The Life of Jesus. by RENAN, Ernest

London: Arthur L. Humphreys, 1906. Half morocco, 8 3/4 inches tall. A rather spectacular half morocco by Bumpus with wide gilt bands and highly decorative gilt tooled panels. Gilt top edge, the remainder deckled. With the bookplate of Annie Cowdray, Viscountess Cowdray, English suffragist and philanthropist and that of the Library of the Late Christopher Foyle of Beeleigh Abbey. This is a typically luxurious printing by Humphreys, finely printed on hand-made paper. A splendid copy of this controversial biography of Christ translated from the original French.
