Riguardo questo articolo

Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating examination of a little-known early Christian text, a dialogue titled Octavius, likely composed by Minucius Felix. It pits a Christian and a pagan against one another in a lively philosophical debate, urging for a critical examination of the religious dogmas of the time. The author places this work within the context of early Christian literature, analyzing its literary techniques and shedding light on its significance as a unique blend of classical rhetoric and Christian apologetics. Through its exploration of themes like the existence of a singular God, the nature of truth, and the critique of paganism, the book grants profound insight into the intellectual and religious landscape of the Roman Empire during its transition to Christianity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from M. Minucii Felicis Octavius: With Introduction and Notes

In the interests of younger students I have emphasised the peculiarities of later Latin in point of language and syntax. Some attention also has been devoted in the notes to matters of textual criticism, as I have found by experience that when problems of this kind are referred to an appendix they are apt to be neglected by students, and this important branch of study suffers in consequence.
