Jeremy Taylor (15 August 1613 13 August 1667) was a cleric in the Church of England who achieved fame as an author during the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. He is sometimes known as the "Shakespeare of Divines" for his poetic style of expression and was often presented as a model of prose writing. He is remembered in the Church of England's calendar of saints with a Lesser Festival on 13 August. William Cave (30 December 1637 4 August 1713) was an English divine and patristic scholar.

Leather. Condizione: Fair. Two Volumes in one. A regency leatherbound volume with marble paper covered boards, engraved frontispiece, and illustrations. William Cave (December 30, 1637 July 4, 1713) was an English divine. Cave was born at Pickwell, Leicestershire. He was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, and successively held the livings of Islington (1662), of All-Hallows the Great, Upper Thames Street, London (1679), and of Isleworth in Middlesex (1690). Cave was chaplain to Charles II, and in 1684 became a canon of Windsor, Berkshire, where he died. The two works on which his reputation principally rests are the Apostolici, or History of Apostles and Fathers in the first three centuries of the Church (1677), and Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Historia Literaria (1688). In both works he was drawn into controversy with Jean Leclerc, who was then writing his Bibliothèque universelle et historique, and who accused him of partiality. He wrote several other works of the same nature which exhibit scholarly research and lucid arrangement. He is said to have been a good talker and an eloquent preacher. In a half calf binding.
