Beattie, William, M.D. The Waldenses, or Protestant Valley of Piedmont, Dauphiny, and The Ban De La Roche.
London George Virtue 1838, First Edition No Jacket Three-Quarter Leather Very Good 4to., 216pp. The Waldenses of Italy who flourished in the Piedmont Valley and Languedoc relied on Scripture alone, and thus denied the Roman Catholic teaching on Purgatory and Indulgences. Between the institutional church and existing governments, a campaign to extirpate them led to several hundred of their members being burned at the stake. Before his understanding of 'sola scriptura,' Martin Luther accepted the church's teaching that they had merely been heretics. Writing in 1533 he wrote thay had "laid aside the doctrines of men and were well versed in the knowledge of scriptures." This is the first major major devoted to the Waldenses, with a map detailing the locations of their communities, and lovely steel engravings showing the Piedmont region and the small Protestant Church. This copy has been professionally rebacked with new endpapers, and new calf spine with oak devices and gilt letters on red panels. Original paper boards have moderate rubbing. Library marks are restricted to the title page and top and bottom edges. In addition, a dampstain on front pages does not extent to the frontispiece image. Most pages are free of foxing on the image. Scarce.
