Origenes: Contra Celsum Libri VIII
ISBN: 9789004119765 / Starogrecki / Twarda / 664 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The giant treatise Contra Celsum is Origen's main and longest work. It is of significance for both Greek Patristics and Ancient Philosophy. However, the extant text of the treatise is lacunose and corrupt. Two outstanding editions - by Paul Koetschau (1899) and Marcel Borret (1967-1969) - are not critical enough. The editor tried to restore Origen's original text and presents the reader with a reasonably reliable text.

ISBN: 9789004119987 / Angielski / Twarda / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume deals with the Federal theology of Johannes Cocceius, who lived in the seventeenth century (1603-1669).
