L. Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius, Liber de Opificio Dei, vel de formatione hominis, ad Demetrianum

Lactantius (c. 250-c. 325): On the Workmanship of God (De opificio Dei), on the making of the human body and soul, addressed to Demetrianus, c. 303-304, in Latin, with the editors' notes (Migne, PL 7). The text was first read and checked by volunteers through the Reading Room's volunteer page. Columns 5-6 are not in our scan, and our scan lacks the leaf with columns 7-10. Columns 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are marked as gaps, but the text runs straight on from column 4 to column 11, so nothing appears to be lost.
