About This Item
Venice: Bassani, 1783. This "Life and Works of the Church Fathers" was a major work by the Jesuit theologian Pierre-Joseph Tricalet (1696-1761). This is a Very Good copy of Volume Eight only from the First Edition. Scarce to rare. Title (and text) is in Latin: "Complectens Illorium vitae, & geftorum breviarium: Operum Synopsim: Illustriora testimonia Dogmata, Mores, Disciplinam spectantia, & selecta Vitae spiritualis documenta." A summary of the life and work of the Church Fathers - their characters and teachings.Two of the Fathers are considered in this volume: Saints Anselmus and Bernardus. Marbled cloth binding with leather tips and spine. Ruled and titled in gilt on the spine. Clean text; xxiv; 397pages. Very bright and clear. If you remember more of your Latin than Quercus does, this would be an enjoyable read! This is an ex-libris copy, but with very minimal treatments: evidence of a pocket removal on the rear paste-down; a small label (in Latin) on the front paste-down The leaf of the title page has a small embossed chop and a small label on the reverse. Rubbed at the margins. Front gutter has cracked; while holding well, a bit of reinforcement would be nice. A solid copy of a scarce title.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
