The History Of The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire, Volume III In the second century of the Christian Aera, the empire of Rome comprehended the fairest part of the earth, and the most civilized portion of mankind. The frontiers of that extensive monarchy were guarded by ancient renown and disciplined valor. The gentle but powerful influence of laws and manners had gradually cemented the union of the provinces. Their peaceful inhabitants enjoyed and abused the advantages of wealth and luxury.

Según cuenta el propio Gibbon, el 15 de octubre de 1764, en Roma, mientras meditaba entre las ruinas del Capitolio, tuvo la idea de escribir sobre la decadencia y caída de la ciudad, un proyecto, sin embargo, al que parecía abocado por toda su trayectoria vital e intelectual. Gran erudito, de talante ilustrado y contrario a todo prejuicio, la admiración de Gibbon por la civilización clásica le impulsó a buscar en la historia las razones del progresivo deterioro de los ideales de libertad política e intelectual. La Historia de la decadencia y caída del Imperio romano desde un principio causó un profundo impacto. Los tres primeros volúmenes abarcan desde el emperador Marco Aurelio, cuya muerte en el año 180 d.C. cerró la era de los Antoninos, hasta la desaparición del Imperio romano de occidente bajo los godos en el año 476; los tres volúmenes restantes relatan la historia del Imperio bizantino hasta su extinción a manos de los turcos en 1458. La versión abreviada que aquí presentamos, preparada por Dero A. Saunders en 1952, condensa lo más relevante de esta gran obra, principalmente de su primera mitad. Sin duda, nos hallamos ante una de las obras clave para entender los fundamentos de la cultura occidental.

Edward Gibbon (1737-1794) was an English historian and politician. His magnum opus is his History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, originally published in six volumes between 1776 and 1789. It is one of the first modern analyses of Roman history using original sources, one of the first Roman histories to continue through the fall of the Eastern (Byzantine) Empire, and notorious for its anti-Christian bias. Although it has been superseded by later historians, the The Decline and Fall remains significant because of Gibbon's readable prose, his methodical ap- proach, and the scope of his work. This book is in the Deseret Alphabet, a phonetic alphabet for writing English developed in the mid-19th century at the University of Deseret (now the University of Utah).

Costantinopoli e della Germania, ora risalendo all'epoca del regno d'Eraclio, mi trasferirò sulla frontiera orientale della monarchia greca. Mentre lo Stato s'impoveriva colla guerra di Persia, e straziata era la Chiesa dalla Setta di Nestorio e da quella dei Monofisiti, Maometto, colla spada in una mano e coll'Alcorano nell'altra, fondava il suo trono sulle ruine del Cristianesimo e di Roma. I talenti del Profeta arabo, i costumi del suo popolo e lo spirito della sua religione sono tra le cagioni che hanno operato il decadimento e l'ultimo crollo dell'impero d'Oriente; e la rivoluzione che ne seguì, e che si può noverare fra le più memorabili che impressero nelle varie nazioni de...

Se prendiamo a considerar seriamente la purità della Religione Cristiana, la santità de' suoi morali precetti, e l'innocente non meno che austera vita della maggior parte di quelli, che ne' primi tempi abbracciarono la fede dell'Evangelio, saremo naturalmente indotti a supporre, che anche dal Mondo infedele risguardata si fosse con la dovuta riverenza una dottrina così benefica; che le persone sapienti e culte, quantunque deridendo i miracoli, stimato avessero le virtù della nuova setta, e che i Magistrati avesser protetto, invece di perseguitare, un ordine di uomini, che prestava la più sommessa obbedienza alle leggi, sebbene sfuggisse le attive cure della guerra e del governo.

Con Teodosio spirò il genio di Roma, poichè fu esso l'ultimo dei successori d'Augusto e di Costantino, che conducesse in campo gli eserciti e vedesse la sua autorità riconosciuta per tutta l'estensione dell'Impero. La memoria però delle sue virtù continuò tuttavia a difendere la debole ed inesperta età dei suoi figli. Dopo la morte del padre, Arcadio ed Onorio furono per unanime consenso del Mondo salutati come Imperatori legittimi dell'Oriente e dell'Occidente; fu ardentemente preso il giuramento di fedeltà da ogni ordine dello Stato, dai Senati dell'antica e della nuova Roma, dal Clero, dai Magistrati, da' Soldati e dal Popolo.
