Folio (325 x 200). Woodcut printer\'s device on title and colophon, woodcut initials. Contemporary paneled calf, rebacked, two brass clasps.

FIRST EDITION of what was to be a first volume on Pistorius\' compendium of Kabalistic literature. A second volume, covering Jewish rather than Christian literature on the subject, was planned but never completed.

He entered the priesthood, and served as religious adviser and confessor to Emperor Rudolph II. Adams P-1315; Caillet 8702; Graesse V, 535.
