Description: Orosius : Seven Books of History Against the Pagans, Paperback by Fear, A. T. (TRN), ISBN 1846312396, ISBN-13 9781846312397, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This new annotated translation is published exactly 1600 years after the Gothic sack of Rome by Alaric in 410, an event that provoked vigorous criticism of Christianity by pagans who blamed this and other disasters on the new religion. Orosius's History represents a Christian response to such charges. Beginning with the creation and continuing to his own day, his book was an immensely popular and standard work of reference of antiquity throughout the middle Ages and beyond. Its importance lay in the fact that Orosius was the first Christian author to write not a church history, but rather a history of the secular world interpreted from a Christian perspective. This approach gave new relevance to Roman history in the medieval period and allowed Rome's past to become a valued part of the medieval intellectual world. The structure of history and methodology deployed by Orosius formed the dominant template for the writing of history in the medieval period, being followed, for example, by such writers as Otto of Freising and Ranulph Higden. Orosius's work is therefore crucial for an understanding of early Christian approaches to history, the development of universal history, and the intellectual life of the Middle Ages, for which it was both an important reference work and also a defining model for the writing of history. . Fear is a Lecturer in Classics at the University of Manchester.
