The History of the Consecration of Altars, Temples and Churches: Shewing The various Forms of it among Jews, Heathens and Christians ....

By: Owen (James)

Price: $125.00

Seller ID: 54886

London: Benj. Bragg, 1706. First edition. 4to. 96 pp. Disbound. First few leaves are loose, final two leaves are ragged on the edge, with some loss of text from the outer edge. This book has been trimmed to a slightly irregular shape, probably to fit in with some other books during binding; the trimming has caused the loss of some characters and marginal printed notes throughout, also many signature marks and catch words have been at least partially eradicated. So, a somewhat imperfect copy, offered with all faults. An uncommon book.
