New edition, handsomely decorated with headpieces, tailpieces and decorated initials. Assuming that the mythographer Fulgentius and the bishop are indeed the same person, this edition contains only the theological works of Saint Fulgent. A very useful alphabetical index appears at the end of the work. Contemporary full calf binding. Richly decorated raised spine with star motifs. Red morocco title label. Damage with loss to head of spine. Corners bumped. A dampstain at beginning of work in right margin, at upper corner, not affecting text. Fulgentius (468-533), is famous among the Church Fathers for his pious and exemplary life; he was first a monk, then abbot and subsequently bishop of Ruspe in Tunisia, then under the rule of an Arian king. Besides his epistles and his reflection on true faith, Fulgent's work is recognized for his combat against Arianism, and the sectarianism of his time such as Pelagianism and Nestorianism.
