Item description from seller

Prolegomenis, scholiis, et appendicibus illustrata a Faustino Arevalo ad eminentiss., et reverendiss. principem, et D. D. Franciscum Antonium de Lorenzana S. R. E. presb. cardinalem archiepiscopum Toletanum, Hispaniarum primatem. Romae : Apud Antonium Fulgonium. Praesidum facultate. 1794. Modern halfcloth binding. xvi,459,[1] pp. 4to. Title-page printed in red and black with vignette. Library stamp on first free endpaper. Very good, wide paper copy. - Sedulius (sometimes with the nomen Coelius or Caelius, both of doubtful authenticity) was a Christian poet of the first half of the 5th century. His fame rests mainly upon a long poem, Carmen paschale, based on the four gospels. In style a bombastic imitator of Virgil, he shows, nevertheless, a certain freedom in the handling of the Biblical story, and the poem soon became a quarry for the minor poets. His other writings include an Abecedarian hymn in honour of Christ, A solis ortus cardine, consisting of twenty-three quatrains of iambic dimeters. This poem has partly passed into the liturgy, the first seven quatrains forming the Christmas hymn "A solis ortus cardine"; and the Epiphany hymn, "Hostis Herodes impie." A "Veteris et novi Testamenti collatio" in elegiac couplets has also come down, but we have no grounds for ascribing to him the Virgilian cento, "De verbi incarnatione." This is the standard edition edited by Faustino Arévalo (Rome, 1794), and later reprinted in Jacques Paul Migne's Patrologia Latina vol. xix. Condition : very good copy. Keywords : .…
