Parisiis: Sumptibus Michaelis Sonnii, Sebastiani Cramoisy, Caroli Morelli. 1628. 2 vols. Vol. 10 & 15 (as issued no others printed). Folios. Libri Decem - pp [8], 548, 195, [13pp Index].; Libri Qvindecim pp [16], 856 pp. [24pp Index], 82pp [2pp Erratum]. Eusebius of Caesarea (AD 260/265 339/340), also known as Eusebius Pamphili, was a Greek historian of Christianity, exegete, and Christian polemicist. He became the bishop of Caesarea Maritima about 314 AD. Together with Pamphilus, he was a scholar of the Biblical canon and is regarded as an extremely well learned Christian of his time. He wrote Demonstrations of the Gospel, Preparations for the Gospel, and On Discrepancies between the Gospels, studies of the Biblical text. As "Father of Church History" he produced the Ecclesiastical History, On the Life of Pamphilus, the Chronicle and On the Martyrs. Both volumes are bound in contemporary vellum with elaborate gilt crest to all the boards and the inscription in gilt SIC ITUR AD ASTRA . The phrase has origins with Virgil, who wrote sic itur ad astra ("thus one journeys to the stars"), from Aeneid book IX, line 641, spoken by Apollo to Aeneas's young son Iulus, and opta ardua pennis astra sequi, ("desire to pursue the high (or hard to reach) stars on wings" book XII, lines 892 893, spoken by Aeneas to his foe Turnus in their combat). Internally (first page) there is a full page signed and dated 1786 by a Rector stating: Egregium summaegne spei ADOLESCENTEM followed by handwritten text Ex Gymnasio in Academiam dimissum ob progressus in humanioribus litteris non vulgares, hoc praemio donandum censuerunt AMPLISSIMI GRAVISSIMIQUE AMISFURTENSIS GYMNASII CURATORES Which roughly translates: From the school to the Academy on account of the progress achieved in the study of humanities to receive the reward in the opinion of this most noble AMISFURTENSIS School Curators Dimensions - 14 inches by 9 and a half inches by 2 to 3 inches   Condition Report Externally Spine good condition gilt titles and decoration, faded and discoloured as happens with vellum.
