Gregory the Great Vol. 1 of 2: His Place in History and Thought (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Gregory the Great Vol. 1 of 2: His Place in History and Thought<br><br>Such are the original authorities which bear directly on the life of Gregory. But besides these I have frequently referred to many others which more or less indirectly throw light upon my subject. The works of such authors as Cassiodorus Evagrius Procopius Gregory of Tours Paul the Deacon Theophylact Isidore and Theophanes to say nothing of the lesser contemporary chroniclers and biographers and the later Byzantine historians can of course be neglected by no serious student of this period. Of these writers however I need not here supply a complete list; whenever I have had occasion to quote them I have supplied the reference in my notes.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
