127, [1]p, engraved vignette to titlepage by G. Terry. 8vo. Functional but unsympathetic paper reinforcement to verso of leading edge of first 5 leaves, sl. wear to leading edge of some others, otherwise a clean copy. Disbound. ESTC T139375, BL only. With an additional titlepage: 'The approaching judgments of God upon the Roman Empire, and the whole false and impenitent christendom; … Published for a testimony to all people, by command of the eternal God, to unworthy servant, John Maximilian Daut, 1710. ' The engraved illustration on the titlepage is dated Jan. 30. 1794. The reprint of this work in 1794 was most probably as a result of the renewed interest in prophetic literature, following the rise of the religious philosophy of philosemitism, and Richard Brothers' pamphlets on prophecy and remarkable events in the 1790's. ESTC notes that it has been 'unable to find the original text. The work stated as the original in NUC is not the same as this work'. However, T82681, records 5 copies of the 1711 edition.
