* Item Description
- Veteris hominis per expensa quatuor novissima metamorphosis, et novi genesis, 1682, (26) 1-398 plus index COMPLETE. 4 5/8 by 2 3/4. Binding rubbed. Pages mildly browned. Gorgeously illustrated. This work is attributed to the Jesuit author Guillaume Stanyhurst. This work, rendered in Latin, belongs to a genre of 17th‐century mystical and theological treatises that explore the transformation of the human soul. Its title can be roughly translated as “Of the old man, through the expenditure (or undergoing) of four final metamorphoses, and a new genesis (creation).” Essentially, it allegorically portrays the death of the spiritually old or sinful self and the rebirth into a renewed, divine state—a theme common among Jesuit and Catholic mystical writings of that era.
