Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'On the Unity of the Catholic Church' is a seminal work of early Christian theology penned by St. Cyprian, the third-century Bishop of Carthage. Written during a period of intense persecution and internal division, this treatise stands as one of the most significant defenses of ecclesiastical cohesion in the history of the faith. St. Cyprian addresses the existential threat posed by schism, arguing that the Church is a single, indivisible body that must remain united under the authority of its bishops.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume presents several treatises of St. Cyprian (200/10 -258) in translation. To Donatus (Ad Donatum) is a monologue written shortly after Cyprian's baptism in 246 in which he extols his spiritual rebirth in the sacrament of baptism. Literary criticism has come to view this treatise as a model for St. Augustine's Confessions. The Dress of Virgins (De habitu virginum) written in 249 is addressed to women (''flowers in the Church's garden'') who have dedicated their lives to God's service. In this treatise on virginity Cyprian warns these women against seeking finery and the pitfalls of worldliness. The Fallen (De lapsis), written in 251, deals with the problems encountered in reconciling with the Church those who had defected during the time of persecution. These problems were acute especially after the Decian persecution. The Unity of the Catholic Church (De unitate ecclesiae), written very likely in 251, is directed in the first place against the Novatian schism. This treatise contains the famous words: ''He cannot have God for his father who does not have the Church for his mother.'' The Lord's Prayer (De oratione dominica) is as the title indicates a commentary on theOur Father. Many of its words and phrases remind one of Tertullian whom Cyprian admired greatly. To Demetrian (As Demetrianum) is a vigorous defense of Christianity against pagan calumnies. Mortality (De mortalitate) written perhaps in 252 or later has often been described as being a pastoral letter of a bishop to comfort and console his flock during a time of trial and tribulation. Work and Alms (De opere et eleemosynis) is a treatise that may have been written in 252 or even later. It is a warm and heartfelt exhortation of a bishop to his flock encouraging them to do good works. The Blessing of Patience (De bono patientiae), written sometime during the year 256, has frequently been described as a sermon delivered during the controversy over the validity of heretical baptism in northern Africa. Jealousy and Envy (De zelo et livore) like the preceding treatise greatly resembles a sermon delivered on the topic in the title. It was probably written between 251 and 257.To Fortunatus (Ad Fortunatum), a work replete with quotations from Scripture to encourage a Christian in time of persecution, was probably written between 253 and 257. In its original Latin this treatise is an important witness to the text of the Bible before St. Jerome's revisions. That Idols are not Gods (Quod idola dii non sint) is a relatively unimportant work when judged on the basis of its content. Modern patristic scholars seriously doubt its authenticity.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - St. Cyprian works fall naturally into two groups: treaties (sermons, libelli, tractus) and letters (epistulae). A translation of the treatises will be found in volume 36 of this series. The letters, of which eighty-one have come down to us, written from c.249 until his death in 258 A.D., may be found translated in this volume. They give a penetrating insight into the affairs of the Church in Africa in the middle of the third century. They reveal problems of doctrine and of discipline which had to be decided in a period of crisis and persecution when the Church, still in its infancy, had not yet emerged from the catacombs. Most important of all, they make Cyprian vividly alive as an understanding bishop who could be both gentle and firm, enthusiastic and moderate. He was prudent enough to go into exile to direct his flock from afar when his presence was a potential source of danger to the people; he was courageous enough to face martyrdom that he knew would ultimately he his. Of these letters, fifty-nine were written by Cyprian himself and six more, emanating from Carthaginian Councils or Synods, were largely his work also. Sixteen letters were written by others; apparently eleven were lost. St. Cyprian's prestige and influence was great in Christian antiquity. Unfortunately, he is not well known or as widely read in modern times as he deserves. This is probably due to Cyprian's lack of complete orthodoxy, in the modern sense of the word, regarding the recognition of the See of Peter and the rebaptism of heretics. The modern reader must bear in mind that the period of the Fathers was the time of the laying of the foundation of so much which we accept and see so clearly today. In any case, both Lactantius (Div. Inst. 5.1.24) and St. Augustine (De bapt. contra Donatistas), while acknowledging the weaknesses of St. Cyprian's stand on the questions mentioned, do not in the slightest detract from their respect and admiration for their fellow countryman. Prudentius pays St. Cyprian the following tribute in his Peristephanon 13.5.6 ff.): 'As long as Christ will allow the race of men / to exist and the world to flourish, / As long as any book will be, as long as there / Will be holy collections of literary works, / Everyone who loves Christ will read you, O / Cyprian, will learn your teachings.'.

Paperback. Zustand: VERY GOOD. xii, 103pp. + ads. 12mo in printed wraps. Overhanging 'yapp' of the covers shows some wear, owner's blindstamp to title page, text very clean and sharp. Cyprian was Bishop of Carthage from 248 AD till his martyrdom by Valerian in 258. His 'De Mortalitate' or 'On The Plague' was written in the midst of an Empire-wide pandemic of a viral hemorrhagic fever similar to Ebola. His treatis is the earliest example of Christian 'Consolatory' literature in Latin. In it, he commends to his parishoners a spirit of courage in light of eternal life awaiting them after death; and concommitantly an ethic of care and compassion for their suffering neighbors, including pagans outside of the church. His mobilization of the faithful to mutual aid is credited for a great subsequent conversion of the impoverished masses to the church. It is also seen as an early example of the medical ethic that characterized the early Christians and inspired the rise of hospitals. Hannan's translation and commentary was never reprinted and is quite scarce in trade.

Traces of rubricated C15 mss formerly used as pastedowns, early inscriptions 'Parochia S Her[onymus?]' and 'B Schiani Scheere i:T:N 17', and modern stamps of religious institution to fly and first t-p, C16 annotations in two hands, in both. Two very good, clean copies of these important theological works (with the first edition of the second), edited by Erasmus (1466-1536), the greatest humanist and philologist of the northern Renaissance. He was the first humanist to truly engage with the works of the Fathers of the Church and early theologians praisingonly a few years before the Reformationtheir exhortations for a unified church. In 1514, he arrived in Basel to meet Johann Froben, renowned abroad for his attention to editorial detail, who had accepted to publish his monumental commentary to St Jerome. Erasmus settled in Basel for several years, where he produced his major editions and worked as a 'learned corrector' at the press. 'The close personal relationship between these two men is perhaps unparalleled in the history of authors and their publishers' (Bloch, 'Erasmus', 109-10). Erasmus rated the writings of Cyprian (200-258AD), bishop of Carthage, as being nearly as important as Jerome's; he published the first edition of his complete works, based on both printed and ms. texts, in 1520. Cyprian's epistles and books were concerned with pastoral activity, on subjects like the ordination of priests and the worshipping of idols. Erasmus categorised five works (explaining why in the preface) as 'falsely ascribed' to Cyprian, at a time in which 'the difficulty of separating genuine from spurious patristic works was acute' (Peters, 'Erasmus', 256); however, 'De exhortatione martyrii', found among his genuine works, was later attributed to Erasmus himself. The Greek bishop Irenaeus (130-202AD) was active in southern France, where he assisted the expansion of Christian communities. As a boy he had heard the preaching of Polycarp, disciple of John the Evangelist, and was known to other disciples who had seen the Saviour; hence, in Erasmus's words, 'Through Irenaeus [] we hear the words of Christ'. His 'opus' included works on heresy, the doctrine of Simon Magus and those of sects like the Gnostics. One early annotator of this copy was interested in topics including heresy, penance and communion, celibacy and the purity of priesthood. Some of his glosses are enthusiastic or colourful: e.g., near a passage on Christian fortitude against temptation he writes 'the devil's vases are full of threats' with the word 'minarum' meaning both menaces and pieces of silver; he admired Cyprian as twice he wrote 'pulchra comparatio' (beautiful comparison) on the margins. 1: BM STC Ger., p. 234; Graesse II, 316.2: BM STC Ger., p. 431; Graesse III, 429.
