About This Item
Rotterdam: Chez Reinier Leers, 1689. First Edition. vellum. Very good. SIMON, Richard. Histoire critique du texte du Nouveau Testament, où l'on établit la vérité des actes sur lesquels la religion chrétienne est fondée.
Chez Reinier Leers, Rotterdam, 1689.
TP + [1] - [9] = Preface + [10] [14] = Table des Chapitres + 1 - 430 + 1 blank leaf. 4to. First Edition.
Richard Simon, "father of modern exegesis," sought to moderate the radical thinking of the Enlightenment. His History of the text of the New Testament brought a critical-historical eye to those long-held, and rarely questioned, religious truths. He defended the faith against those heretical voices of ecclesiastical opposition while trying to carve space for historical critical Biblical exegesis. Simon found himself "embroiled in a grueling two-front war, battling Spinoza, on one side, and the immense corpus of inherited interpretation on the other" (Jonathan Israel, Radical Enlightenment, 450). CONDITION: Very good+ in original vellum. Tightly bound. Light spotting to covers. Name in ink to title page, dated 1711. Small stamp on TP. Minor pencil markings to very few pages. A beautiful copy of an important text of the Enlightenment.
