Bemerkung:

Edges slightly bumped, otherwise very good condition, free of markings./Kanten leicht bestoßen, sonst sehr guter Zustand, frei von Anstreichungen. - From the Introduction - Valla's treatise effectively established for the world generally the proof of the falsity of the Donation. Moreover, for the first time, he used effectively the method of studying the usage of words in the variations of their meaning and application, and other devices of internal criticism which are the tools of historical criticism to-day. So, while Valia s little book may seem slight beside later masterpieces of investigation and beside systematic treatises in larger fields, it is none the less a landmark in the rise of a new science.
