THESAURUS NOVUS THEOLOGICO-PHILOLOGICUS 'Sive sylloge dissertationum exedeticarum ad selectiora atque insigniora veteris et novi instrumenti loca; a theologis protesetantibus', the first of two volumes published by Apud Theodorum Haak, Leiden 1732, edited by Theodor Hase and Conrad Iken, one full-page engraved plate, folio, bound in embossed vellum, structure still sound, light soiling and use to binding, some sections of text age-toned, 39.5cm high Note: Critici sacri was a compilation of Latin biblical commentaries published in London from 1660, edited by John Pearson. The work appeared in nine volumes, and collected numerous authors, both Protestant and Catholic, of early modern critical work on the Bible setting off a series of subsequent related publications. The original work, while influential was not a connected Bible commentary, and was found to be long-winded, as well as scanty in other parts. Later publications attempted to address these shortcomings. An expanded edition was produced in Amsterdam from 1698 by a Dutch editorial group with two further supplementary volumes published in Amsterdam in 1701. These were followed up in 1732 by two further volumes of the Thesaurus novus theologico-philologicus, these were edited by Theodor Hase and Conrad Iken. This book is the first of these two volumes.
