The Octavius is a book written by Felix, Minucius, a Christian writer from the 3rd century AD. The book is a dialogue between two friends, Caecilius and Octavius, who discuss the merits of Christianity versus paganism. Caecilius argues in favor of paganism, while Octavius defends Christianity.Throughout the book, Octavius presents a strong case for the superiority of Christianity, citing its moral teachings, the miracles performed by Jesus and his followers, and the fact that it has spread rapidly throughout the world. He also addresses common objections to Christianity, such as the idea that Christians are atheists because they do not worship the traditional Roman gods.The Octavius is significant because it is one of the earliest Christian apologetic works, meaning it is a defense of the Christian faith against criticism and opposition. It also provides valuable insights into the religious and philosophical debates of the time, as well as the early Christian church and its beliefs.Overall, The Octavius is a thought-provoking and insightful work that continues to be studied and appreciated by scholars and Christians alike.""And now, as wickeder things advance more fruitfully, and abandoned manners creep on day by day, those abominable shrines of an impious assembly are maturing themselves throughout the whole world. Assuredly this confederacy ought to be rooted out and execrated. They know one another by secret marks and insignia, and they love one another almost before they know one another.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

"And now, as wickeder things advance more fruitfully, and abandoned manners creep on day by day, those abominable shrines of an impious assembly are maturing themselves throughout the whole world.

The text from which the present translation has been made is that of Waltzing (1912) in the Teubner series. In a few instances, an emendation has been adopted, where his reading seemed to admit of no satisfactory rendering. For the rearrangement of part of the matter in xxii.-xxiv. see his Studia A limuiana. The amount of literature which has grown up round this extremely interesting little work, especially during the last fifty years, may almost without exaggeration be called enormous, considering the shortness of the original about 13,000 words. Within the present limits it was impossible to give an exhaustive list of such treatises and articles, but one will be found in Waltzing s Bibliography see I ntrod. i), which contains the names of no fewer than 150 scholars who have written on the subject. In preparing the translation, the variorum edition in Migne s Fatrologice Cursus, and those of Holden and Leonard have been consulted throughout. Waltzing s Commentary and special Lexicon have unfortunately not been available. 1S ee also Introduction to the Teubner
