Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from St. John of Damascus The fact that this little volume is one of a series on a settled plan, and with well-defined limits, may obviate in some measure the charge of presumption to which the author would otherwise have been liable. For to portray, in anything like due proportion, such an historical character as John of Damascus, would require a far larger canvas and a hand of more varied powers. It is not indeed too much to say that, for any adequate representation of such a character, a threefold ability would be needful. For besides his position as a theologian of the Eastern Church, we have to regard him as closely connected with the rise of Mahometanism; and, further still, as a Christian poet, whose hymns are sung by myriads at this very day. But while feeling how incomplete, on that account, such an essay as the present one must of necessity be, the author has endeavoured to make it of some little value, as the result of an attentive study of the writings of St. John Damascene. In the spelling of Arabic or Mahometan names, no attempt at uniformity has been made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
