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.'

From the library of the Danish zoologist Henrik Krøyer. <br/><br/><em>Early edition of this famous work arguing for the truth of Christianity and aiming to convert Muslims and Jews to Christianity.While in Paris Grotius set about rendering into Latin prose a work which he had compiled in prison providing rudimentary yet systematic arguments for the truth of Christianity. Showcasing Grotius' skill as a poet the earlier Dutch version of the work Bewijs van den waren Godsdienst pub. 1622 was written entirely in didactic verse. The Latin work was first published in 1627 as De veritate religionis Christianae."It was the first Protestant textbook in Christian apologetics and was divided into six books. Part of the text dealt with the emerging questions of historical consciousness concerning the authorship and content of the canonical gospels. Other sections of the work addressed pagan religion Judaism and Islam. What also distinguished this work in the history of Christian apologetics is its precursor role in anticipating the problems expressed in Eighteenth century Deism and that Grotius represents the first of the practitioners of legal or juridical apologetics in the defence of Christian belief. Hugely popular the book was translated from Latin into English Arabic Persian and Chinese by Edward Pococke for use in missionary work in the East and remained in print until the end of the nineteenth century."Wikipedia. </em> hardcover
