Overview

This comprehensive collection, ""Opera Omnia,"" brings together the complete works of Lactantius, a prominent early Christian author and advisor to Roman Emperor Constantine I. Edited by Georg Laubmann and Samuel Brandt, this 1890 edition offers invaluable insights into the intellectual and religious landscape of the late Roman Empire. Included are Lactantius's theological treatises, apologetic writings, and the attributed work ""De Mortibus Persecutorum"" (On the Deaths of the Persecutors), offering a vivid, if biased, account of the fates of emperors who persecuted Christians. This edition provides scholars and enthusiasts alike with a critical resource for understanding the development of Christian thought, the dynamics of religious conflict, and the transition from paganism to Christianity in the Roman world. The inclusion of attributed poems further enriches this volume, making it an essential addition to any collection focused on classical literature, religious history, and the legacy of the early Church Fathers.
