S. Irenaeus Lugdunensis, Contra haereses liber secundus

Irenaeus of Lyons (d. c. 202): the second book of Against Heresies (c. 180), which refutes the Valentinian system by reason (the one Creator God, the Pleroma, the Aeons, their numbers and parables). It is given in the ancient Latin version, with the Greek fragments where they are printed, and the editors' notes (Migne, PG 7). The text was first read by Gemini (a machine reader). The Reading Room checked a sample of its columns against the page.
