Synopsis

SOZOMENUS COLLECTION [2 BOOKS] Salminius Hermias Sozomenus was a historian of the Christian Church. He was born around 400 in Bethelia, a small town near Gaza, into a wealthy Christian family of Palestine. What he has to tell us of the history of Southern Palestine was derived from oral tradition. He appears familiar with the region around Gaza, and mentions having seen Bishop Zeno of Majuma, the seaport of Gaza. Sozomen wrote two works on church history, of which only the second one is extant. His first work covered the history of the Church, from the Ascension of Jesus to the defeat of Licinius in 323, in twelve books. His sources for it included Eusebius of Caesarea, the Clementine homilies, Hegesippus, and Sextus Julius Africanus. Sozomen's second work continues approximately where his first work left off. He wrote it in Constantinople, around the years 440 to 443 and dedicated it to Emperor Theodosius II. —BOOKS— A HISTORY OF THE CHURCH IN NINE BOOKS THE ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY OF SOZOMEN PUBLISHER: AETERNA PRESS
