About This Item

Ex Typographia Bosii, ( Antonio Bosio ) Venetiis [ Venice ], 1696. 1st edition.. Hardback. Full contemporary vellum, VG. [tp]+[xxii]+496+[16]pp, decorated initials & woodcut tailpieces, vellum yellowed & darkened especially to the spine, old paper library label to the base of the spine as well as much faded inked title to the second spine compartment, occasional grubby mark & ink smudge to the text, small ink Priory Library stamp to the base of the title, but over all an attractive copy. The theological works of the African Catholic Saint Fulgentius [ 468 - 533 ]. Bishop of Ruspe in Tunisia & 'eminent among the Fathers of the Church for saintly life, eloquence and theological learning' ( Catholic Encyclopaedia ). Fulgentius was made Bishop against his wishes, his first passion being monastic seclusion, piety & poverty. The book contains his 'Contra Arianos' & 'Ad Trasimundum', , written in response to a challenge to Catholic authority by the Heretical Arian King Thrasamund, as well as the 'De Fide', a description of the true Faith, the 'Ad Monimum' which is a defence of St Augustine & the belief that Augustianian thought made God predestinate evil. Such was Fulgentius' elequence on the topic of predestination that his writings were central to the debate over the centuries to come. The book also contains Fulgentius' letters & sermons.

Terms of Sale

Eastleach Books

All our books offered are in at least good condition, with the majority very good and better. Descriptions are brief, but PLEASE ask for more detail if required. We can scan books & jackets, signatures etc. MINOR inscriptions ignored in NON FICTION titles, unless really detrimental to the book - but then a 150 year old ink name adds character surely? Modern hardbacks are described as being Cloth bound, even though predominantly they come in paper covered boards pressed to look like cloth. Book grades are given book then dustjacket (if any) Running from F - Fine, VG - Very Good, G - Good, P - Poor. A fine book will look almost like the day it was bought, a VG one will have some evidence of prior ownership, G means a nice clean copy, obviously secondhand & P implies a COMPLETE copy that has suffered a hard life & will need some TLC. We take into account the books age when grading, so a 250 year old book graded as VG will look more second hand that a 5 year old book graded the same. On the Net since 1998. All prices are in GBP. Payment can be made by Visa, Mastercard, Switch & Solo or JCB. After your order is placed, FAX your card details etc to +44 (0)1635 48444. Any Book may be returned - but please let us know prior to sending a book back. We wrap each book individually and don't just stick em in a jiffy bag with a prayer. Paperbacks are packed with card stiffeners. WE BUY BOOKS! Happy reading!
