About this title

Synopsis

The Works Of The Emperor Julian is a collection of writings by the Roman Emperor Julian, who ruled from 361 to 363 AD. The book includes Julian's letters, epigrams, and fragments, as well as his famous polemic Against The Galileans, which criticizes Christianity and advocates a return to traditional Roman paganism.Julian's letters offer insight into his personal life, as well as his political and military campaigns. His epigrams, short poems that often satirize contemporary figures, reveal his wit and humor. The fragments, which are incomplete or damaged pieces of larger works, provide glimpses into Julian's philosophical and religious beliefs.Against The Galileans is perhaps the most well-known work in the collection. In it, Julian argues that Christianity is a dangerous and subversive religion that threatens the stability of the Roman Empire. He calls for a return to the worship of the traditional gods and the promotion of Hellenic culture.Overall, The Works Of The Emperor Julian offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most controversial figures in Roman history. Julian's writings reveal a complex and nuanced thinker who was deeply committed to his beliefs, even in the face of opposition and persecution.Text Is In English And Greek.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
