Antique Print of Nicolaus, Christian Heresy, Published Ca. 1701

About the Item

Antique portrait titled 'Nicolaus'. Portrait of Nicolaus (Nicolas). This print originates from 'Historie der kerken en ketteren van den beginne des Nieuwen Testaments tot aan het jaar onses Heeren 1688 ... In het Neederduyts vertaald' by G. Arnold. Nicolaus – This original antique print depicts Nicholas. Nicolaism (also Nicholaism, Nicolationism, or Nicolaitanism) is a Christian heresy, first mentioned (twice) in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament, whose adherents were called Nicolaitans, Nicolaitanes, or Nicolaites. Hippolytus of Rome states that the deacon Nicolas was the author of the heresy and the sect. The Seven Deacons were leaders elected by the Early Christian church to minister to the people of Jerusalem. Nicholas, described in Acts as a convert to Judaism, was not remembered fondly by some early writers. According to Irenaeus’ Adversus Haereses, the Nicolaitanes, a heretical sect condemned as early as the Book of Revelation, took their name from the deacon. Artists and Engravers: Gottfried Arnold (1666 – 1714) was a German Lutheran theologian and historian. Etching by Romeyn de Hooghe. Condition: Very good, general age-related toning. Please study image carefully. Antique prints have long been appreciated for both their aesthetic and investment value. They were the product of engraved, etched or lithographed plates.
