Emanuel und Benedikt Hurter, 1742. Hardcover. 22, 740, 70 (index) pp. Large 4to 14' x 9', contemporary untitle vellum with numeral '3' in pen to head of spine. Tips just a bit rubbed, some petina to vellum, title page leaf loose, front hinge starting, rear hinge cracked but cords still intact, tidemark to outer pages, some trivial worming. Arnold's comprehensive history of heterodoxy and heresy in the Church is an essential and exclusive source for many of the figures treated therein. His sympathetic treatement of unorthodox theological opinions, originally in two volumes, spurred considerable outrage. This separate third part was issued as an exhaustive report on his critics and defense of his positions. “Ein unvergängliches Denkmal des glückl. Fleisses und duldsamer, kräft iger Unbefangenheit” (Goedeke). Jantz 399. VERY GOOD. Item #500861
