Bøger af John Bagnell Bury

In this 1905 work the classical historian J. B. Bury considers the life of St Patrick, to whom he was drawn through study of other missionaries across the later Roman empire. His first chapter surveys the context of the diffusion of Christianity, and an appendix supplies details of the original sources.

This magisterial and very readable 1900 book was the major work of the classical historian J. B. Bury. It became a standard textbook on the topic of ancient Greek history to the death of Alexander the Great for almost a century, and in its updated form is still studied today.
