Jacobi Usserii Archiepiscopi Armachani Opuscula Duo, Nuncs primum Latine Edita...
USSHER, James. Jacobi Usserii Archiepiscopi Armachani Opuscula Duo, Nuncs primum Latine Edita…
London: Samuel Smith, 1687.
8vo. (179 x 110 mm.). Very slightly browned throughout but a very good and fresh copy overall in 18th century vellum over paper boards, spine titled in ink in a neat contemporary hand. Corners very slightly bumped, boards a little bowed. A very good and attractive copy. 18th century printed ex libris of the convent of the Order of the Discalced of the Most Holy Trinity for the Redemption of Captives in Vienna (presumably a branch of the Trinitarians).
First edition of Archbishop Ussher's expositions on the origins of the Church and Metropolitanates; and his work on the origins of the Church in Asia Minor (modern Turkey). This includes an overview of Classical sources on the geography of Asia Minor, as well as a discussion of the historical development of the Church there and its Metropolitanates.
James Ussher (1581-1656) was Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland. Ussher wrote extensively on Church history and patristics, identifying the letters of the Church Father Ignatius of Antioch. He was also the author of Britannicarum Ecclesiarum antiquitates - the most complete history of the Church in Britain at that time.
The present volume also includes a text by Isaac Basier on the freedoms of the ancient British Church as against the dominance of Rome and another work on the British Church by John Barnes.
Scarce.
