1678 1 ed Sibylline Oracles PAGAN Prophecy Occult Philosophy RARE Jesuit Crasset Jean Crasset was a 17 th -century French Jesuit who was best known for his treatises of asceticism and philosophy. One of his many books was ‘ Dissertation on the Oracles of Sibyl’ . At the end of the 17 th -century several treatises were written on the Sibylline Oracles many of which focused on the pagan origins of the oracles. Crasset, according to Buitenwerf, “firmly believed that the Sibylline Oracles were divine utterances of the Greek prophetess Sibyl.” Crasset sought to prove that the Sibylline Oracles were nothing more than false Christian narratives, He also defended the early church fathers who wrote that the Oracles were genuinely written by Sibyls, making references to great philosophers and historians such as Suetonius and Saint Augustine and his famous ‘City of God’ .

Neben der ausführlichen Artikelbeschreibung mit vielen Bildern (welche dem realen Zustand des Buches entsprachen) verlief die Kommunikation sehr informativ mit kurzen Reaktionszeiten. Der Versand aus den USA nach Deutschland dauerte nur 1 Woche. Das Buch war sehr gut und sicher verpackt. Alles bestens, vielen Dank, jederzeit wieder!

Amazing, quick postage, great value, well packaged. Great condition, as described in listing. Wife who is learning Latin is extremely happy. Never thought we would have something so old, a full hundred years older than my next oldest book. 5 star great seller
