Description

The product is an antique 18th century German Christian catechesis book by M. Gottfried Hoffmann. Published in Leipzig, Germany in 1706, the book is a valuable piece of religious and spiritual literature. With a leather binding, this original book provides insight into the religious practices of Europe during that time period. A rare find for collectors interested in antique religious texts, this book offers a glimpse into the spiritual beliefs and teachings of the era. This book includes a Mare Biblicum diagram depicting the sea being fed by rivers as a teaching metaphor. This catethesis book was intended as a teaching tool of the Christian faith for students in Lauban and is arranged in six classes. The book is full of biblical sayings. The condition of the book is remarkable given its age. There is a split to the binding at the inner cover otherwise intact and in good shape. The cover page is loose do to this split but all other pages (except the last two which have been torn and are missing) are intact and free of any marks other marks. There is some light foxing throughout. There is some old pen notation and stamping to the inner front board. See all photos for details.

  1. You've gotta do business with this guy. Shipping was instant. His professional packaging was impeccable. These pre-worn vintage boots were exactly as described and extremely well taken care of and offered at a great price. Although slightly worn, actually look brand new. One amazing eBayer. Perfect., Thank you!!
