In 1607, Sedulius published the
Apologeticus aduersus Alcoranum Franciscanorum, pro Libro Conformitatum. This is a defense of the Franciscan Order, drawing from
Bartholomew Albizzi's commentary of the
Scripture as well as citations from the Christian founders and ancient philosophers. Particularly, his arguments were directed against
Erasmus Alber's criticisms included in the text called
Conformities. Historia likened St. Francis to an angel, introducing the book with a quote from the
Book of Revelation: "And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God." Sedulius also wrote the
Icones sanctae Clarae B. Francisci Assisiatis primigeniae discipulae Sedulius collaborated with
Jan Moretus, the owner of
Plantin Press, on the publication of several religious texts. In addition to religious texts, Sedulius also covered historical events such as the martyr stories (e.g.
Gorcum martyrs) during the
Eighty Years' War. There are texts, including versions by other authors, that contained an engraved portrait of the author or portraits engraved by owners who thought that Sedulius was the author. Some of Sedulius' poems focused on miracles such as Diva Virgo Mosae-Traiectensis and his style is said to have been influenced by
Justus Lipsius. Sedulius is said to have written his works mostly in Latin and has worked with his colleague
Cornelius Thielmans on translated versions. == References ==
