The book refutes the common charges against Christians , argues the case for monotheism and providence, and attacks pagan mythology' (Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church). It is accompanied here by a tract 'On the vanity of idols' by StCyprian, bishop of Carthage (d.258). The editor, Nicolas Rigault (15771654), served as librarian to LouisXIII. Adrienne Du Puis (née Brillet, d.1658) was the wife and successor of the Parisian printer Mathurin Du Puis (d.1643), this volume being published in the first year in which she operated independently. Her publications ranged widely, encompassing genealogy, law, and medicine, in addition to theology, and included an edition of Claude Saumaise's defence of CharlesI (Defensio regia pro CaroloI) and John Milton's response (Defensio pro populo Anglicano).
