First Dutch editions of the first two works and second Dutch edition of the third work. They are here issued together with their own title pages to which a general title was added. These Dutch editions were revised and expanded by both the author and the translator; the latter also added a preface. Daniel van Breen (or Daniel de Breen) was a Socianian theologian, a pupil of the remonstrant leader Simon Episcopius, and a member of the heterodox Collegiants in Amsterdam. The third work is his best knownbook, a chiliastic work on the coming realm of Christ. An earlier Dutch edition appeared 1653, a Latin edition with the title Tractatus de regno Ecclesi� glorioso per Christum in terris erigendo' in 1657.The translator Frans Kuyper (1629-1691), also known as Franciscus Cuperus, a nephew of Van Breen, was also the publisher of the volume. He acquired some fame as the publisher of the Socinian Bibliotheca Fratrum Polonorum', forbidden by the States of Holland in 1674. He was also a member of the Collegiants and, though critical towards the ideas of Spinoza, also accused of Spinozistic sympathies. His conflict with another critic of Spinoza, Johannes Bredenburg, is now considered as the first public debate about Spinoza's philosophy. P.Knijff & S.J.Visser, Bibliographia sociniana' 3046.
