Bøger af Edward Gibbon

Con Teodosio spirò il genio di Roma, poichè fu esso l'ultimo dei successori d'Augusto e di Costantino, che conducesse in campo gli eserciti e vedesse la sua autorità riconosciuta per tutta l'estensione dell'Impero. La memoria però delle sue virtù continuò tuttavia a difendere la debole ed inesperta età dei suoi figli. Dopo la morte del padre, Arcadio ed Onorio furono per unanime consenso del Mondo salutati come Imperatori legittimi dell'Oriente e dell'Occidente; fu ardentemente preso il giuramento di fedeltà da ogni ordine dello Stato, dai Senati dell'antica e della nuova Roma, dal Clero, dai Magistrati, da' Soldati e dal Popolo.

L'INSEPARABILE connessione degli affari civili ed ecclesiastici mi ha dato motivo ed aiuto a riferire il progresso, le persecuzioni, lo stabilimento, le divisioni, il pieno trionfo e la successiva corruzione del Cristianesimo. Ma ho differito o bella posta l'esame di due religiosi avvenimenti, di conseguenza nello studio della natura umana, ed importanti nella decadenza e rovina del Romano Impero, cioè I. l'istituzione della vita monastica ; e II. la conversione de' Barbari Settentrionali.
