商品簡介
When Eusebius (260-340) was bishop of Caesarea Maritima in Palestine, he drew materials for his scholarship from the library founded a century earlier by Origen (185-254) to support his own biblical criticism and teaching. Carriker says the library was important not only for its Christian and Jewish texts, but also for its collection of Greek literature, primarily philosophical and historical works. No physical remains or catalogue survives, so he sifts clues from four of Eusebius' many works to identify philosophy, poetry and oratory, history, Jewish literature, Christian literature and documents, and contemporary documents the library might have contained. The study is revised from his 1999 dissertation in history for Columbia University. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
