Condition
Important edition of Torrentino. Controversial biography compiled by the writer Filostrato, who supported the request of Emperor Giulia Domna, starting from a collection of writings by the disciple Damis, an Assyrian scribe who would follow Apollonius on his journeys, including that in India. To him, the biographer Filostrato attributes many miracles similar to those that the Gospels attribute to Jesus Christ. Altri elementi biografici, tra cui il fatto di aver studiato a Tarso, hanno fatto ritenere alcuni studiosi antichi e recenti che Apollonio e Paolo di Tarso siano stati in realtà la stessa persona. Ci sono anche notevoli analogie tra Damis e l'apostolo Tommaso, soprattutto negli scritti apocrifi a quest'ultimo attribuiti. “Bella edizione..Gran numero di cose pertinente alla filosofia, alla medicina ed a varie altre occorrenze”. Gamba, 1394 The Lot is offered with a valid export licence.
