ANTIQUE 1780 SALZBURG GERMAN BOOK — AUSERLESENE REDEN VON DER ALLERSELIGSTEN JUNGFRAU MARIA
A beautiful and exceptionally well-preserved 18th-century German religious book, printed in Salzburg in 1780.
The title translates approximately as:
“Selected Discourses on the Most Blessed Virgin and Mother of God Mary, on Various Feasts of Hers.”
The book is a collection of Marian sermons and religious discourses associated with various feast days honoring the Virgin Mary. It offers a fascinating glimpse into Catholic religious thought and devotional life in Salzburg more than 240 years ago.
The full German title is:
Außerlesene Reden von der allerseligsten Jungfrau und Mutter Gottes Maria auf verschiedene derselben Festtage.
Bibliographic records identify the book as a Salzburg 1780 Waisenhausbuchhandlung printing, in octavo format with 512 pages. The authorship is not identified in the bibliographic records I found, so I am offering it as an anonymous 18th-century collection of Marian sermons.
CONDITION
Exceptional condition for a book of this age.
This copy is remarkably clean and well preserved, with a full leather binding and a tight, sound binding. The book presents exceptionally well for a volume dating to 1780.
Please examine the photographs, which are part of the description and show the actual book being offered.
A wonderful addition for a collector of 18th-century German books, Salzburg printing, Catholic religious history, Marian devotion, theology, or antique books in beautiful original condition.
