Socrate Constantinop - Collection Sources chrétiennes
Résumé
--
The ''Ecclesiastical history" of Socrates, a writer who spent most of his life in Constantinople at the beginning of the 5th century, takes up where Eusebius of Caesarea left off. So it begins with the reign of Constantine (306-337) and ends in 438, under Theodosius II. Book One is entirely devoted to the reign of Constantine, whose rise to power it briefly describes, before reviewing the succession of important events in the history of Christianity under his long reign: the Council of Nicaea (325), the emperor's religious strategy, some of the great Episcopal and monastic figures of the times, the conversion of the Barbarians (Axumites, Georgians), the discovery of Christ's cross and tomb, the problems created by the council in the Eastern Empire. Socrates has the advantage of quoting in extenso many essential documents: letters from bishops, the emperor, the council. Moreover, his 'history', unlike any other, is not a history of warring: it reveals a certain irenism, probably due to the fact that its author belonged to the dissident Church (though faithful to Nicaea) of the Novatians.
