Groenewegen, Henricus.
Theology 1682 | Keten der prophetische godgeleerdheyd, bewijsende dat de uytlegginge van de Openbaringe Joannis, is een ware sleutel der prophetien, Enchuysen H. van Straalen 1682, (6)+1000+(34) pp. Complete with the engraved portrait and folding table.
An intriguing seventeenth-century Dutch theological work exploring the relationship between the Book of Revelation, the Song of Solomon and the prophecies of the Old Testament.
Written by Henricus Groenewegen, minister of the Reformed Church at Enkhuizen, the work presents an elaborate interpretation of biblical prophecy, seeking to demonstrate the fundamental agreement between different prophetic books of Scripture.
The volume includes an impressive engraved portrait of the author, dated 1681, after a painting by P. van Neck and engraved by Christiaan van Hagen, as well as a large folding comparative table illustrating the correspondences between Revelation, the Song of Solomon and the prophetic writings.
Of particular interest is the printed statement intended to distinguish authentic copies from unauthorized reproductions, accompanied by a handwritten signature reading Henricus Groenewegen. The publisher explicitly states that genuine copies are distinguished by the author’s portrait and signature.
Contemporary vellum binding, with visible staining, rubbing and wear. Internally showing age-related browning and occasional spotting. The engraved portrait and folding table are present. Complete copy: *6(-*6) A-6K4 2A-D4 2E2 (with folding table).
Provenance: With handwritten inscription of Otto Woudenberg Meerkerk (or Heerkerk?) and N.C. de Rhoter, Van Imhoffstraat 41 Utrecht. It is registered that Otto Woudenberg (1840-1894) died in Meerkerk (Utrecht) on 15 march 1894. He was married to Neeltje Bot. His mother was Frederica van der Sluis.
[NL] Zeventiende-eeuws werk over de uitleg van de Openbaring van Johannes, met een fraai gegraveerd auteursportret en een grote uitvouwbare tabel. Handgeschreven authenticatie door Henricus Groenewegen waarmee oorspronkelijke exemplaren van nadrukken moesten worden onderscheiden. Henricus Groenewegen (ca. 1640–1692) was een invloedrijke Nederlandse gereformeerde predikant en aanhanger van de theologie van Johannes Coccejus. Hij wordt beschouwd als de geestelijke vader van de zogenoemde Leidse of Groene Coccejanen. Zijn werk uit 1682 riep destijds theologische tegenreacties op, onder anderen van Henricus Brinck. In 1703 zou het nog eens worden herdrukt.
