Summary:
Folio leaf is an early example of printing from metal types, outside of Germany, where their process of manufacture was invented by Johann Gutenberg, ca. 1455. The text shows old style roman characters with hand-written initial letters.
"St. Augustine (b. 354, d. 430) composed De civitate Dei (The City of God) in response to an attack on Rome by the Visigoth king Alaric I (r. 395–410) in 410. Roman pagans blamed the invasion on the Christian religion, protesting that the ancient gods refused to protect the city out of anger at the adoption of Christianity as the official religion of the Roman Empire in 381. St. Augustine’s text addressed the action of God in the world and in human history, and his collective writings laid the foundation for much of medieval Christian thought." -The British Library
