Misc. pencil marks on front end papers, along with a former owner's name/date (in ink, Lillian Fogler Barrington 1938); rear end paper splitting a bit, but seems contained. Over-all a nice copy.. Ivory vellum/boards. Black hand lettering on spine (Old German). XXVIII followed by pages 1-494; [2], XIV followed by pages 495-964; [40]. Bw frontis and two illustrated title pages (bw). Page edges tinted red. Text in Old German. Bible commentary. The first two volumes of an eventual 16-volume set. Volume I was published in 1750 and Volume II in 1751, but these were printed together, in this specific instance. There were various printings. Lilienthal was the pastor at Konigsberg Cathedral. This was his most well-known of many theological works, but it fell into obscurity later in the 19th century. (Inventory #: 161868)
