1709 M.Minucii Felicis Octavius Book in Latin- Full Vellum
1709 Full Vellum Bound Book in Latin… Titled M. Minucii Felicis Octavius. It is a book on Marcus Minucius Felix, one of the earliest of the Latin Apologists for Christianity (around c. 250 AD in Rome). He is now known by this book… Octavius, a dialogue on Christianity between the Pagan ecilius Natalis and the Christian Octavius Januarius. Written for educated non-Christians, the arguments are borrowed chiefly from Cicero, especially his De natura deorum (“Concerning the Nature of the Gods”), and Christian material, mainly from the Greek Apologists.
**I have more research that will come with the book.
This seems like an interesting read and it has such an amazing vellum cover… a great addition for any antiquarian book collector! I mean this book is over 300 years old! And holding up well!
I love the thicker textured paper inside as well… and it does contain one full page engraving.
