Benjamin Elbel was born at Friedberg, Bavaria and belonged to the Strasburg Franciscan province, was lector of theology, and held high positions in the order. His major work, "Theologia moralis decalogalis et sacramentalis" passed rapidly through several editions. This set from the Mt.. St. Alphonsus Seminary Library of Esopus, New York.

Wear and soiling to bindings with rubbing to leather and extremities, library labels at heels of spines; some library labels and markings on preliminary pages, library pockets with cards affixed to read endpapers, some darkening to text block, interiors solid; very good.
