Item description from seller

[16], 206, [18], front and back blanks. Indices. 12 mo. In full calf of the time with ruling in blind, floral decoration at each corner, spine has raised bands and red morocco title with gilt. Corners bit rubbed, hinges cracking but holding. Interior has the ownership inscription of J. Addison 1719, which seems to be that of Joseph Addison, the well-known English writer and publisher, who died 1719. The signature very closely matches other authenticated examples of his signature. There is also a pasted down review of the book. First free endpaper has extensive Latin notes which seem to be in a different hand, along with a modern ownership inscription. The verso of that leaf and the next leaf have extensive notes by the modern owner, neatly done. Title page has an old inscription as well, different from the others. Otherwise the text is clean and unmarked, some foxing and browning, especially in the rear indices, one page has a clean tear in the margin. Text in Latin with double column commentary/notes below. Nice patina to the leather and a generally good copy, with interesting provenance. Minucius Felix was one of the earliest Latin Christian apologists, about which almost nothing is know. "His name survives through his Octavius, a dialogue held on the beach at Ostia, between a pagan and a Christian and, of course, the latter succeeds in convincing his opponent. Cyprian borrowed from Octavius as did Tertullian. OCLC 31433697; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 206 pages.
