Without the general title-pate to the 10 vol. ‘Bibliotheca Fratrum Polonorum’ typical w/ this set. Portrait of Socinus is present in volume 1 (nearly always missing). A few section titles are probably missing, however the text is complete. Light yellowing from age, occasional light soiling and light foxing, neat wormhole repair to ffep on vol. 1. with first two pages apparently tipped in (old repair) with only slight pulling on the inner margin. Vol. 2 missing general title, begins with section title. Bookplate of Edward Bouverie Pusey, also 18th armorial bookplate of John Sturges. Overall a highly attractive set of the works of Socinus, leader of the influential anti-trinitarian arm of the radical reformation.Text in Latin.

Contents Volume 2:
Socinus’ treatise on the sacrifice of Christ (non-vicarious) was so complete and exact that his followers afterward could only expound or repeat its contents. Socinus’ influence lasted a generation after his death in 1604 but is considered the grandfather of modern Deism and Unitarianism. Quite Scarce. Photos available upon request. #a010023
