Historical Note

There is no known record of a Catholic priest named Christopher de Naeijer, the name inscribed within the cover of this volume. According to a colophon at the end of the text, however, it was copied down as dictated by theology professor Pierre Dens in 1745 and 1746; therefore de Naeijer would have been at seminary in Mechelen in the 1740s. Dens would eventually publish these lectures between 1754 and 1760 as Theologia Moralis et Dogmatica.
