RAREB1670KXYB - 08/23 - LH FORN-TUB-0098-BB-2601-HKREV1762.…
