Flesher George Eld and Miles Flesher.<br /> Originally written in the early 5th century The City of God De Civitate Dei is Augustine's profound theological response to the sack of Rome by the Visigoths in 410 AD. It explores the conflict between the Earthly City and the City of God.<br /> This specific volume is notable for being the second edition of the first English translation by John Healey whose first edition appeared in 1610. The inclusion of commentary by Juan Luis Vives—originally commissioned by Erasmus—adds significant scholarly value as Vives's notes were highly influential in Renaissance humanist circles.<br /> Large folio binding measures 13.25" tall x 9" wide.

Pages and text are still crisp including elaborate woodcut initials and decorative headpieces.<br /> A Foundational Pillar of Western Thought: The City of God De Civitate Dei is widely considered Augustine's magnum opus and one of the most influential works in the history of Western philosophy and Christian theology. <br /> <br /> <br /> The Ultimate Apologetic Masterpiece: Written in response to the Visigoth sack of Rome in 410 AD Augustine defends Christianity against pagan claims that abandoning the old Roman gods caused the empire's collapse. It offers a fascinating window into the late antique world and the clash between paganism and early Christianity. Augustine doesn't just write about theology; he extensively critiques Roman history classical mythology and Greek philosophy particularly Platonism. The book serves as a veritable encyclopedia of ancient thought. <br /> <br /> <br /> Vives’s commentary was originally commissioned by Desiderius Erasmus the "Prince of the Humanists." Vives’s notes don't just explain Augustine; they provide a brilliant 16th-century humanist perspective on the ancient text making this volume a dialogue between Late Antiquity and the Renaissance.<br /> <br /> .

1610149448London: George Eld 1610. Rare first edition in English of Augustine's monumental work. Translated by John Healey. Folio bound in full brown calf gilt titles to the spine morocco spine label raised bands. Large woodcut printer's device on title McKerrow 375. Decorative woodcut head-pieces and decorative and woodcut initials including three twelve-line initials. In very good condition ownership signature on title page dated 1790. First editions are rare. One of the great cornerstones in the history of Christian thought The City of God is vital to an understanding of modern Western society and how it came into being. Begun in A.D. 413 the book's initial purpose was to refute the charge that Christianity was to blame for the fall of Rome which had occurred just three years earlier. Indeed Augustine produced a wealth of evidence to prove that paganism bore within itself the seeds of its own destruction. However over the next thirteen years that it took to complete the work the brilliant ecclesiastic proceeded to his larger theme: a cosmic interpretation of history in terms of the struggle between good and evil. By means of his contrast of the earthly and heavenly cities--the one pagan self-centered and contemptuous of God and the other devout God-centered and in search of grace--Augustine explored and interpreted human history in relation to eternity.
