A work by the German philologist and Biblical scholar Michaelis brought into the English-speaking world.

Vellum-bound duodecimo with external straps and remnants of clasps. 22 pages of Latin grammar followed by 162 pages of manuscript extracts taken from the 1780 English translation of Michaelis’s Introductory Lectures, preceded by a manuscript title page. The unnamed manuscript writer skips over the generalised bibliographical and philological opening of the book and proceeds to the sections devoted to elucidating the Gospels themselves, beginning with St Matthew.

John David Michaelis (1717-1791) Professor of Philosophy and Oriental Languages at Gottingen, was heavily influenced by Locke who is frequently cited in this text. He visited England and translated Richardson’s Clariss; in this very extensive precis of his work in English we see the depth of influence he exerted on the Anglo Saxon world.
