Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of Christianity, Vol. 2 of 4: From Gregory the Great to the Establishment of Papal Autocracy "When Rome called herself Mistress of the World, she knew well enough it was an exaggeration, and that her bounds were not of the earth also. Cruel experience had taught her that she had not one frontier that was not threatened by tribes hidden in the depths of the North, the South of the West." If we turn our attention to the land lying north of the Danube and east of the Rhine, we will there find three great races, or more properly belts of people: (1) The Germans, (2) the Slavs, north and east of the Germans, and (3) the Huns, Lapps, and Finns, north and east of the Slavs. Of these belts of people the Germans are of special interest to us. The word German is of Celtic origin and probably means "neighbors," possibly "shouters." The word Deutsch does not occur until the ninth century and was not then the usual designation. The Germans themselves claimed to have had a common origin, all of them regarding Mannus, the first man, and the son of the God Tuisco, as their common father. Mannus is represented as having three sons and from one or the other of these three sons each and every German was descended, thus having a god-like ancestry. These Germans were known by many and various tribal names, as Goths, Burgundians, Suevi, Alemanni, Vandals, Lombards, Franks, and Saxons; but in their fundamental ideas of government, religion, language, and manners they were alike.
