‘Sancti Leonis Magni Papae Primi Opera Omnia, Epistolis Triginta, Tribusque de Gratia Christi Opusculis Auctiora' is an important collection of the works of Pope Leo the Great, one of the most influential church fathers of the 5th century. The edition brings together his most important writings, including thirty letters (Epistolae) and three smaller treatises on the grace of Christ. These texts offer a deep insight into Leos theological thinking, his examination of central questions of faith such as Christology and the doctrine of grace, as well as his role in consolidating papal authority at a time of great ecclesiastical and political upheaval.

In addition to the original texts, the works are supplemented by explanatory notes and observations that make it easier to understand the historical and theological contexts. The collection is not only important for theologians and historians, but also for anyone interested in the development of Christian doctrine and the history of the early papacy. It documents Leos decisive contribution to the formulation of the Creed of Chalcedon and his efforts to preserve the unity of the Church against various heresies.
