Saint Eucherius bishop of Lyon ca. 380 - ca. 449 was a high-born and high-ranking ecclesiastic in the Christian Church of Gaul. He is remembered for his letters advocating extreme self-abnegation. Henry Wace ranked him "except perhaps St. Irenaeus the most distinguished occupant of that see"."St. Eucherius Bishop of Lyons theologian born in the latter half of the fourth century; died about 449. On the death of his wife he withdrew to the monastery of Lérins where his sons Veranius and Salonius lived and soon afterward to the neighbouring island of Lerona now Sainte-Marguerite where he devoted his time to study and mortification. Desirous of joining the anchorites in the deserts of the East he consulted John Cassian who in reply sent him some of his "Collationes" describing the daily lives of the hermits of the Thebaid. It was at this time that Eucherius wrote his beautiful letter "De laude Eremi" to St. Hilary of Arles c. 428. Though imitating the virtues of the Egyptian solitaries he kept in touch with men renowned for learning and piety e.g. Cassian St. Hilary of Arles St. Honoratus later Bishop of Marseilles and Valerian to whom he wrote his "Epistola parænetica de contemptu mundi". The fame of Eucherius was soon so widespread in southeastern Gaul that he was chosen Bishop of Lyons. This was probably in 434; it is certain at least that he attended the First Council of Orange 441 as Metropolitan of Lyons and that he retained this dignity until his death. In addition to the above-mentioned letters Eucherius wrote "Formularium spiritualis intelligentiæ ad Veranium" and "Institutiones ad Salonium" besides many homilies. His works have been published both separately and among the writings of the Fathers." Catholic Encyclopedia. His "Epistola paraenetica ad Valerianum cognatum de contemptu mundi "Epistle of exhortation to his kinsman Valerian On the contempt of the world" is an expression of the despair for the present and future of the world in its last throes shared by many educated men of Late Antiquity with hope for a world to come. Erasmus thought so highly of its Latin style that he edited and published it at Basel in 1520. His commentaries on the work are also included here. His "Liber formularum spiritalis intelligentiae" which is addressed to his son Veranius is a defence of the lawfulness of reading an allegorical sense in Scripture bringing to bear the metaphors in Psalms and such phrases as "the hand of God" The term anagoge in Greek is employed for the application of Scripture to the heavenly Jerusalem to come and there are other examples of what would become classic Medieval hermeneutics.Rodulfus Tortarius also known as Raoul of Tourtier Raoul de La Tourte Radulphus Flaviacensis c.1063 - c.1122 was a French Benedictine monk of the Abbey of Fleury-sur-Loire and a poet writing in Latin. He is known both for his style of writing his biblical commentaries and religious works and his literary and comic tales. His commentary on "Leviticus" is considered important and influential. The first edition of the work is rare. </em> hardcover

152642820865<p>FIRST EDITION of the works of Irenaeus "<strong>the father of Christian theology</strong>" as he is widely known.</p><p>Irenaeus is one of the most important of the early Church Fathers. Writing at the end of the second century with the authority of direct links to the followers of the original Apostles he defended the Church against existential threats and helped to establish its fundamental underpinnings.</p><p>Irenaeus's principal work is <em>Adversus Haereses</em> Against Heresies "<strong>one of the most precious remains of early Christian antiquity</strong>." The work comprises a refutation of the Gnostic heresies then a serious threat to the Church and exposition and defense of the Catholic faith" Roberts ed. Saint Irenaeus of Lyons <em>Against Heresies</em>. This is "the chief work of Irenaeus and truly of the highest importance; it … constitutes an invaluable source of information on the most ancient ecclesiastical literature from its beginnings to the end of the second century. In refuting the heterodox systems Irenaeus often opposes to them the true doctrine of the Church and in this way furnishes positive and very early evidence of high importance. Suffice it to mention the passages so often and so fully commented upon by theologians and polemical writers concerning the origin of the Gospel according to St. John the Holy Eucharist and the primacy of the Roman Church" <em>Catholic Encyclopedia</em>.</p><p><strong>Irenaeus is "one of the few really original and creative thinkers in the history of the church … He united the ethical and religious the legal and the mystical and so founded historic Catholicism … To no other Father does Catholic theology owe so much"</strong> McGiffert.</p><p>"Irenaeus asserted in a positive manner the validity of the Jewish Bible the Old Testament which the Gnostics denied claiming that it upheld the laws of the Creator God of wrath. Though Irenaeus did not actually refer to two testaments one old and one new he prepared the way for this terminology. He asserted the validity of the two testaments at a time when concern for the unity and the difference between the two parts of the Bible was developing. Many works claiming scriptural authority which included a large number by Gnostics flourished in the 2nd century; by his attacks on the Gnostics Irenaeus helped to diminish the importance of such works and to establish a canon of Scriptures" <em>Encyclopedia Britannica</em> 11th ed. Irenaeus the earliest witness to the four gospels as canon played a central role in establishing the canonical Christian Bible.</p><p>Edited by Erasmus this first edition of Irenaeus was central to Erasmus's effort to publish the works of the Church Fathers at the Froben Press at Basel. Erasmus was convinced that the Roman Catholic Church would only be fully reformed and renewed by turning again to the Bible as interpreted by the Fathers of the Church. More than any other single figure Erasmus brought to light the ancient writings of the Church Fathers. In the case of Irenaeus Erasmus crowed in his preface "Why should I not call him 'mine' since I found him almost buried and have done my best to clear away the dust of ages and restore him to the light"</p><p>The first edition of Irenaeus is very scarce in collector's condition. No example has appeared for public sale in the past thirty years.</p><p>Bound with the following work which is first in the volume:</p><p>CLEMENT I Pope. <em>Divi Clementis Recognitionvm Libri X. Ad Iacobvm Fratrem Domini Rvfino Torano Aqvileiense Interprete…</em> Basel: Froben 1526.</p><p>First edition. This work once attributed to Pope Clement I concerns on St. Peter and his disciple Clement. The ornamental borders are designed by Hans Holbein.</p><p>Folio. Contemporary blind-tooled pigskin over wooden boards stained and with some wear and scratches clasps manuscript title on spine. Early inscriptions including marginalia and underlining h4 repaired small wormhole to last leaf. A very good copy.</p> Froben hardcover
