VERY GOOD. 12 408pp. Small 12mo contemporary brown calf blind tooled with corner fleurons 10 blind ruled spine panels brown morocco label lettered and ruled in gilt. In Latin. Title page printed in black and red with woodcut device edges speckled in red. Some minor staining and rubbing to edges ex-libris St. Benedict's Abbey Fort Augustus Scotland with their bookplates to front. Binding remains very sound and square with clean fresh text. This 1662 edition was the first of five Elzevier editions published by Elzevier Willems Les Elzevier: Histoire et Annales Typographiques §1288. Grotius was a Dutch polymath prolific in theology philosophy law mathematics and literature. Following the Synod of Dort he was condemned to prison in 1626 along with many other Arminian leaders receiving a life sentence of which he served 18months before being ingeniously smuggled out in a trunk by his wife. Grotius wrote de Veritate from prison in 1627; it was an international success translated into Latin French English German Chinese and Malay over the next century. 'The original object of this prison work which was written in verse was to furnish seafaring men who should come in contact with the heathen arguments in defense of their faith. But when translated into Latin prose it found its way into the highest circles of educated men and was until very recently a standard text-book on the Evidences of Christianity. In this work Grotius may be said to have erected apologetics into a science and thus rendered immense service even though his treatment of the subject does not meet all the wants of the present age. It is divided into six books of which the first treats of the existence and attributes of God; the second of the excellence of the doctrine and ethics of Christianity; the third of the authenticity of the books of the New Testament; the last three of objections supposed to be made on the part of pagans Mohammedans and Jews.'
