[Munich]. [16], 296 printed pages (but lacks leaf G6, probably a blank recto and an illustrated verso? The catch-word at the foot of G5 does not indicate any loss of text, since it corresponds precisely with the first printed word of G7). Engraved title-page and eight engraved full-page illustrations after Ph. Sadeler - beautiful little copperplate engravings of the joys of Heaven. Leaf D2 with small burn affecting two printed words. Some old mild staining in a few inner margins and plates. Mild foxing in the last and first few leaves. Speckled edges. Original cream endpapers. 49 x 98 mm. Contemporary full calf; spine with three raised bands with blind horizontal rules; covers with double ruled blind borders and an extra vertical line either side of the spine. Original brass bosses and leather and brass clasps. Front cover damaged from a worm cast; four minuscule worm holes in the back cover. Lower brass clasp missing. Rich patina. Drexel (1581-1638) was a Jesuit writer and a professor of humanities and rhetoric. Considerations on Eternity was first published in 1620 in Munich. Not in Bondy, nor Spielmann, nor Welsh.
