Beautiful collector's item

Benedictus Iustiniani Genuensis of the Society of Jesus on the Epistles of Saint Paul with Explanations

This great edition was published in 1613 by Horace Cardon in Lyon.

The book is bound in a blind-embossed full leather binding and contains two intact metal clasps.

The work 'Benedicti Iustiani Genuensis Societatis Iesu In Omnes B. Pauli Apost. Epistolas Explanationum', published in 1613 in Lyon by Horatii Gardon, is a significant example of Catholic biblical exegesis of the early modern period. Written by Benedetto Giustiniani, a scholar of the Jesuit order, the book offers detailed commentaries on all the letters of the Apostle Paul and reflects the theological and scholarly depth of the order. The 1613 edition is among the early prints of the Counter-Reformation and stands as an impressive testament to the religious debates and educational ambitions of that time.

The rarity of this book is particularly noteworthy: early modern theological works that have survived in good condition are extremely rare, as many copies were lost due to wars, environmental influences, or changes in theological trends. The fact that your edition is over 400 years old and still in good condition makes it an exceptional collectible and a coveted rarity for bibliophiles and scholars alike. Such works rarely appear on the antiquarian market and offer a fascinating window into the scholarly world of the 17th century.

Condition: The book is overall in really good condition. It is a complete copy! The pages are only occasionally faintly stained. The metal clasps are intact. A few pages have slight tears. The blind-embossed full leather binding was recently restored at the spine.
