Sobre este artículo
London: J. Darby and T. Browne, 1733. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. FIRST EDITION, AN EXTRAORDINARY COPY IN ORIGINAL BOARDS. "Especially interested in biblical prophecies, [Newton] studied everything he could on the topic, whether written in Greek, Aramaic, Latin, or Hebrew. He compiled long lists of various interpretations... The two primarily prophetic books of the Bible, namely Daniel and the Apocalypse (Revelation), especially interested him. Studying them he used the same analytical approach that he employed when examining nature. Developing a series of 15 'rules for interpreting the words and language in Scripture,' he regarded the prophecies in the two different books as a foretelling of world history. Many current interpretations of these biblical books still echo those of Newton's. Several years after his death his studies in this area were published as Observations Upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. John" (Roth, Science Discovers God).
London: J. Darby and T. Browne, 1733. Quarto (215 x 270 mm), original boards sympathetically rebacked with paper spine and paper label; uncut. Custom box. Neat early owner signature. Handsome early marginal annotations on three pages. Scattered light foxing (mostly to beginning and end of text); text generally exceptionally clean. An extremely large, wide-margined copy.
