Author: William Cave
Title: Bishop Jeremy Taylor&Apos;S Life of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
Description: London, George Virtue, 1840. Leather. A scarce copy of the revised edition of Taylor's Life of Christ, with Cave's Lives of the Apostles. Including fourteen engraved plates. Jeremy Taylor (15 August 1613 13 August 1667) was a cleric in the Church of England who achieved fame as an author during the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. He is sometimes known as the "Shakespeare of Divines" for his poetic style of expression and was often presented as a model of prose writing. He is remembered in the Church of England's calendar of saints with a Lesser Festival on 13 August. William Cave (30 December 1637 4 August 1713) was an English divine and patristic scholar. The merits of Cave as a writer consist in the thoroughness of his research, the clearness of his style, and, above all, the admirably lucid method of his arrangement. The two works on which his reputation principally rests are the Apostolici; or, The History of the Lives, Acts, Death and Martyrdoms of those who were contemporary with, or immediately succeeded the Apostles (1677), and Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Historia Literaria (1688). In a full tree-calf binding. Externally worn, with some marks and rubbing. Internally, generally firmly bound, although front free-endpapers and frontispiece are working loose. Some closed tears to plates, and significant loss to pages 585/6 and tissue guard. Ink signature to recto of front free-endpaper. Some damp staining to first few pages. Fair . Ill.: None. Fair .
