Overall a very good copy.<br> <br> It was perhaps as early as 1516 that Cardinal Wolsey anxious to distract him from more worldly preoccupations first encouraged Henry VIlI to embark on a serious rejoinder to Luther 49. In so doing Wolsey wrought his own downfall and this was perhaps the least of the consequences of 'The Assertion of the Seven Sacraments' one of the most fateful books in the history of western civilisation. Despite his unfeigned zeal to extirpate heresy it was not until Henry began to take a serious interest in foreign affairs that he realised the practical value which such a work might have if dedicated to the Pope. It is difficult to estimate the spiritual influence of the papacy at a time when the vast majority of Christendom saw It as a not specially powerful temporal state; but it was none the less felt. How much Henry's anxiety to complete the book between May and July 1521 was activated real if romantic desire to become the champion of the papacy it is hard to say. This point of view may be supported by Henry's statement to a startled and incredulous Thomas More 47 that 'from that See we received our crown imperial. More could see the dangers of so firm commitment to the temporal if not to the spiritual power of the papacy and his misgivings were soon to be justified a hundredfold. Henry gained the recognition he sought from Leo X the title of Fidei Defensor. But had he not made so absolute an admission of papal authority it is unlikely that he would have felt so personally slighted by the Pope's refusal to give him his way in his 'great matter' the divorce from Catherine of Aragon; unlikely that he would have turned with such vehemence on almost all the advisers. More among them who had made his reign so successful hitherto; unlikely that he would have claimed the royal supremacy in the Church; unlikely- but there speculation must stop. Suffice it to say that the publication of the Assertio must be considered to mark a critical moment in the history of the English Reformation." PMM 50.<br> <br> ESTC S123359. PMM 50.

Text washed and pressed but except for the first and last few leaves without the typical resultant darkening and fading otherwise an extremely attractive copy still fresh the margins especially wide and the binding lustrous and scarcely worn.<br/> <br/> First issued in Latin in the same year as our edition this is the major work of English puritan Walter Travers 1548 - 1625 applying the Calvinist presbyterian system of ecclesiastical government to the episcopal Church of England. According to DNB for Calvin and Travers alike "the duty of the theologian was merely to identify the church's structure and apply it to contemporary circumstances. It was in this last respect that Travers's originality lay for he subtly adapted Calvin's biblical model to an English context. In order to undermine the diocesan episcopate of the English church Travers started off with an examination of the role of bishops in the New Testament showing that they were not part of a separate hierarchy with authority over other clergy but merely ministers of local congregations. He also differed from Calvin in identifying elders as a type of deacon rather than a separate kind of minister." Our book was written during Travers' 1570-76 sojourn in Geneva where he became a friend of Calvin's successor Theodore Beza. Afterwards he ministered to English merchant marines in Antwerp where he refused to use the Book of Common Prayer for worship. Despite this when Travers returned to England he became chaplain to Elizabeth's chief minister William Cecil and tutor to his son. As DNB notes "his close ties to influential courtiers of a Calvinist inclination" would be key to Travers' career keeping him out of serious trouble despite his strongly presbyterian views. Our volume has a distinguished provenance coming from the celebrated Broxbourne library of Albert Ehrman 1890-1969 a diamond merchant who gathered a fine collection of books at his home at Broxbourne in Hertfordshire. He spent half a century collecting books specializing in incunabula and early bindings as well as early type specimens and bibliographies. Feather says that "his collecting was intelligent and scholarly for he sought to illustrate the history of printing and the book trade and the early development of trade binding." Ehrman also authored learned articles on fine bindings and the history of printing. The present work is uncommon: we could trace just five copies at auction since 1979; only the 1979 copy contained the folding "Table" and that one was noted as "slightly defective and mounted on linen.".
