SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MVNDI


shortbreadsh:

These are scans of a copy of Origen’s Commentary on Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Romans that Augustine owned. The notes in the margins refer to the Pelagian controversy.

The amazing Hannah found the book, which is all scanned online, and sifted through hundreds of pages with me.
