‎Summary This book explores the aesthetic consequences of Protestantism in Scandinavia. Fourteen case studies from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century discuss five abstract and trans-historical principles that characterize Scandinavian aesthetics and that arguably derive from Protestant thinking and practice, namely: simplicity, logocentrism, tension between pronounced individualism and collectivism, relatedness to the world, and ethics. The contributions address the peculiar aesthetics of Scandinavian print, literature, architecture, film, and opera and reflect on the influence of Protestant traditions on the establishment of genres and writing practices. This volume is the first in a new series that will focus on the aesthetics of Protestantism in Scandinavia, both theoretically and through exemplary individual analyses.

‎Das Wesen Des Christentums. - [LIBERAL PROTESTANTISM - PMM 390]‎

‎Leipzig, J. C. Hinrichs, 1900. 8vo. Contemporary green half cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Very light brownspotting to front free end-paper and title-page, otherwise a very fine and clean copy. (4), 189, (3) pp.‎

‎The very rare first edition of Harnack's seminal and hugely popular work on the essence of Christianity, which later gave birth to the movement of Liberal Protestantism. Today it is widely regarded as being one of the most influential works of modern protestantism. ""No other book has so deeply stirred the world of theological thought as Harnack's work on the essence of Christianity"" (The Catholic University bulletin, 9. Binding, P. 206).""Harnack expounded what he believed to be the core of the Christian religion, set free from the encrustations of dogma that had been laid down through the centuries. The core is to be reached by penetrating back to the teaching of Jesus himself, and Harnack represented this teaching as proclaiming the fatherhood of God, the infinite worth of the human soul, and the ethical ideal of the kingdom of God. The supposedly original gospel of Jesus is also claimed to be the only version of Christianity that can make sense for modern minds, since it is free from theological and metaphysical mystifications."" (Borchert, Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Vol. 4, P. 228).""These lectures of 'The Essence of Christianity' by the then professor of church history at Berlin University were received with an enthusiasm unparalleled for centuries in the field of religious pamphleteering. They proclaimed the fundamental concord of the tenets of the early Church as preserved in the non-Roman Churches with the social and economic morality of the twentieth"" and innumerable reprints and translations broadcast this message of liberal Protestantism all over the world. [...] Harnack's influence upon the intellectual life of Germany was enormous"". (PMM 390)The vast popularity of the of the book is attested to by the well documented fact that at one point in 1900 the railway terminal in Leipzig was brought to a standstill by goods trains loaded with printed copies of the book!PMM 390‎

‎Second edition (following the original of 1509) of the final two parts of Estienne's typographic masterpiece ""Quincuplex Psalterium"", also known as the ""First book of French Protestantism"". These two final parts, which make up complete works in themselves, consist in the ""Psalterium Vetus"" - the Old Latin Psalter (i.e. the version used by the churches before Jerome's revisions) and the ""Psaltarium Conciliatum"", consisting in Lefevre's own version, based on the Vulgate text corrected according to the Hebrew text and using the Aristarchian signs. This spledid publication had an immense impact upon protestantism, early bible-scholarship, and theology in general and is famed because of its beauty, elegance, and typographical excellence along with its immense importance historically speaking. ""Lefèvre's epoch-making work was awaited impatiently by the learned world, and is the topic of many a letter among the extant humanist correspondence of the period: thus, Cardinal Ximeèz, the future editor of the first polyglot Bible, in a letter to Charles de Bovelles, praises Lefèvre's scholarship and the usefulness of his ""Psalterium"". This famous volume is also Henri Estienne's typographical masterpiece and is commonly singled out as one of the outstanding monuments of early 16th-century French typography."" (Schreiber). ""Lefèvre agreed with Erasmus that theology must be based on accurate texts and translations of the Scriptures"" as the title of the volume indicates, Lefèvre presents five different versions of the psalms"" (Schreiber). As described, the present copy contains the final two. The three parts that were printed before those two, were all printed in three columns and consisted in the three versions of St Jerome, namely the ""Psalterium Romanum"" (Jerome's first version of the Old Latin Psalter according to the Septuagint), the ""Psalterium Gallicum"" (Jerome's second revision, first adopted by the churches of Gaul), and the ""Psalterium Hebraicum"" (Jerome's translation directly from the Hebrew). Schreiber nr. 8 (1509 ed.)" Renouard 1509, nr. 1. Mortimer 1, nr. 62 (present edition). ‎
