[SPINOZA, BARUCH.] Tractatus theologico-politicus. [12], 233, [7] pages, including final blank. Some use of Hebrew type. 4to, modern mottled leather; repaired clean tear across M4, minor repair in blank outer margin of Y1r. Armorial bookplate of the Earl of Marchmont dated 1702 on title verso. Hamburg: Henricus Künrath, 1670 [i. e., Amsterdam, after 1677?]
Fourth edition, with "Künrath" in the title imprint, and page 130 misnumbered 830. First published in 1670, " . . . an extension to political thought of his ethical views . . . the Tractatus contains the first clear statement of the independence of each other of philosophy and religion, in that speculation and precepts of conduct cannot collide" (PMM). The date of 1670 was retained in editions subsequent to the first, "since a new edition would provide new ammunition for the groups clamoring for the ban of the book" (Bamberger). Bamberger T.4; Printing and the Mind of Man 153; Van der Linde 3.<
