    Description

    First Edition, Leather Binding, Uncommon

    The first edition of this uncommon work. 

    This is Owtram's best known work, in which he presents an in-depth study on religious ritual sacrifice. The first book focuses on Hebrew rituals and sacrifices, the second on the Christian concept of sacrifice. 

    A monumental anti-Trinitarian text, of which an English translation by John Allen was later published in 1817.

    Owtram, sometimes spelled as Outram, was a clergyman who became the Archdeacon of Leicester in 1669. 

    Register runs as: A4, a4, B-3D4. 

    Collated, complete.

    Condition

    In a full vellum binding. Externally, discoloured and a little marked, as is usual to see with a vellum binding. Lacking part of the backstrip, remaining backstrip lifting a little, particularly to the front joint. Minor bumping to the extremities. A small patch of worming to the rear joint. Front hinge is a little strained but remains firm. Ink inscription to the front paste down, and recto of the front endpaper. Internally, firmly bound.
