A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Work is an attempt to supply an acknowledged want, and to give, in a popular form, a history of the oldest Church in Christendom ;the Church of the land hallowed by the sacred memories of our Saviour. To write a hislory of the Greek Church, says John Mason Neale, whose own valuable work was cut short, through his early death at the age of forty-six, is a difficult and a dangerous task. It seems, therefore, a presumptuous undertaking; my plea for indulgence must go for its worth ;but that I am the owner of the house where Hymns Ancient and Modern, to which Dr. Neale was so valuable a contributor, saw their birth ;where the first Committee meetings were held, and the chief contributors, he probably in the number, frequently met; is the excuse I plead, to be, in my humbler endeavour, his successor. Dr. Neale might have added, that to write a history of the down-trodden Greek Church is also, in one sense, an unwelcome task; for it necessitates controversy; to me religious controversy is distasteful ;and, as the lengthening shadows of the evening of life warn me that this may be the last which I shall write, I should have preferred a work of a different character. The conflicts for supremacy between Constantinople and Rome, and the arrogance and injustice of the latter were, in only a less degree than the Saracens and Ottomans, the cause of the fall of the Greek Church.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
