Salviani Presbyteri Massiliensis Opera Omnia

by Salvian Salvian, Salvian, Franciscus Pauly

Salviani Presbyteri Massiliensis Opera Omnia is a comprehensive collection of the works of Salvianus, a 5th-century Christian writer and theologian from Massilia (modern-day Marseille, France). The book is edited by Franciscus Pauly and includes all of Salvianus' surviving writings, including his most famous work, De Gubernatione Dei (On the Governance of God), which explores the question of why the Roman Empire is falling apart despite its Christianization. Other works in the collection include Epistulae ad Ecclesiam (Letters to the Church), Ad Ecclesiam (To the Church), and Liber Adversus Avaritiam (Against Greed). The book provides readers with a valuable insight into the theological and social concerns of the early Christian Church and the challenges it faced during a time of great political and social upheaval.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
