Author: W.K. Publication date: 1721. Era: eighteenth century, first half. Language: archaic Dutch. Subject: Christian spiritual reflection Copy of “Het geestelyk manna voor de hongerige zielen: of de christelijke waerheden” (The spiritual manna for the hungry souls), a work of spiritual edification. The text offers a practical moral guide for the faithful that flourished in the United Provinces during the eighteenth century. Signed under the initials W. K., the text avoids complex dogmatisms to offer a practical moral guide, drawn directly from a meticulous study of the scriptures of the apostles. Printed in the historic city of Utrecht by Theodorus vanden Eynden in the year 1721, the cover constitutes a superb testimony to Dutch editorial refinement. The design stands out for its elegant bicromatic composition in red and black inks on parchment paper, designed to hierarchize sacred texts. The page is presided in its central area by a timely quotation from Matthew 4:4 about the bread of faith, which rests on a woodcut engraving of an ornamental Baroque-style shield. A piece of great historical value, suitable for collectors focused on Reformation theology and the history of European printing. Number of pages: 512 Dimensions: 16 x 11 cm
