4to. pp. [xxiv], 76, [xlviii]. First edition, Greek and Latin text, printed in red and black, one or two early ink annotations, wide margins, contemporary calf, rubbed, rebacked preserving original spine.
First (and only STC edition) of the first letter of St.Clement to the Corinthians (together with the surviving fragment of the second, now thought to be a homily by another author) and also the first edition of the Latin translation by Patrick Young, royal librarian to James I and Charles I. The innovative (and - from a type-setting point of view - highly complex) printing in red indicates where text has been supplied by Young to fill lacunae in the original manuscript (the celebrated Codex Alexandrinus which was presented to Charles I by the Patriarch of Constantinople through the agency of Thomas Roe). Clement was one of the earliest Bishops of Rome, c. 92-99 AD, and his letter to the Cornithian church is the only surviving work which can be ascribed to him with confidence. As such it is one of the earliest Christian documents extant and sheds important light on the early church., STC 5398; Madan I, 166.
