Discover a foundational study of early Catholic doctrine and church history.
This edition presents Ninian Winzet’s translation of Vincentius Lirinensis’ Commonitorium, now with an Introduction, notes, and a detailed glossarial index. It also includes The Certane Tractatis as context, enriching the reader’s understanding of early Christian teaching and its reception in Scotland and beyond.
The second volume offers careful scholarly apparatus: an introduction that situates the work in its era, historical notes that explain references and terms, and a glossary to navigate the era’s language. The translation is paired with annotations that illuminate the text’s arguments about Scripture, heresies, and the unity of belief in Christ.
