Description

A 19th century French work titled Études d’Histoire Religieuse by Ernest Renan, published in Paris in 1863 (sixième édition revue et corrigée).

Renan was a prominent historian and philosopher, widely recognised for his influence on religious scholarship and critical historical analysis during the period.

This volume is bound in a half leather binding with raised bands to the spine, paired with decorative marbled paper boards, reflecting typical mid-19th century French bookbinding practices.

A well-preserved and characterful volume with both academic significance and decorative appeal, suitable for collectors of antiquarian books, French literature, or scholarly works.
