1690 History of Theodosius I Roman
Empire Pagan v Christianity ROME Olympics 2v
Esprit Fléchier was a 17th-century
French author who composed two important historical works – the histories of
Cardinal Ximenes and Emperor Theodosius I – which are known to be highly
accurate and insightful. While known primarily for his written sermons,
spiritual memoires, and religious writings, these historical works have been
Flechier’s most desirable works.
This book, ‘Histoire de Theodose le Grand’, covers the life and political reign
of Roman Emperor Theodosius I. Theodosius was the last emperor to rule the
entire the Roman Empire and played a critical role in the establishment of
Christianity in the Empire and banned pagan rituals which were common in both
Roman and Greek cultures. Theodosius is also remembered for prohibiting the
holding of Olympic Games following the games of 393 AD (for the association
with pagan rituals).
This 17th-century edition is more
complete and extensive than the first edition, containing volumes from the 1690
and 1692 editions.
