‎Manuscripts of Leo the Great?s Letters. The Transmission and Reception of Papal Documents in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages‎

‎Summary This book explores the transmission of the letters of Leo the Great (pope, 440-461). After setting out the contours of Leo's papacy and the factors contributing to the sending and subsequent transmission of his letters to posterity, it deals in detail with around sixty collections of Leo's letters and over 300 manuscripts ranging in date from the sixth up to the sixteenth century. Each period of the Middle Ages is introduced as the context for collecting and copying the letters, and the relationships between the letter collections themselves are traced. The result is a survey of the impact of Leo the Great upon Latin Christendom, an impact that was felt in theology and canon law, especially from the age of the Emperor Justinian to the Council of Ferrara-Florence, and moving through the major monasteries of Europe from Corbie to Clairvaux. At every cultural Renaissance, Leo was a presence, being copied, rearranged, interpreted, and eventually printed. This book is a testament to the legacy of one of the mid-fifth century's most influential figures.

‎An Apology for the Bible, in a Series of Letters, Addressed to Thomas Paine, Author of a Book entitled, The age of Reason, Part the Second, being an Investigation of True and of Fabulous Theology.‎

‎London Printed for T. Evans 1796 Troisième édition. Carton rigide recouvert de toile brune, titre doré au dos. Manque le demi-titre et les publicités finales, n'ayant apparemment jamais été reliées. La page 84 a été grossièrement réparée, mais est tout à fait lisible. Un bon exemplaire de lecture. 385 pages. 185 x 120 mm. Richard Watson devint membre du Trinity College de Cambridge en 1760 et obtint sa maîtrise en 1762. Il est nommé professeur de chimie à Cambridge en 1764, bien qu'il n'ait reçu qu'une formation formelle limitée dans ce domaine, et se tourne ensuite vers la théologie, devenant Regius Professor of Divinity à Cambridge en 1771, un poste qu'il obtient avec l'appui de la royauté, bien qu'il n'ait pas de diplôme de théologie (à l'époque). Watson est connu pour son approche rationnelle et biblique, ne reconnaissant aucune autre autorité que le Nouveau Testament et montrant peu d'intérêt pour la théologie systématique ou historique. Il s'associe au groupe influent des disciples d'Edmund Law, qui comprend John Hey et William Paley. Thomas Paine (1737-1809), figure centrale du siècle des Lumières et de la révolution américaine, est réputé pour sa critique radicale de la Bible et du christianisme organisé, dont l'expression la plus célèbre se trouve dans son ouvrage L'âge de raison, qui marque le début de cette série de lettres.‎

‎Third edition. Brown cloth covered hardback boards with gilt title to spine. Lacks half title, and final adverts, seemingly never having been bound in. Page 84 has been crudely repaired, but is totally legible. A good reading copy. 385 pages. 185 x 120 mm (7Œ x 4Ÿ inches). Richard Watson became a fellow of Trinity College Cambridge in 1760, and received his MA in 1762. He was appointed Professor of Chemistry at Cambridge in 1764, despite having limited formal training in the subject, and transitioned to theology, becoming Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge in 1771, a post he obtained with royal support - again despite lacking a divinity degree (at that time). Watson was known for his rational, biblical approach, recognising no authority but the New Testament and showing little interest in systematic or historical theology. He associated with the influential group of Edmund Law's followers, which included John Hey and William Paley. Thomas Paine (17371809), was a pivotal figure of the Enlightenment and the American Revolution, and is renowned for his radical critique of the Bible and organised Christianity, most famously articulated in his work The Age of Reason, which began this series of letters.‎
