First editions. Two volumes bound as one. A treatise (published anonymously for this first edition, his name was only attached in the 1718 second edition) on how to give spiritual sustenance to the sick and dying. Unusually for the time, most of the work is helping priests give consolation to the sick. Attractive full leather binding, with gilt decoration and burgundy label with gilt title. In good condition, with a touch of rubbing only. No end paper, so the book begins at the title page (presumably lacking the half title). The first two leaves have small nick to the corner. Mostly clean and tidy throughout Attractive historiated initials. There is slight worm damage throughout the work (doesn't really affect the text). The final leaf, which should be pasted to the rear board, has lifted, and so is not pasted down. It's nice to see small pieces of old vellum strips used as binding material beneath. Overall a very nice copy. Scarce first edition. No copies available at the time of cataloguing. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 1068552260. Only one library holding (at the Universiteit Utrecht). 17cm x 10cm. collation: [LX], 322, [ii]., [vi], 290, [ii]., .
