The First Illustrated Bible printed in America is the 1791 folio Bible by Isaiah Thomas "The most sumptuous American Bible of the eighteenth century" : thus this quarto-sized version of that work is the Second Illustrated Bible printed in America and the first Royal Quarto Bible in English published in American both editions were announced as "completed" on the same date altho vol. 2 of the folio was still in progress.

Veit Ludwig von Seckendorf 1626-1692 German historian and jurist. His most important work "Commentarius historicus et apologeticus de Lutheranismo sive de Reformatione" first published at Leipzig 1692 in 3 vols is an extensive history of the Reformation and the Thirty Years War which is still valuable to historians today. Seckendorf both utilized and quoted from many primary source manuscripts and printed materials found in the libraries of the Saxon princes. His work was in part an answer to the Jesuit Louis Maimbourgs "Histoire du Lutheranisme" published Paris 1680. The first German translation of Seckendorfs history revised - shortening the lengthy quotations from Maimbourg was printed in 1714. A second German edition here listed edited with additions by Benjamin Lindern appeared in 1755. According to the scholar L.W. Spitz Lindnern dropped Seckendorfs complex arrangement which followed Maimbourg and reduced the work "to a more continuous narrative." See L.W.

1764AQ21402London: s.n. 1764. 14pp. Disbound. Title page very nearly detached. An apparently unrecorded anonymous polemic against the interpretation of the gospels by early modern theologians. The author takes exception to the affirmations of the likes of William Twisse and John Goodwin whom he charges with neglecting the precise wording of the scriptures in favour of personal ideology particularly in regard to 'Papist' beliefs in the purification of baptism. No concrete indications as to the identity of the 'J. M.' to whose writings the pamphlet responds are provided in the text; however a devotional tract issued under those initials was published at Edinburgh in 1759 entitled Bellarmine's ghost conjured by the evidence of truth; or John Goodwin laid in his grave after his resurrection. A dialogue upon the active obedience of Christ between a pretended seceder and a member of the Church of Scotland ESTC T204142. The mention of Goodwin both in that title and the present work goes someway to establishing a tangential connection. . First edition. 8vo. [s.n.] unknown
