Buch. 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.Throughout the text, St. Cyprian explores the nature of spiritual authority and the vital connection between the believer and the institutional Church. He famously asserts that outside the fellowship of the Church, true faith cannot be sustained, emphasizing the necessity of peace and concord among the faithful. This work provides profound insights into the development of early Christian doctrine and the foundational concepts of ecclesiology. It remains an essential resource for scholars of patristics, church history, and theology, offering a timeless reflection on the importance of communal identity and the preservation of religious tradition in the face of external and internal pressures.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

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.…

No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. CYPRIANUS, Thascius Caecilius [St Cyprian of Carthage]; ERASMUS, Desiderius, editor. Opera Divi Caecilii Cypriani Episcopi Carthaginensis. Basel: Johann Froben, 1521. A remarkable pair of later composite display sheets preserving the principal original woodcut and letterpress illustrations from the 1521 Froben edition of St Cyprian edited by Erasmus of Rotterdam. Detailed comparison with the digitised copy at the Pitts Theology Library, Emory University, establishes that the apparently separate components mounted upon the second sheet belong to this same 1521 publication and are not miscellaneous ornaments taken from unrelated Froben books: Emory independently catalogues five principal graphic elements from its copy — the historiated title-page border, Johann Froben's printer's device, an animal-and-putti headpiece, an ornamental page border and a narrative woodcut of Venus and Cupid — and all are represented within the present pair; the book additionally contains smaller historiated initials, so these sheets preserve substantially the complete suite of its major independent woodcut compositions rather than literally every decorative element. The first sheet reconstructs the celebrated title page, centred upon Opera Divi Caecilii Cypriani Episcopi Carthaginensis and the imprint Apud inclytam Basileam ex officina Frobeniana. An. M.D.XXI., within the monumental historiated border designed by Ambrosius Holbein, elder brother of Hans Holbein the Younger. Across the upper register is the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, with ARMINIVS and VARVS QVINTILIVS identified amongst the densely packed combatants; Emory independently identifies the scene as the Germanic victory over the Roman forces of Publius Quinctilius Varus. The lateral borders incorporate personifications of the Virtues and Vices, including Temperance, Justice, Charity, Fortitude, Ignorance and Truth, while the lower composition contains the classical subject of the Calumny of Apelles. The companion sheet brings together the remaining major ornamental elements from the volume: long Renaissance grotesque and foliage borders corresponding directly with the original ornamental page frame preserved at Emory, an animal-and-putti headpiece, the narrative Venus and Cupid block, and Johann Froben's celebrated printer's device with crowned serpents entwined around a caduceus and a bird above. Eton's bibliographical record confirms the 1521 Basel edition, its November 1521 colophon, the Ambrosius Holbein title-page border, a further woodcut border on a2r, Froben's printer's device on the final verso and historiated initials; VD16 C6509; Adams C3150. At an unknown later date the original 1521 printed elements were carefully excised from their book leaves and laid down onto stiff paper stock, the title-page material being reconstructed approximately in its original configuration and the remaining principal ornaments arranged together on the companion sheet. They are therefore historical composite display sheets rather than intact original leaves, but direct comparison with the surviving institutional copy now establishes their unusual significance as a substantially comprehensive assemblage of the major woodcut programme of a single Erasmus/Froben publication. Each backing sheet approximately 28.7 × 22.4 cm. Very good decorative condition overall, the original impressions strong, dark and detailed; expected age-toning, occasional spotting and marking, minor surface and edge wear and visible joins between the mounted elements. An exceptional conjunction of Erasmus, Johann Froben, Ambrosius Holbein, Arminius, Roman history, classical mythology and Northern Renaissance graphic design.…
