Formatting: 8vo, pp. viii, 187.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The navy cloth boards remain exceptionally bright, clean, and tight, with sharp, unbumped corners and unoxidised, gleaming gilt lettering to the spine. The binding is perfectly square and firm, demonstrating no signs of rolling, splitting, or shelf-lean. Internally, the pages are crisp, bright, and completely free from foxing or spotting, with the text block edges showing only the faintest hint of uniform age-toning. The original dust jacket is similarly well-preserved, remaining fully intact with some mild, natural age-toning to the panels and very light rubbing to the extreme upper edges, but exhibiting no tears, chipping, or significant wear.

Catalogue Note: This is a first edition printing of Terence J. German's scholarly monograph, issued as part of the prestigious Oxford Theological Monographs series. The volume is unillustrated, relying entirely on the author's rigorous textual and historical analysis of Johann Georg Hamann.

First editions of this specific title are scarce on the open antiquarian market today, particularly in such sharp, well-preserved condition with the original dust jacket fully intact.

In Hamann on Language and Religion, Terence J. German provides a meticulous examination of the 18th-century German philosopher and theologian Johann Georg Hamann, frequently cited as a crucial counter-Enlightenment thinker. The text explores Hamann's complex understanding of language as a divine revelation and its foundational role in human reason, positioning his idiosyncratic and deeply religious thought against the prevailing rationalism of his era.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
