St. Gregory of Nazianzus (ca. 325-389) ranks as 
one of the greatest theologians of the early 
Church. Though the Bodleian Library catalogue 
contains more than 30 pages of the various 
editions of his works (the first published in 
1609-11), this, the Benedictine edition (along 
with that of Migne's), is the best and most 
complete. The first volume was printed in 1778 
but publication was interrupted by the French 
Revolution; a second edition of the first volume 
was published in 1837 and then the first edition 
of the second volume in 1840. Vol. 2 has imprint: 
Curis et sumptibus Parent-Desbarres.

Boards detached on volume I, very tender on 
volume II which is lacking lower half of spine, 
library pockets to rear board and bookplates to 
front as well as accession numbers. Overall clean 
leaves.   [26636]    $300.00
