Description

[1585 PLANTIN]
Lucius Caelius Firmianus LACTANTIUS
Divinarum institutionum libri VII [...] omnia studio Michaelis Thomasii emendata, cum notis eiusdem.
Antverpiae, ex officina Christophori Plantini, 1585.
8vo (4 1/2 by 6 3/4")
Limp vellum. Manuscript title on the spine.
[16], 560, [88] pp.
Plantin typographic emblem in the title.
Provenance: ex-libris de la bibliothèque de Em. Marcel.
Good condition. Some wear. Some foxing.
-
Lucius Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius (c. 250 – c. 325) was an early Christian author who became an advisor to the first Christian Roman emperor, Constantine I, guiding his religious policy as it developed, and a tutor to his son Crispus. His most important work is the Institutiones Divinae ("The Divine Institutes"), an apologetic treatise intended to establish the reasonableness and truth of Christianity to pagan critics.
He is best known for his apologetic works, widely read during the Renaissance by humanists who called Lactantius the "Christian Cicero". Also widely attributed to Lactantius is the poem The Phoenix, which is based on the myth of the phoenix from Oriental mythology. Though the poem is not clearly Christian in its motifs, modern scholars have found some literary evidence in the text to suggest the author had a Christian interpretation of the eastern myth as a symbol of resurrection.
