1725 Jewish History Calmet JEWS + Bible Commentary Holy Land MAPS Jerusalem

Antoine Augustin Calmet was a 17th-century French Benedictine monk who is most remembered today for his commentary and notes on the Bible. This commentary was highly regarded, not just by Catholics but by Protestants as well. Calmet's commentary created new ways of biblical interpretation, new methods of exegesis, and individual prefaces to each book. Interestingly, he vehemently avoided using metaphysical and mystical interpretations of scripture.

This commentary was the foundation for many of his other works, including his 'History of Jews in the Old and New Testament'. This 1725 edition includes an introductory history of the church by Abby Fleury, along with seven impressive folding maps and plans:
·
Map of Ancient World
·
Map of "Earthly Paradise" or "The Promised Land"
·
Map of Israelite's journey
·
Solomon's Temple
·

1585 John Calvin Institutes Christian Religion Geneva Bible Catechism Reformed

"We should ask God to increase our hope when it is small, awaken it when it is dormant, confirm it when it is wavering, strengthen it when it is weak, and raise it up when it is overthrown."
― John Calvin

A rare, 16th-century Latin translation of John Calvin's "Institutio Christianae relgionis", or "Institutes of the Christian Religion." It is still widely read and considered highly influential in Western world Christianity. At its core, "Institutes" was intended to provide Christians inspiration in their living, as well as being an introductory work to those new to the faith. It attacked those who opposed Calvin's teachings, most notably Roman Catholicism.

"Institutes" was immensely popular during the 16th-century and has since been held in the same respect as Augustine's "City of God," Aquinas's "Summa Theologica," Melanchthon's "Loci Communes" and other important Christian doctrines.

1603 William Camden History of Britain Ireland Norman Invasion Wm the Conqueror

"The best edition of Camden!"

A fine, early 17th-century printing of William Camden's "Anglica, Normannica, Hibernica, Cambrica, a veteribus scripta."

(Adams, Old English Scholarship). This book was famously in Thomas Jefferson's Library (Gilreath & Wilson).
