Additional Details

scarce first edition. Ravisius (1613-77) was a German-born orientalist who taught at Oxford and Uppsala, among other places; "his peculiar theories on biblical chronology . . . met with almost universal derision . . . most of his numerous publications were issued by himself in minuscule editions, paid for by himself, and are extremely rare" (ODNB).
