This volume was compiled and translated from the works of Augusti, with numerous additions from Rheinwald, Siegel and others. In preparing this summary of the rites and institutions of ancient Christianity, the author sought to make it intelligible to the English reader; and, at the same time, to present to the theological student a convenient book of reference, and to the scholar and antiquary a guide to his more extended and original investigations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
