Eusebius of Caesarea was one of the most significant and voluminous
contributors to the development of late antique literary culture.
Despite his significance, Eusebius has tended to receive attention
more as a source for histories of early Christianity and the
Constantinian empire than as a writer and thinker in his own right.
He was a compiler and copyist of pagan and Christian texts,
collator of a massive chronographical work, commentator on
scriptural texts, author of apologetic, historical, educational,
and biographical works, and custodian of one of the greatest
libraries in the ancient world. As such, Eusebius merits a primary
place in our appreciation of the literary culture of late antiquity
for both his self-conscious conveyance of multiple traditions and
his fostering of innovative literary and intellectual trajectories.
By focusing on the full range of Eusebius's literary corpus, the
collection of essays in Eusebius of Caesarea offers new and
innovative studies that will change the ways classicists,
theologians, and ancient historians think about this major figure.
