John Milton (1608–1674) De Doctrina Christiana (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1825). Ee.1.4, title page.
De Doctrina Christiana (‘On Christian Doctrine’) is a compilation of theological writings produced by Milton from around 1655, which expounds some of his more unorthodox religious views. The government seized it after an unsuccessful attempt to publish the manuscript immediately after Milton’s death. It then remained hidden in a cupboard in Whitehall until its rediscovery and eventual publication in 1823.
