The pre-eminent historian of his day, Edward Gibbon (1737-94)
produced his magnum opus in six volumes between 1776 and 1788.
Reissued here is the authoritative seven-volume edition prepared by
J. B. Bury (1861-1927) between 1896 and 1900. Immediately and
widely acclaimed, Gibbon's work remains justly famous for its
magisterial account of Roman imperialism and Christianity from the
first century CE through to the fall of Constantinople and beyond.
Innovative in its use of primary sources and notable for its tone
of religious scepticism, this epic narrative stands as a
masterpiece of English literature and historical scholarship.
Volume 2 seeks to explain the rise of Christianity, focusing on its
emergence from and early interactions with Judaism, and the nature
of Christian belief and worship. It also examines the founding of
Constantinople and the pagan reign of Julian.
