THE RELATIONS CHURCH-STATE IN EUROPE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE

Pufendorf, Samuel. Introductio ad historiam Europaeam, Latine reddita a Jo. Frid. Cramero. Editio tertia, a multis erroribus emendata, et Compendio historiae Sueciae, aucta. Ultrajecti, ex officina Guilielmi van de Water, 1702.

8vo (166x95 mm), contemporary brown morocco binding, three gilt borders and fleurons at covers, pp. [40], 673, [27].
Full-page engraved portrait of the author at frontispiece; headletters head and tail pieces, finely engraved.

Notable legal-philosophical account of the history of Europe, with a special attention on the relations between Church and States and on the importance of intellectual and religious toleration.

Because of the clarity and comprehensiveness of Pufendorf's works, their intellectual acuity and their polemical edge and consequent notoriety, the work was translated into many European languages.
