Produktbeschreibung

A fifth century Roman lawyer and historian, Sozomen was born into a wealthy family of Bethelia, a small town near Gaza, Palestine. His 'Ecclesiastical History' in nine books is broadly arranged along the reigns of Roman Emperors, from the conversion of Constantine I and the Council of Nicea (312-325) to the accession of Valentinian III (425). Sozomen's text is distinguished for its classical literary style, its favouring of monasticism and its greater use of western European sources. His work had a lasting influence, preserving for the medieval church the majority of its knowledge of the period. Delphi's Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This eBook presents Sozomen's complete extant works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
