First edition.
A polemical piece of textual criticism directed against Nicolaus Selneccer and his interpretation of Greek works pertaining to the resurrection of Christ. The Bamberg theologian Rüdinger (1523-91) was a tutor at Joachim Camerarius's home; he later taught physics at Wittenberg, where he joined the Moravian Brethren and was evicted from Saxony as a crypto-Calvinist.
Some brownstaining; occasional underlinings by a contemporary hand. A large tear to f. A3 has been repaired by an earlier owner, resulting in the loss of a line of text.
