The ecclesiastical history of the fifth century in the Eastern Empire is one, which not even the genius of a Gibbon or a Milman can make interesting, or even intelligible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
