1681 1ed Life of Jesuit Saint Francis de Borgia Society Jesus Ignatius BartoliSaint Francis Borgia was a 16th-century Spanish Jesuit priest who is often considered the most influential Jesuit following the founder, Saint Ignatius of Loyola. He led a humble and quiet life noted for his prayer and supplication, even though he held important roles of the ever-expanding Jesuit order. A century after Borgia's life, Jesuit author Daniello Bartoli published a biographical sketch of Borgia.
A rare 1681 edition on one of the most influential Jesuit leaders.

Crenius includes studies on family building, equipping church officials, vices forbidden at the altar, and the approach to sacrifices. Very little is known of this book – a very rare, late 17th-century devotional published in Rotterdam. It should be noted that while the works are original to Crenius, he formed his writings based on the famous 12th-century Jewish rabbi and philosopher Moses Maimonides.Item number: #5423Price: $550CRENIUS, Thomas Fasciculus sextus opusculorum quae ad historiam ac philologiam sacram spectant : in quo continentur de cultu divino ex R.

Description:
This small volume contains the potery of Claudius Claudiani, known as Claudian (c. 370-c. 404 AD). A poet of Greek origin who wrote in Latin, he has been considered the last significant poet in the classical tradition and was in particular known for his epigrams praising Romans in significant political positions, as well as his poetry on mythic topics. He was considered a poet of importance in the Middle Ages.This edition of Claudian's works was published by Daniel Elzevier, a member of the significant Dutch publishing House of Elzevier, in 1677. This is an excellent example of the small editions for which the House of Elzevier was particularly well-known, measuring approximately 2.5 inches wide by 4.5 inches tall, and its contents accord with their focus on classical works as well as editions of the Greek New Testament.
This particularly edition of Claudian's poetry includes a life of Claudian written by Giglio (here identified as Lilio) Gregorious Giraldi (1479-1552) taken from his work on the… Read More

Description:
This is a First edition thus of the "Quatrième Edition, revue & considérablement augmentée", printed in 1780. New articles are starred (*) to differentiate from those which had appeared in previous editions of this momumental work. This a complete 12-volume set, with each volume between 500 and 600 pages. Later bindings are still tight and text remarkably free from foxing, fading or other blemishes, BUT it is in places rather heavily underlined in pencil and/or ballpoint. This concerns maybe 1% of the text and does not impact its readability. See photos.
