About This Item
Cöllen: Peter Ketteler, 1693. Early edition of the sermons and other writings of German Augustinian friar Abraham a Sancta Clara. He was known for his eccentric wit and eloquence, and his sermons were highly popular with both the aristocracy and the common man. "The people flocked to hear him, attracted by the force and simplicity of his language, the grotesqueness of his humour, and the impartial severity with which he lashed the follies of all social classes." (EB, 11th ed.) German and Latin text in fraktur. [4], 437, [7] pp. Approx. 21 x 16.5 cm. Early patterned paper boards, manuscript spine label. Good with rubbing and wear at the extremities. Text complete with browning, occasional stains. A sound copy. With bookplate of the Neander Library, Rochester [NY] Theological Seminary / "Presented by Roswell S. Burrows, Esq." Burrows (1798-1884) was a NY banker who acquired and donated the important private library of German theologian and ecclesiastical historian August W. Neander (1789-1850.) A contemporary newspaper called the collection "one of the best libraries we have ever seen … selected by the most experienced bibliothecaries, and devoid of old lumber and trash of all kinds."
