Marcus Minucius Felix was a 3rd-century Roman scholar who is remembered only for being an advocate of Christianity in a pagan Roman world. His only known work was "Octavius" – a narrative dialogue between a Christian and a pagan. Much of this work was influenced by Cicero's "Nature of the Gods" and was written to convince non-Christians to convert from their pagan ways.

This 1709 Latin edition was edited by Jacobus Gronovius.
