A propos de cet article

Gilbert Burnet [1643-1715] first published his History of the Reformation in 2 volumes in 1679 and 1681. Then being persuaded that "every one cannot find the Money to buy them or the Leisure to read them" he contracted his works to a mere 319 and 384 pages. This is the second edition of his Abridgment. Illustrated wtih engravings as frontis and to head each volume. Leather decoratively tooled. Book block sound with clean text. Front hinge firm. Rear board is attached by only 2 of its 4 strings but overall this is an ancient book remarkably well preserved. All proceeds to Amnesty International. N° de réf. du vendeur 012159
