Good edition, published by J.B. Carpzov, illustrated with a frontispiece and a copper-engraved map of Judea in the text (see Graesse IV, 209).
The work includes numerous passages printed in Hebrew.
See Röhricht, p. 240, for a separate edition of the geographical and topographical prefaces to each gospel ("chorographia").
Contemporary full stiff ivory vellum binding, smooth spine, large later-added brown morocco title label mounted on the back, bookplate pasted on the inside cover, red edges.
Some black stains on the boards.
This is the author's most important work; he also dedicated two other volumes to the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles of Saint Paul.
