Leonis Allatii - Leonis Allatii De aetate, et interstititiis - 1638

Rarest edition of this scholarly treatise devoted to questions relating to age, time intervals, and above all the rules that determine the various stages of access to ecclesiastical offices -

Léon Allatius, a Greek savant established in the Roman intellectual and ecclesiastical world, is part of the tradition of seventeenth-century scholars who seek to illuminate Christian institutions by careful study of ancient texts, liturgical usages, canon law, and historical testimonies -

The title De aetate, et interstitiis mainly refers to the examination of age conditions and interstices, that is to say the delays or periods that must separate certain stages of formation and ordination of the clergy -

The work thus studies a question at the boundary between theology, ecclesiastical history, and canon law, seeking to determine the rules that frame the gradual passage from one degree of the ecclesiastical state to another -
