1670 Confessions of Saint Augustine Catholic Bible Benedictine Sommalius Rouen

1670 Confessions of Saint Augustine Catholic Bible Benedictine Sommalius Rouen

 

Augustine of Hippo was a 5^th-century early Christian church philosopher and theologian. While most known for his work ‘City of God’, he also wrote many other treatises on aspects of the Christian faith. His stance on free will vs. predestination and fatalism was supported by and still is supported by, the Catholic Church, as his teachings on free will are consistent with modern doctrine.

 

One of Augustine’s most important works was ‘Confessions’ – a collection of shorter treatises that were autobiographical in nature. In fact, because of this, it is often considered the very first Western autobiography ever written.

 

This 1670 Latin edition was published in Rouen and edited by Henricus Sommalius. A charming, vellum-bound edition of Augustine.
