Veritas Press Catalog 2008/2009 - (Page 66) E Thirteen Books of Euclid’s Elements Euclid, Thomas Heath, editor I G H T H G R A D E Beowulf Seamus Heaney, translator The definitive edition of one of the very greatest classics of all time, encompassing almost 2500 years of mathematical and historical study. A superb complement to the textbook study of geometry for the serious student. Volume I Books I & II #190-178 Volume II Books III–IX #190-179 Volume III Books X–XIII (shown) #190-180 $14.95 $16.95 $14.95 This verse translation is a bilingual edition—Anglo-Saxon on the left and English on the right. Nathan Wilson thinks this translation is awesome and thinks everyone should read it. We agree. He calls it one of the most beautiful tellings of the Christian story couched in slaughter. Soft 220p #305-135 $13.95 Ecclesiastical History of the English People Bede, D.H. Farmer, editor This book records the earliest inhabitants of England, but focuses on the spread of Christianity on the island. Bede tells of the first missionary activity in England, the conversions and apostasies of kings, and the founding of churches and monasteries. Soft 383p #435-350 $14.00 Eusebius: The Church History Eusebius, translated by Paul L.Maier The Bondage of the Will Martin Luther, J.I. Packer & O.R. Johnston, translators 8 | Omnibus See page 3 for more about of our Omnibus curriculum. Omnibus II: Church Fathers Through the Reformation Edited by Douglas Wilson and Ty Fischer J.I. Packer says “This is the greatest piece of writing that came from Luther’s pen.” In it Luther deals passionately and persuasively with the common error of his day (and ours) regarding the idea that salvation is anything other than a gift from God. Soft 320p #318-010 $16.99 Eusebius’ history traces the spread of the Gospel from apostolic times into the fourth century. Maier’s f l o w i n g Engli sh t r a n s l a t i o n remains faithful to the Greek while creating a new standard primary resource. There is no more important book to understanding the early church and no more readable edition. Hard 412 p #343-005 $26.99 The Canterbury Tales Geoffrey Chaucer, Nevill Coghill, translator History of the Kings of Britain Geoffrey of Monmouth Again, as was the case in Omnibus I, numerous experts have contributed to this monumental work. You will find all the tools you need to tackle the study of the great works, spanning from early church fathers through the Reformation. Covering history, literature and theology, students will learn to think as Christians as they interact with timeless works. They will also continue to develop their composition and logic abilities and expand their aesthetic sensibilities all in this neatly packaged curriculum. Students completing all six years of Omnibus will have carefully studied every book of the Bible, too. Student Text with Teacher CD-ROM #000-915 $100.00 Student Text #000-916 $75.00 The tales are told by a motley crowd of pilgrims as they journey for five days. Drawn from all levels of society and all walks of life, the pilgrims reveal a picture of English life in the 14th century that is as robust as it is representative. Soft 504p #435-170 $10.00 Confessions Augustine, R.S. Pine-Coffin, translator The lore of King Arthur begins with this historical text. Written a bit in the style of Herodotus— wandering and captivating—we find no simple, factual recounting; rather, a delightful teaching of lessons reflecting the societal interest in nobility and gallantry. More history should be like this. Soft 384p #435-512 $16.00 Augustine wrote while facing a growing spread of asceticism in the Roman world. His task was twofold: to explain to himself the significance of his conversion to Christianity, and to do so in terms that would convince his readers that this was indeed the one, true faith. The result was a masterpiece of intellectual biography. Soft 347p #435-270 $10.00 Macbeth Shakespeare Roma Gill, editor Based on Macbeth, the 11th century ruler of Scotland. For those who want to read a play full of word play, appearance and reality, and irony and Christian innuendoes—Macbeth is for you. Soft 144p #420-263 $8.95 The Divine Comedy Dante, Dorothy Sayers, translator On the Incarnation of Our Lord St. Athanasius Primary Books Omnibus II First Semester Includes: Beowulf, Confessions, Ecclesiastical History of the English People, Eusebius: The Church History, On the Incarnation of Our Lord, Rule of St Benedict in English, The Song of Roland (10% savings) #000-911 $84.50 Omnibus II Second Semester Includes: The Bondage of the Will, The Canterbury Tales, The Divine Comedy: Inferno, History of the Kings of Britain, Macbeth, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (10% savings) #000-913 $64.75 To the consternation of his more academic admirers, Dante wrote his Comedy in colloquial Italian rather than Latin, wanting it to be a poem for the common reader. Taking two threads of a story that everybody knew and loved— the story of a vision of Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, and the story of the lover who must brave the underworld to find his lost lady—he combined them into a great allegory of the soul’s search for God. Soft 346p Book I, Hell (L’Inferno) (shown) #435-230 $13.00 Book II, Purgatory #435-250 $12.00 Book III, Paradise #435-240 $13.00 Athanasius was the greatest defender of Trinitarian Christianity when it came under attack in the fourth century. His On The Incarnation is his most famous work. To be sure, some of what he espoused has since improved, but this work remains an important sample of historical theology. C.S. Lewis’ classic introduction is worth the cost of the book.
