Kant's Theorie der Reinmoralischen Religion mit Rücksicht auf das Reine Christenthum kurz Dargestellt.

A really lovely copy of this summary of Kant’s Die Religion innerhalb der Grenzen der Bloßen Vernunft (1793, Religion Within the Bounds of Pure Reason) by the philosopher and lecturer Gregor Leonhard Reiner (1756-1807), significant as an early Catholic proponent of Kantian philosophy.

‘The work has no originality; but is very well adapted for its purpose, — to spare the public which desires to obtain no more than a general and superficial notion of the contents of Rel. the reading of the book itself. That, indeed, is shown by the number of pirated editions. The author gives an easily understood account of the contents of Die Religion in short, clear sentences, arranged in paragraphs; and endeavours to meet any possible confusion of Kant’s favourite symbolical-moral interpretation or translation of the historical facts of Christianity with a dogmatic setting of them’ (Adickes, German Kantian Bibliography, p. 310).
