C1900s ORIGINAL GROUP of 15 HANDWRITTEN SPANISH-LANGUAGE MANUSCRIPTS of "THE PROCLAMATION of LIBERTY and the UNPARDONABLE SIN" by a REBEL SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST THEOLOGIAN and PREACHER
1986Tax included.
On offer is a superb archive of 15 original early 20th century edited manuscript notebooks of the Spanish-language version of Albion F. Ballengers 1915 publication "The Proclamation of Liberty and the Unpardonable Sin."
The covers of the notebooks are labelled from Proclama I to Proclama XV. Each contains approximately 38 pages and together they make up the complete handwritten Spanish-language manuscript of Ballenger's book "The Proclamation of Liberty and the Unpardonable Sin." The title page reads, "La Proclama de Libertad y el Pecado Imperdonable Por Albion F. Ballenger." The notebooks contain proofreaders' marks with minor corrections to words and punctuation, pasted-in clippings of Spanish bible passages to be quoted in the book, and directions on the placement of figures and illustrations. Comments relating to the corrections are made in English. One such comment in Proclama I reads, "Do never use the old form Jesu-Cristó. Say Jesucristó [...] you do not employ the Biblical form Jesús el Cristó."
The manuscripts' author, Albion Fox Ballenger, was born in Illinois in 1861. He and his brother Edward both became Seventh-day Adventist ministers. Albion Ballenger later began questioning the church's sanctuary doctrine, and published his opinions despite threats from the church. When he refused to accept the position of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, they stripped him of his ministerial credentials. In 1909 he published his views in the book "Cast Out for the Cross of Christ."
In the early 1900s Ballenger worked as a farmer, and continued writing and preaching. He published the book "Forty Fatal Errors Regarding the Atonement" in 1913, and "The Proclamation of Liberty and the Unpardonable Sin" in 1915. He also founded a magazine titled "The Gathering Call."
For religious scholars, these notebooks provide valuable primary-source material. They are also a fantastic addition to any historians or rare-book collectors library.
