BOULAINVILLIERS, Henri de, Comte.
The Life of Mahomet. Translated from the French Original ...
First Edition in English, published and translated by the poet and bookseller William Hinchliffe (1691–1742) from La vie de Mahomet published the same year at Amsterdam by the freethinker Henri de Boulainvilliers (1658–1722). In his preface Hinchliffe expresses admiration for Muhammad and denounces popish corruption.
Octavo (194 × 116 mm). Contemporary panelled calf, skilfully rebacked to style with gilt spine and red morocco label. A hint of marginal foxing, but a very good copy, the contents clean and fresh, retaining a few uncut edges.
