Scarce, original 1844 antiquarian pamphlet: "Calvin on Romish Relics: Being An Inventory Of Saints' Relics..." translated by M.M. Backus. Published in New York by S.W. Benedict & Co., this 48-page softcover document is a fascinating piece of 19th-century American religious publishing history and an incredibly rare find for collectors of Reformation theology or anti-Catholic polemics.
Author: John Calvin (Translated by M.M. Backus).Title: Calvin on Romish Relics: Being An Inventory Of Saints' Relics, Personally Seen By Him In Spain, Italy, France And Germany.Publisher: S.W. Benedict & Co., New York.Year: 1844.Format: Softcover/Pamphlet; 48 pages).Binding: Original traditional string binding.
Very Good antiquarian condition, esp. considering its 180+ year age.
Why This Is Rare: Most surviving copies of this specific 1844 M.M. Backus translation are locked away in permanent institutional archives, such as the New York Public Library. It is highly uncommon to see an original printing hit the open commercial market in collectible, complete condition.
