Heilsame Worte von der Pflicht eines glaubigen Vertrauens auf Gott!
Hanover, Forster, 1731. 4to. In contemporary full calf with four raised bands with richly gilt spine. Leather on spine and boards with a few scratches. Small paper-label pasted on to top of spine. Internally very nice and clean. (38), 1036, (64) pp. + frontispiece.
Exceedingly rare first and only edition of Oesterreich’s work on the Christian duty to place trust in God, emphasizing faith as a fundamental aspect of a believer’s life. Not much is known about Anton August Oesterreich (1692-1745) other than he functioned as Pastor in Riddagshausen. We have not been able to trace a single copy in the trade and only two copies on OCLC (Ostfriesische Bibliothek and Herzog August Bibliothek)
