Ecclesiastical History. A History Of The Church … From A. D. 431 To A. D. 594, Tr. With An Account Of The Author And His Writings [by E. Walford]

First published in 1846, this English translation of the Ecclesiastical History of Evagrius provides a detailed account of the Christian Church during the tumultuous period from the Council of Ephesus in 431 to the death of Emperor Maurice in 594. Evagrius, a Syrian born historian and theologian, drew upon a wide range of primary sources and his own experience to create a rich and multi-faceted portrait of the Church in the fifth and sixth centuries. This edition includes a biography of Evagrius and a detailed analysis of his literary style and historical methodology.
