Half-inch split along head of spine on Vol. I and along tail of spine on Vol. II. Decorated endpapers. Small part of text on title page bottom clipped (as published).

Dr. Eisenmenger's banned book was reprinted in a second edition in 1711, after his death, by the Protestant King of Prussia, in defiance of the Catholic emperor. Even those 2nd edition copies typically sell for thousands of dollars, even in poor-fair condition.

This is a beautiful first-edition set of Professor Eisenmenger's 309-year-old banned masterwork at an excellent price. An exceptional rarity of great historical significance. Don't let it get away.
