‎The exceedingly rare first edition of Boyd’s most substantial and arguably most famous prose treatise, a text written in the ‘Ars moriendi’-tradition. It ""must be accounted among the scarcest of seventeenth century Scottish books"" (Weir, Bibliographical Notices of 'The Last Battell of the Soule in Death'). Zacharie Boyd (c. 1585–1653) was a Scottish clergyman, poet and supporter of Presbyterianism. He studied at the University of Glasgow and served as minister of the Barony Church and Vice-Chancellor of the university. Boyd is best known for his ‘Boyd's Bible’, a paraphrase of Scripture into Scottish verse and the present work. Lowndes only list the 1629-edition. ‎
