Sobre este artículo
Halle: in Berlegung des Waysenhaus 1740, 1740. Third edition. 8vo. (170x95mm). pp. [xx], 1102, [50]. Full calf, decorated in gilt. All edges gilt and gauffered. Some rubbing to the covers and bumping and wear to the corners. Rubbing to the joints with some splitting to the joint with the upper cover. The foot of the spine is rubbed and the head is worn with some loss. Internally, an excellent copy, fresh and clean with only the usual browning found in German books of this period. Engraved frontispiece with six biblical scenes. The front pastedown has the armorial bookplate of Charles Kingsley and the verso of the ffep has the inscription: "Alexander Macmillan. From the study of Eversley Rectory. In memoriam Charles Kingsley. 1882". Johann Porsts (1668-1723) was a leading member of the Pietist movement which challenged the mainstream, orthodox Lutheran Church by stressing the need for personal holiness and an internalised spirituality. It was viewed as religiously suspect and socially divisive. Perhaps for this reason, Pietism was hugely important in eighteenth-century Germany and beyond, influencing John Wesley in his break from Anglicanism. Porsts moved to Berlin in 1695 where he became a pastor in 1698 and in 1709, the confessor to the Queen Consort of Prussia. Porsts was a tireless writer and proselytiser for Pietism. His two most celebrated works are the 1722 Theologia Viatorum Practica and 1723 Theologia practica regenitorum. 1723 also saw the first edition of this Compendium which combined extracts from both works. Of Porsts's writing, it has been said that "a profoundly devotional spirit pervades everything". Charles Kingsley's interest in Pietism was almost certainly academic and historical. He was Regius Professor of History at Cambridge and so one would expect to find in his library this central work from one of the most important and influential religious movements of the eighteenth century. Although Kingsley was unafraid of challenging religious orthodoxy, not least in his early support for Darwin, he was a mainstream Anglican, spending his last thirty years as the Rector of Eversley. It is from his study there that this book was passed, after Kingsley's death, to Alexander Macmillan, the founder of the publishing house, a friend of Kingsley and his publisher.

Sobre Voewood Rare Books
Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
