Rare Hungarian printing of a commentary on the history of the Protestant Church in Hungary. Luther's and Calvin's Reformations were widely accepted in Hungary in the 16th century but by the 19th century the vast majority of the population were Catholics, like their Habsburg rulers.

Exceptionally attractive contemporary binding (likely Hungarian) combining blue, orange and green title labels on gilt embossed marbled calf, with floral endpapers. From the library of the Counts of Harrach. KVK shows copies in four German libraries and the Austrian National Library.
