Beschreibung

The book ""History of the Martyrs in Palestine: Discovered in a Very Ancient Syriac"" is a historical account of the Christian martyrs who suffered persecution in Palestine during the early Christian era. The book was written by Eusebius, a renowned Christian historian, and was originally published in 1861. The book is based on a very ancient Syriac manuscript that was discovered in the library of the Monastery of Saint Mary Deipara in the Nitrian Desert in Egypt. The manuscript contains a detailed account of the lives and sufferings of the Christian martyrs who were put to death by the Roman authorities in Palestine.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different group of martyrs. The first chapter deals with the martyrdom of Saint Procopius and his companions, who were executed for their faith during the reign of Emperor Diocletian. The subsequent chapters describe the sufferings of other martyrs, including Saint Pamphilus, Saint Eusebius, Saint Theodorus, and Saint George.The book provides a vivid and detailed account of the persecution of Christians in Palestine during the early Christian era. It highlights the courage and faith of the martyrs who were willing to suffer and die for their beliefs. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the early history of Christianity and the struggles of the early Christian community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Eusebius of Caesarea (260/265 - 339/340 AD), also known as Eusebius Pamphili, was a historian of Christianity, exegete, and Christian polemicist. He became the bishop of Caesarea Maritima about 314 AD. Together with Pamphilus, he was a scholar of the Biblical canon and is regarded as one of the most learned Christians of his time. He wrote Demonstrations of the Gospel, Preparations for the Gospel, and On Discrepancies between the Gospels, studies of the Biblical text. As "Father of Church History" (not to be confused with the title of Church Father), he produced the Ecclesiastical History, On the Life of Pamphilus, the Chronicle and On the Martyrs. He also produced a biographical work on the first Christian Emperor, Constantine the Great, who ruled between 306 and 337 AD. Although Eusebius' works are regarded as giving insight into the history of the early church, he was not without prejudice, especially in regard to the Jews, for while "Eusebius indeed blames the Jews for the crucifixion of Jesus, but he nevertheless also states that forgiveness can be granted even for this sin and that the Jews can receive salvation." Nor can his works be trusted to be from subjectivism, for some scholars believe that "Eusebius is a notoriously unreliable historian, and so anything he reports should be critically scrutinized." This is especially true of his 'Life of Constantine', which he wrote as an eulogy shortly after the emperor's death in 337 A.D, and which is "Often maligned for perceived factual errors, deemed by some so hopelessly flawed that it cannot be the work of Eusebius at all." Yet others see him as a "Constantinian flunky," for as a trusted adviser to Constantine, it was politically expedient for him to present Constantine in the best light as possible.
