Marcus Minucius Felix, [born , Africa?died c. 250, Rome], one of the earliest Christian Apologists to write in Latin. A Roman lawyer, he wrote the Octavius, a dialogue on Providence and Christianity in general, between the skeptic pagan Caecilius Natalis and the Christian Octavius Januarius, Minucius' friend. Written for educated non-Christians, the arguments are borrowed chiefly from Cicero, especially his De natura deorum ("Concerning the Nature of the Gods"), and Christian material, mainly from the Greek Apologists.

Minucius Felix' Dialog zur Verteidigung der christlichen Religion, möglicherweise das älteste literarische Werk in christlichem Latein aus dem zweiten oder dritten Jahrhundert unserer Zeitrechnung. - Der Bearbeiter dieser Ausgabe, Jakob Gronovius (geb. 20.10.1645 in Deventer; gest. 15.10.1716 in Leiden) war ein klassischer Philologe, Archäologe, Historiker und Geograph. Seine Ausgabe, erstmalig 1709 in Leiden gedruckt, ist möglicherweise eine Antwort auf die stark kritisierte frühere Leidener Ausgabe von Jacobus Ouzelius (Oiselius), die 1652 erschienen war und dessen Anmerkungen hier keine Rolle spielen, wohl aber die früheren Kommentare von Nicolas Rigaltius, Desiderius (Didier) Heraldus, Geverhard Elmenhorst und Johann von Wowern. Wowerius hatte seine Ausgabe 1603 in Kopenhagen veröffentlicht (vgl. Sandys 2,287), Elmenhorst 1612 in Hamburg (vgl. Schoenemann I,71). Auf den letzten 30 Seiten ebenfalls enthalten: "Dissertatio Francisci Balduini JC. in M. Minucii Felicis Octavium" (wohl Franciscus Baudouins Kommentar zu dessen 1560 überhaupt erster eigenständigen Ausgabe des Textes, in der er herausfand, dass es sich beim "Octavius" um eine eigenständige Schrift Minucius' handelt und nicht, wie bis dahin angenommen, um den achten Teil von Arnobius d. Ä. "Adversus Nationes") sowie "Nicolaus Rigaltius Lectori de variis Editionibus Octavii Minuciani". - Die vier Kupfer im Text zeigen Münzen (2), Korybanten sowie Schlangen und Fackeln der Ceres, die Kupfertafel möglicherweise einen ägyptischen Magier mit Sistrum, Granatapfel, Gans, Schlange . Einband: Die goldgeprägte Frauenfigur auf dem Vorder- und Rückendeckel stellt mit ihren Attributen (Eule, Speer, Schild mit gekreuzten Schlüsseln und Löwenkopf sowie der Abkürzung "Lugd Bata" einen Bezug zur Stadt Leiden (Lugdunum Batavorum) her; vielleicht war das Buch ursprünglich im Bestand der dortigen Bibliothek, bevor es den Stempel der St. Ignatius-Kerk Nijmegen erhielt (auf dem Titelblatt neben der Vignette). - Zustand: Einband am Rücken oben etwas ausgebeult, Verschlussbändchen fehlen; sonst sehr guter Zustand, kaum bestoßen, Seiten hell und sauber.
