What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding, Scarce
Scarce. Last copy seen in 1978. Voss was educated at Leyden, where he developed a friendship with the famous Hugo Grotius. He was made Regent of the States-General for Leyden in 1615, but had to resign in 1619 thanks to controversy brought on by a theological work published the preceding year. Voss went on to become professor of history at Leyden and eventually at the Athaneum in Amsterdam; having twice turned down offers of positions at Cambridge. In the Theologia Gentili, Voss draws upon the earlier word De Diis Syris in an exploration of pre-Christian religious practice. The three books contained within this volume cover the origin, development, worship, and idols of the Pagan world.
