Bøger af John Bagnell Bury

Originally published in 1910, this book presents the content of the Creighton Memorial Lecture for 1909, which was delivered at University College, London by John Bagnell Bury. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the Later Roman Empire and Roman political institutions.

In this 1905 work the classical historian J. B. Bury considers the life of St Patrick, to whom he was drawn through study of other missionaries across the later Roman empire. His first chapter surveys the context of the diffusion of Christianity, and an appendix supplies details of the original sources.

This magisterial and very readable 1900 book was the major work of the classical historian J. B. Bury. It became a standard textbook on the topic of ancient Greek history to the death of Alexander the Great for almost a century, and in its updated form is still studied today.
