Rezensionen

'Rowland Smith analyses Julian's intellectual and religious beliefs with a clarity and subtlety that permits him to evade the extremes of recent treatments of the reign' - TLS

'The object of this learned and careful study is to dispose of the rabid infidel, the omnipresent Mithraist, and the enterprising despot who have masqueraded under the name of Julian in ancient and modern writings on this short-lived Emperor' - Journal of Theological Studies Volume 47
