Codex 29

[Evagrius Scholasticus, Ecclesiastical History]

Read the Ecclesiastical Historyof Evagrius [1] Scholasticus, an ex-praefect, born at Epiphania in Coele-Syria, in six books. The work begins where those of Socrates and Theodoret end, and goes down to the twelfth year of the reign of the emperor Maurice.[2] The style is not without charm, although somewhat diffuse; in matters of doctrine he is certainly more trustworthy than other historians. The work also contains some passages about images.
