Historical Provenance: Heinrich Möller (1530 - 1589; also Henricus Möller or Henrich Müller) was a German Protestant theologian. Moller was drawn to theological studies and studied the minor prophets from the original text of the Bible. This text, one of his larger and more complicated works has 29 different editions printed from 1619 to 1974 and is still in circulation today. Jo: Brown is the Revered John Brown, founding member of the Brown-Lindsay library at the United Presbyterian College Library, Edinburgh. This text was deaccessioned when that Library was dispersed amongst the three Free Church Colleges following union in 1900. “Following the formation of the United Presbyterian Church in 1847, the Rev. John Brown, D.D. (1784-1858) and the Rev. William Lindsay, D.D. (1802-1866) were among the founding members of the College and its first two professors of Exegetical Theology. Several of the texts offered here formed part of their library, reflect their own interests and those of their time, but also contain a range of subject matter which mark them as theologians with a knowledge of much wider religious questions and their implications. The majority of this collection encompasses 300 years of the history of the dissenting Presbyterian Churches but also includes unusual rarities reflecting wider religious issues. Dating from the seventeenth through to the nineteenth centuries, they are predominantly Presbyterian and there is an inevitable anti-Catholic and anti-Episcopalian tone throughout the collection. Many of the rare, early pamphlets relate to the early dissent from the established church and the formation of the Secession Church. Other, seventeenth-century works are concerned with the religious questions of monarchy, church and state brought about by the English Civil War and, later, the union of 1707. Many of the eighteenth-century works concentrate on the wider implications for the churches brought about by the questions of philosophy and religion, events such as the French Revolution and greater religious toleration.”* *University of Aberdeen, The Brown-Lindsay and Christ’s College Pamphlet Collection, www.abdn.ac.uk _____________________________________ Rare Bibles specializes in early printed English Bibles, books, manuscripts, and objet d'art.
