Full title: La Vie de Jésus-Christ, tirée des Quatre Évangiles et réduite en un Corps d’Histoire

The life of Jesus as told through a harmonising of the four Gospels. The second half of volume three includes "Les Actes des Apostres, ou L'Histoire de l'Eglise Naissant" (The Acts of the Apostles, or the History of the Nascent Church), as the author argues that the life of Jesus didn't end with the Ascension but continued through the life and works of his followers.

Condition

Good for age. The leather is rubbed and bumped as expected. The contents are in strong readable condition, with light tanning to the pages and the inner binding is secure.
