Hardback. Condition: Very Good Plus. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Plus. Second Edition. 1968. Second edition, with additional material and corrections by Henry Chadwick. lxxxii (with a 16-page preface to the second edition and a bibliography bound in between pages viii and ix), 90pp. George Eglinton Alston Dix (1901-1952), known as Gregory Dix, was a British monk and priest of Nashdom Abbey, an Anglican Benedictine community. He was a noted liturgical scholar whose work had particular influence on the reform of Anglican liturgy in the mid-20th century. Of his edition of 'The Treatise on the Apostolic Tradition of St Hippolytus of Rome', only the first volume, containing an historical introduction, textual materials, and translation, with 'Apparatus Criticus' and some critical notes, was ever published. This reissue contains corrections and a new Introduction by Henry Chadwick (1920-2008), a British academic, theologian and Church of England priest. The book is bound in the original black boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with bumping to the spine ends and light bumping to the bottom corners. The contents are tight and clean with the faint outline of two tape stains on the free endpapers and a small tape stain on the fixed endpapers (this is probably where a home-made protective cover for the dustwrapper had been attached). There is no inscription. The unclipped dustwrapper is very good with fading to the spine and light bumping to the spine ends.
