About this book

The seven books of the Diuinae institutiones , the most important work by Lactantius, the Christian author and contemporary of Constantine the Great, are an apologetic treatise that includes a defense of Christianity and a criticism of pagan religion, philosophy and morals. The third fascicle, consisting of books V and VI (Christian ethics, views on the state and religion), continues the critical edition of this work, of which fascicle 1, containing books I and II as well as a praefatio, was published in 2005, and fascicle 2 with books III and IV in 2007. Book VII and indices will comprise a fourth fascicle, planned for 2011.

Reviews

"This edition is the fruit of many years of dedication to L. by both editors, but especially by H. It is hard to imagine that the manuscripts will ever need to be recollated, or that DI will need to be edited again soon."
Gregory Hays in: Gnomon 3/90 (2018): 221-222

"Avec ce beau volume, l'edition des Institutions divines de Lactance dans la ›Bibliothèque Teubner‹ est quasiment achevée."
R. Gounelle in: Revue Histoire et de Philosophie Religieuses 3/2010
