Hardcover. Zustand: Very good-. First edition. Two parts, small octavo. Collation: A2, [star]8, B-O8, P2; (second series) K-2H8, 2I4 (= 296 leaves). [20], 211, [1 blank], 129-487, [1 blank]pp. Index of letters bound between the reader's preface and the Life of Morin. Texts in Latin, with occasional passages in Hebrew, Arabic, Syriac, and Greek. Contemporary vellum (lightly stained) with old manuscript label (faded and blurred) at spine. Occasional light toning and a few oxidation spots, else a very good copy, with crisp text. First edition of this important collection of letters, chiefly between the orientalist and member of the Oratorian order, Jean Morin (1591-1659) and Cardinal Francesco Barberini (1597-1679). Occasioned by the attempt of Pope Urban VIII to unite the eastern churches with the Roman Catholic Church, they document an important early attempt to address the relations between Rome and the Christian communities of the Levant and Near East. The first two letters, from the Samaritan community in Egypt, are addressed to Joseph Scaliger and discuss the differences between their luni-solar calendar and that employed by the mainstream Jewish community; originally written in Hebrew, the present Latin versions were prepared by Morin. Fourteen letters contain the correspondence between Morin and Pietro Della Valle (1586-1652), on Samaritan matters and Islamic chronology. Purchased from the heirs of the French scholar Amelot de la Houssaye, the 94 letters were edited by the pioneering biblical critic Richard Simon (1638-1712), who may be credited with the "first attempt to write a history of the Bible as a piece of literature" (Schaff-Herzog). Focusing his analyses on the text, versions, and commentaries, Simon critically discussed the Septuagint and the Vulgate, and defended the translation of the Bible into the vernacular. He affirmed the critical value of the Masoretic text, while acknowledging the late origin of the Hebrew vocalization system. In his Histoire Critique du Vieux Testament (Paris, 1678) he also dared to suggest "that Moses cannot be the author of all the books attributed to him." Too radical for its time, the work was suppressed and nearly all copies of the first print run were destroyed. (A transcription of one of the surviving copies served as the basis of the 1680 Rotterdam edition, and an English version published at London in 1682.) Simon was expelled from the Oratorians. It thus comes as no surprise to observe that his substantial biography of Morin which precedes the letters "amounts to a diatribe against not only Morin, but the entire Oratorian Congregation" (Wetzer & Welte). Provenance: Stamp of Collegii Albertini Bonnae at recto and verso of the title; from the library of Old Catholic theologian J. H. Reinkens (1821-96), with his manuscript entry at the front endleaf.

8vo. (20), 211, (1), 129-487, (1) pp. Contemporary full calf with giltstamped arms of Michel Le Tellier. Leading edges gilt. Edges red. First edition. - Correspondence between the Oratorian Jean Morin (1591-1659) and Cardinal Barberini (and others) regarding the project of Pope Urban VIII to unite all schismatic churches of the orient with the Roman church, in which the learned orientalist Morin was instrumental. As such, this constitutes an early and important attempt to systematically address the relations between the Rome and the Christian communities established in Lebanon, Syria and in the rest of the Middle East, containing valuable observations on the Druze, Copt, and other local religious communities. Several portions printed in Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, and Syriac characters. The editor, R. Simon (1638-1712), has prefixed a Life of Morin which "amounts to a diatribe against not only Morin, but the entire Oratorian Congregation" (cf. Wetzer/W.). - From the library of the French statesman Michel III Le Tellier, marquis de Barbezieux (1603-85), minister of state after Mazarin, Chancellor and Keeper of the Seals of France. It was he who counter-signed (with Louis XIV) the Edict of Fontainebleau, revoking the Edict of Nantes and driving the Huguenots from France; he died but a week later. - ESTC R5020.

First Edition. London: Richard and Edward Atkins, 1681. 3rd ed. A Working 17th-Century Law Library Copy: Degge's Parson's Counsellor (1681) with Continuous Adlington Family Provenance Degge, Sir Simon [1612-1704]. The Parson's Counsellor, With the Law of Tithes or Tithing. In Two Books. London: Printed by the assigns of Richard and Edward Atkins Esquires, 1681. Octavo (6-1/2" x 4"; 165 x 101 mm) [xxxii], 421, [35] pp. Two parts, each with title page. Pagination continuous. Contemporary calf, boards ruled in blind with corner fleurons, spine with raised bands and blind fillets, gilt-edged boards. Rubbing to boards and extremities; spine ends chipped and corners worn. Rear joint starting; hinges cracked but holding. Ownership inscriptions of Thomas Adlington dated 1765 and 1795 to endpapers and leaf Ee2v. Interior with light toning and occasional soiling; minor dampstaining and foxing. Small tears to fore-edges of first few leaves; larger tear to A5 (no loss). Small holes to bottom margin of A8. Partial crack to text block between Ee8 and Ff; binding remains secure. Brief later annotation to p. 227. A very good copy. $450. * Third Edition. First published in 1676, Degge's Counsellor remained the preeminent practical manual for the English clergy and their legal advisors for nearly 150 years. Written by a prominent barrister and Royalist judge rather than a theologian, the work is celebrated for its pragmatic, secular approach to church law. It was instrumental in redefining tithes-originally a religious offering-as a strictly enforceable legal property right under common and statute law. This 1681 edition was published during a period of intense legal refinement following the Restoration. It includes substantial additions over the first edition, reflecting the evolving court precedents that sought to stabilize the Church of England's financial footing. A critical feature of this edition is the "Catalogue of Dissolved Monasteries," which identified lands exempt from tithe payments-a vital reference tool for 17th and 18th-century land disputes. This copy features a notable generational provenance within a documented London legal family. The rear endleaf contains the inscription of Thomas Adlington (fl. 1765), an attorney active in the mid-18th century. The front free endpaper and leaf Ee2v bear the signatures of his successor, Thomas Adlington (fl. 1795), a partner in the prom. London: Richard and Edward Atkins, 1681. 3rd ed. (illustrator). …
