About This Item
1564 Saint Athanasius of Alexandria Egypt 1ed Holbein Durer Style Bible Woodcuts
Athanasius the Great of Alexandria was a 4th-century church father who was known as being one of the greatest Egyptian leaders in Christianity. He is often best remembered for his opposition to Arius and Eusebius of Nicomedia which ultimately relegated him to exile multiple times.
Athanasius's works mostly include letters, though the letters are greatly in defense of Christianity. He sought to defend the Holy Trinity, as well as decrees made at the Council of Nicaea. This Nicaean defense (367AD) is one of the first-known written examples of the listings of the New Testament books.
The writings of Athanasius serve two purposes – attack paganism and defend teachings of Christian redemption. This mindset is fulfilled throughout his works, including his Old Testament exegeses, where he defends the truth of the Holy Spirit.
This 1564 Basel edition was published by Nicolas and Eusebius Episcopios in an impressive leather-bound tome.
