Descripción

Later half vellum over marbled boards, added endpapers, boards rubbed, scar and tear to spine and lettering piece. 2 volumes in 1, books five and six of the works of the 4th century Archbishop, containing Homilies and Sermons - the second book printed in 1525 (title dated 1525, dated 1524 at the colophon). The first title page is worn and stained, light dampstain at the top of the first few pages and the top and bottom occasionally elsewhere and a bit heavier to the last dozen or so leaves, just touching the text at the edges; scattered mild foxing - generally quite clean and bright. An attractively printed book, with historiated initials throughout, by the great Parisian printer - following in the footsteps of a 1517 Froben edition. CXCVI, CCXXII leaves, lacking any blanks. Fairly frequent errors in foliation, but complete. Rare. Born around 347 in Turkey, Chrysostomus, after a period of asceticism ruined his health, became famous for his public speaking and exposition of difficult Bible passages as well as his interest in the impoverished and condemnation of Church abuses. He rose to become Archbishop of Constantinople but was later exiled for much debated reasons. He died around 407 and was venerated as a Saint very shortly afterward. Size: Folio. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 2-3 kilos. Category: Religion & Theology; Antiquarian & Rare. Inventory No: 044196. N° de ref. del artículo 044196
