Introductio in memorabilia ecclesiastica historiae sacrae Novi Testamenti by Christian Eberhard Weismann is a 1718 survey of the practices of the early church. Intended for both clergy and laymen, this book describes New Testament doctrines and how the early church implemented biblical direction into the church. Weismann, a Lutheran, offers practical advice on how to use the New Testament for study and church ceremony.

The tooled vellum makes this set an impressive display as well.
