Rad. Thoresby'; the first work with 14pp. of closely written latin notes prior to title, in title margins, in some text margins, & concluding on 11pp. following text. * The Book of Revelation was used by protestant propogandists to give currency to the Reformation (the Pope being the Anti-Christ), & James had taken verses from this (& other biblical texts) to emphasise his religious position & monarchial status, culminating in none less than the Authorised (King James) Version of the Bible. John Napier (1550-1615) better known as a mathematician (& inventor of logarithms) apart from the Book's relevance to mathematics, reinforces this approach - his dedicatory preface (to the King) warns of the catholic shadow, & ' the apparent danger of papistry arriving in these islands'. Fortunately these related & rare titles have come together to form one book; see also internet condition report. Illustrated
