Calvin, Johannes (1509-1564) - INSTITUTIO CHRISTIANAE RELIGIONIS in libros quatuor nunc primum digesta, certisque distincta capitibus, ad aptissimam methodum, aucta etiam tam magna accessione ut propemodum opus novum haberi possit: Iohanne Caluino authore.
[Geneva], Antonius Rebulius 1561 Woodcut emblem with surrounding text from Matthew 7 verse 13 . 198 x 120mm contempory leather blindstamped central ornament and panels blind ruled on 4 raised spine bands [Hinges rubbed but sound wihtout any spliting/lower cover with some scratching else sound and tight] [30], 980, 80pp (Index) with colophon on verso of last leaf. Two names crossed out to blank areas of title +1709 German ownership. Two corners torn off one just affecting a few letters of the side-notes on one side of the paper and some areas of worm holes in the margins, touching two letters of a side-note otherwise clear of any printed area. There is pale damp marking and some neat old marginal comments but nothing affecting the clear legibility of the text. The endpapers however are not original although an original blank leaf preceeds the titlepage. This is the first Reboul octavo edition and the last edition published in Calvin's lifetime. He had continually revised and augmented the work starting with a 21 chapter book and finally ending with a nearly four fold increase in length. With the 1559 edition an extensive alphabetical index was added with header topics under which were summaries of the chapter contents. This was Calvins most important work and was translated into many languages. Referenced by: Adams C-362.
