Sobre este artículo
Venice: Bartholomaeus de Zanis, 10 November, 1500 The sixth and final fifteenth-century edition of Eusebius's Preparation of the Gospel, first published by Jenson in 1470. . Nineteenth century half vellum over boards, covered with printed leaves from an incunabulum. . Folio. Complete with the final blank. Woodcut initials throughout. Covers lightly soiled, bookplate removed from front pastedown, first leaf with contemporary ownership inscription. With early fabric tabs or remains of fabric tabs at twelve places in the text. A very good, clean copy, preserved in modern brown cloth clamshell slipcase. The Preparation for the Gospel is a significant work by Eusebius Caesariensis (AD 260/265 – 339/340), who is best known for writing the first surviving history of the Christian Church as a chronologically-ordered account, complete from the time of the Apostles to his own time. The Preparation is an introduction to Christianity for pagans, in which the author attempts to prove the excellence of Christianity over pagan religion and philosophy. Its fifteen books have been completely preserved. For later readers, it is of particular value because it contains added information from historians and philosophers which is not available elsewhere, including excerpts from the writings of Porphyry, the Phoenician priest Sanchunianthon, the Platonist philosopher Atticus and the Middle Platonist philosopher Numenius of Apamea

Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
