Commodiani Carmina, Volumes 1-2 presents the collected poems of Commodianus, a Latin Christian poet who likely lived in the 3rd century CE. This edition, originally published in 1877, offers a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of early Christian literature. Commodianus's work provides insights into the religious beliefs, social concerns, and literary styles of the period. His poems, written in a distinctive and sometimes unconventional Latin, reflect a fervent commitment to Christian teachings and a critical perspective on pagan society.
This edition includes both volumes of Commodianus's works, meticulously compiled and edited by Ernst Ludwig, making it an essential addition to any collection focused on classical literature, religious history, or early Christian thought. These poems offer a unique window into the world of early Christianity and the evolution of Latin literature.
