A superbly attractive imprint of the Humphrey Prideaux's [1648-1724] classic on the interaction of the Old Testament and New Testaments with a special emphasis on the inter-testamental period. Prideaux was Dean of Norwich and one of the foremost Orientalists of his time, and this his magnum opus. 

The work was deeply influential and remains a standard in any competent theological library. Indeed, many years ago we sold the well-loved copy owned by Jonathan Edwards. Spurgeon quotes Prideaux extensively throughout his Treasury of the David [i.e. the Psalms].  A fine, full leather example with exemplary folding plates throughout.
