Lactantius is credited as being an important advisor to Roman emperor Constantine I, and was integral in shaping his religious policy. The work explores a number of his works including 'De Falsa Sapientia', a notable work regarding 'false wisdom'. Like many of Lactantius's contemporaries, the work is influenced by pagan and philosophical thought. 912 pages with 33 pages index.Text in latin.

Lusius Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius 250-325, was born a Pagan, became an early Chrisian apologist, was declared Professor of Rhetoric by emperor Diocletian before resigning and living in poverty, was subsequently reinstated to high office as Latin tutor to the son of Crispus,the latter becoming Caesar and being put to death by his father Constantine. The volume in hand contains all surviving works, and is beautifully bound in vellum, the same used for the Magna Carta and all laws in England. Only one Vellum maker remains in the UK. An increasingly uncommon Edition, bound in an increasingly uncommon material, by an increasingly sought after author. His works were copied in manuscript several times in the 15th century and were first printed in 1465 by the Germans Arnold Pannartz and Konrad Sweynheim at the Abbey of Subiaco, the first book printed in Italy to have a date of printing. It was probably the fourth book ever printed in Italy. A copy of this 1465 edition was sold at auction in 2000 for more than $1 million.

An attractive and well preserved binding. Some wear to endpapers, pencil notes to blank and pastedown, light soiling and staining to last few pages. Title p…age has been trimmed, neatly repaired and redacted - probably when rebound, apparently to remove ownership marks (but possibly a cancel). Scattered minor foxing. Ahmanson-Murphy 132.

The first Aldine edition of Lacantius' Divine Institutes along with a selection of Tertullian's apologetics. Lactantius was the first dated book printed in Italy (at the Subiaco commune by Conradus Sweynheym and Arnoldus Pannartz). It is famous as the first sustained defense of Christianity against pagan attacks, for the quality of it's prose, Lactantius' shaky grasp of scripture, and a section mocking the idea of a round earth which was specifically mentioned by Copernicus in his introduction to De revolutionibus orbium coelestium ("For it is not unknown that Lactantius, the writer celebrated in other ways but very little in mathematics, spoke somewhat childishly of the shape of the earth when he derided those who declared the earth had the shape of a ball. So it ought not to surprise students if such should laugh at us also.") Provenance: armorial bookplate of Paui van de Woestijne "Gandavensis" (of Ghent). Nicola Perrarca (?) early signature to title.

Franc. Presbyt. Bauchieri [] Theol. Dr.' to front flyleaf.A closely read copy of Lactantius's encyclopaedia of Christian apologetics, defending and explaining the Christian faith. Lactantius (c.250c.325), from north Africa, taught rhetoric at the imperial court in Nicomedia, where he witnessed the Christian persecutions of Diocletian. According to Jackson Bryce's online bibliography of Lactantius editions, this is probably the eighteenth printing of the works of Lactantius, following the first edition of 1465 (the first surviving book to be printed in Italy). This edition, however, contains more texts, including Lactantius's neo-Latin poem De ave phoenice about resurrection, John Chrysostom's De Coena Domini and Lorenzo Valla's sermon De mysterio Eucharistiae; the volume closes with Tertullian's Apologeticus adversus gentes which has separate foliation and its own colophon. The text was edited by Pierio Valeriano from Belluno (14771558), the nephew of the Greek scholar Urbano Bolzanio, through whom he became acquainted with Aldus Manutius. He studied in Padua and became increasingly interested in Egyptian hieroglyphics, and indeed the text of Lactantius includes much information about ancient Egypt. The annotations are concentrated on the sections of the Divine Institutes entitled 'De vera sapientia', 'De divino praemio' (elsewhere entitled 'De vita beata'), and chapter IX of 'De origine erroris'. Elsewhere there are a few marginal hash marks and single words, and some underlining of words and phrases. The annotator shows close engagement and understanding of the text, as well as giving his opinion; on D3vD4r he states that Lactantius has proved that materia prima was created by God, not the other way round. In the chapters on true wisdom (in which Lactantius states that philosophy is not wisdom) they cite many pagan authors, such as Pythagoras and Plato, Hermes Trismegistus and Cicero, whom Lactantius aimed to discredit (his aim was to demonstrate that before the recent history of polytheism, which began in Egypt, only one God was worshipped in the Mediterranean, which the annotator notes has been proved). The annotator also provides the sources of some of Lactantius's text, where not acknowledged by Lactantius himself; for example, on Q2v, he correctly identifies a reference to the first book of Ovid and some lines from Virgil's fourth Eclogue, and on Q3v mentions Aristippus. Along with Cyprian, Lactantius also believed that the end of the world was at hand; in 'De divino praemio' chapter XXV, the annotator has noted 'completo sexto millesimo anno, tunc erit finis mundi' (at the end of the sixth millennium, then it will be the end of the world), a common notion within the prolific genre of Apocalypse commentaries, frequently repeated with variants in the form. The annotator is writing a thousand years after that, thus revealing a predilection for the consciously metaphorical exegesis of millenialist statements. T.

Segnatura: a4, b6, c-z4, A-2I4, 2K6. Con tutte le sue carte bianche conservate, 2 all' inizio e due in fine. Solida legatura settecentesca in cartone marmoriz…zato con laccetti passanti, autore e titolo manoscritti sul dorso. Raffinato frontespizio inserito entro una ricca e complessa cornice rinascimentale impressa in xilografia, in un unico blocco, raffigurante Lucrezia e Giuditta di Hans Holbein il Giovane. Grande marca tipografica in xilografia alla c. 2Z6(v). Carattere corsivo, greco e romano. Numerose affascinanti glosse ed annotazioni manoscritte da mano cinquecentesca. Alcune deboli fioriture chiare al margine esterno di qualche pp., qualche normale segno del tempo, peraltro esemplare a pieni margine, con tutte le sue cc. bianche conservate, in stato di conservazione molto buono. Prima edizione di Cratander delle opere complete di Lattanzio, il "Cicerone cristiano" dallo stile fluente ed armonico del retore romano preferito dall' A. a modello latino per i suoi scritti apologetici verso la "religio nova". Le "Divinae Institutiones", in sette libri, sono un apologia del Cristianesimo, un rifiuto netto, tramite la confutazione dei loro errori, della filosofia pagana antica, della dottrina eroica e della mitologia, alle quali il nostro autore contrappone i capisaldi della dottrina cristiana cui è molto legato. L' opera sulla creazione di Dio, "De opificio Dei", è invece innervata dall' elogio della sapienza dispiegata da Dio nel creare l' uomo, la potenza divina si riflette propriamente nell' atto della creazione di quel microcosmo che è il corpo umano. Nel "De ira Dei" Lattanzio polemizza con gli Stoici e gli Epicurei, sostenitori dell' atarassia e dell' imperturbabilità degli dèi, affermando che Dio interviene nelle vicende umane, in bene o in male, specie per punire gli uomini che lo offendono. In particolare, Lattanzio si accanisce contro Epicuro e la sua convinzione del disinteresse divino per le umane vicende. Al front. appare per la prima volta, usata fino al 1523, la celebre incisione xilografica raffigurante "Lucrezia e Giuditta" opera di Hans Holbein il Giovane, questa è la probabile terza variante della cornice nell' arco di sei mesi. Da quest' opera la raffigurazione principale del bordo ora appare nei suoi pannelli laterali non più al centro. Dopo numerose edizioni in Italia (prima a Subbiaco nel 1465), poi a Rostock e Parigi, Cratander è il primo a Basilea a stampare le opere sopravvissute, tra cui la sua opera principale, l' Esposizione completa della fede cristiana in latino del Padre della Chiesa nordafricano Lattanzio. Nella sua prefazione, Cratander contrappone le opere del suo autore, che il Padre della Chiesa Girolamo definì giustamente un fiume di eloquenza tulliana, con la verbosità vuota, le sottigliezze sofisticate e le indagini spinose dei dottori scolastici del suo tempo.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1570 Lactantius 1ed Divine Institutes Apologetics Pagan FLAT EARTH Antwerp Lactantius was a 3rd-century early Christian author who is remembered primarily for his work 'Institutionum Divinae', an important treatise written to defend Christian truths against pagans. Not only was the c…ontent important to Christian apologists, the style in which it was written gives a proper example of 4th-century Christian thought. While this work appears to be just a Christian apology, it also includes elements of civil law, including Lactantius's condemning the round earth theory, a view that Copernicus would refute in his 16th-century works.

[Basel: Andreas Cratander. 13 February 1521.] [bound with:] SYMMACHUS, [Quintus Aurelius]; Laudivio [ZACCHIA DA VEZZANO]. Epistolae familiares. Item Laudini Eovitis hierosolymitani in epistolas Turci Magni traductio. [Strasbourg: Johann Knobloch [I]. 1511].Two works in one volume, 4to. Sixteenth-century blind-stamped pigskin ove…r wooden boards, sewn on 3 cords, borders roll-tooled with pomegranates, two-headed birds flanked by small six-pointed stars, and flowers in pots, two brass clasps and catchplates, spine lined with manuscript waste, seventeenth-century paper spine label; Lactantius: pp. [20], 433, [1 (errata)], final leaf k6 (printer's device, blank) excised; Symmachus: ff. [55], [1 (blank)]; title of Lactantius within elaborate architectural woodcut border by Hans Holbein the Younger, woodcut initials and headpieces; short split to upper joint, lower compartment of spine rubbed and discoloured , pinhole wormholes to upper board, slight wear to corners and extremities, lower corner of rear free endpaper excised; first two quires of first work slightly loose, sporadic light toning to both works, Lactantius with small wormtrack to Book I of Divinae institutiones (touching one or two words per page but not affecting sense) short closed tear to upper corner of i1, small marginal loss to upper corner of i2, sporadic light toning, short closed tear to o3 fore-edge not touching annotations or text; very good copies; early sixteenth-century motto to title of Symmachus, cancelled in mid-sixteenth-century red ink, mid-sixteenth-century initials 'FC' and motto 'sua ?cuique sors ferenda [est]' to both titles, contemporary annotations in red and occasionally dark brown ink to c. 100 pp. of Lactantius in the same hand, partially cancelled ownership 1580 inscription 'Ex Libris Michaelis Rhommeysen' and 1589 reading note 'perlegendo finii' to front pastedown (see below), seventeenth-century ownership inscription 'Collegii Societ[at]is Jesu Fuldae' to title of Lactantius. Handsome first Cratander edition of the works of Lactantius, bound with a very rare Strasbourg edition of fifteenth-century letters spuriously attributed to Sultan Mehmet II, with over one hundred pages of near-contemporary annotation and with the 1589 reading notes of a Catholic canon from Rasdorf; this volume was soon afterwards transferred to the newly established Jesuit college in nearby Fulda, the site of one of the largest witch trials in Germany at the start of the seventeenth century. Cratander (born Andreas Hartmann, c. 1485-c. 1540) published editions of Lactantius' works in 1524, and with Johann Bebel, in 1532. He collaborated on several occasions with Holbein and was particularly notable for his editions of the classics; the ornate woodcut border to the title, employed here for the first time, incorporates putti, Cratander's device, portrait medallions, Salome with the head of St John the Baptist, and Lucretia (Johnson, 'The Title-Borders of Hans Holbein', Basel 9). In his preface, Cratander brings to light his efforts to compare multiple manuscripts to minimise error, at some points in the text arranging 'for another reading to be added: thus, if you have once acquired this single booklet, you can claim that you have obtained many and different copies of Lactantius' (trans. Manuwald), e.g. providing variant readings in the form of printed marginalia on p. 51. Bound with the Lactantius are the letters of the Roman statesman and orator Quintus Aurelius Symmachus, and the Zacchia's purported translation of the letters of Sultan Mehmet II to Turks living in various parts of the Christian world, in fact a literary invention by Zacchia himself. This volume was owned by a mid-sixteenth-century reader (whose initials, F.C., appear on the titles of both works), with over one hundred pages of annotations demonstrating a careful reading of the text, providing lists of relevant philosophers mentioned by Lactantius as well as concise summaries of complex points, the an.

Condition: Very Good. Oxonii [Oxford]: E Theatro Sheldoniano, 1684. First Edition. Thick octavo (21cm.); contemporary speckled paneled calf, spine in five compartments with brown gilt-lettered spine label, all edges stained red; [18],912,[2],38pp. (collated, presumed complete); engraved vignette on title page of the Sheldonian T…heatre. Ex-library (institute unknown) with faint manuscript markings directly to spine and small rubber-stamp to front pastedown, leather a bit scuffed and dried along spine edges with brief cracking to upper joint, 18th-century ownership signatures of Ida Grey and Thomas de Grey to front free endpaper and title page, else a Very Good, mostly fresh and sound copy. One of just two scholarly works published in the lifetime of English theologian and scholar Thomas Spark (1655-1692). As a clergyman of the Church of England Spark was admitted to a prebend in the church of Rochester a few years before his untimely death: "He died on 7 Sept. 1692 at Bath, whither he had gone to drink the waters" (DNB). His contemporaries attributed his death to "his excesses and too much Agitation obtaining Spiritualities" (Wood, "Ath. Oxon."). The present work is a scholarly edition of the works of early Christian theologian Lactantius (ca. 240-320 CE). Thomas Hearne, contemporary of Spark's, deemed it "a poor Performance, the Text being very incorrect, and the Notes from MSS. very mean, he having taken no pains to collate them accurately." Overall a reassuring reminder that shoddy scholarship has been around for a long time and can endure for centuries after the scholar's demise.
