Publisher's Synopsis
Justi Lipsi De Vesta Et Vestalibus Syntagma est liber qui tractat de sacris Vestae et Vestalium, quae erant maxime celebrata in antiqua Roma. Auctor, Justus Lipsius, doctus eruditusque Belgicus, diligenter explicat origines, ritus, ceremonias, et obligationes quae ad cultum Vestae et Vestalium pertinebant. In hoc opere, Lipsius non solum describit historiam sacrorum Vestae et Vestalium, sed etiam tractat de religione, moribus, et vita Vestalium, quae erant sacerdotes Vestae, deae ignis et familiae imperatoriae. Lipsius quoque agit de poena quae imponitur Vestalibus si virum accipiant aut sacra violaverint. Hoc opus est valde utile ad intellegendum cultum religiosum antiquae Romae et ad cognoscendum de vita sacerdotali Romanorum.This Book Is In Latin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
