- Provenance
Athanasius Mabnus (295-373), bishop of Alexandria, was one of the greatest of the Church Fathers. He played an important role combating the nontrinitarian doctrine of Arianism at the first Council of Nicaea. He is also known for establishing the New Testament canon, identifying the twenty-seven works which should be included. Though other lists have been proposed, Athanasius' list is the one the church adopted and the one that is still used today. The editors of the present work were Christopher Porsena, St. Ambrosius of Camaldoni, Johannes Reuchlin, and Angelo Poliziano. There is a preliminary essay by Erasmus on ff. 2-5, titled "Paraclesis ad Lectorum Pium," and a life of Athanasius by Erasmus on the final twenty leaves. Adams A2080. BL German STC, p. 49.
