Woodstock Theological Library is grateful to Fr. John P. Langan, S.J., for his generous gift of a rare book containing the works of Gregory of Nyssa (ca. 329-390 CE), entitled D. Gregorii Nysseni Opvscvla qvinqve: De professione christiana. II. De perfectione, & qualem christianum esse deceat. III. Anagogica vitæ Moysis enarratio; qua, vitæ christianæ quidam is typus fuisse, ostenditur. IV. Contra Apolinarium. V. De fide.
D. Gregorii Nysseni Opvscvla qvinqve was printed by the famous Plantin Press in Leiden in 1593, which at this time was under the management of Franciscus Raphelengius (1539-1597).
It was edited by David Hoeschel (1556-1617), a librarian and scholar from Germany who published many editions of the works of Gregory of Nyssa, the other Cappadocian Fathers, as well as other Greek patristic authors.
