Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Nathaniel Lardner, D. D, Vol. 8 of 10: With a Life by Dr. Kippis ´Himerius, the sophist,´ says Suidas, ´was the son of the rhetorician Aminius, and was born at Prusias in Bithynia. He lived in the time of the emperor Julian, and was rival of Proaeresius at Athens. In his old age he lost his sight. He made declamations.´ That is the whole article. His life was also written by Eunapius among other sophists and philosophers: but it is short. He says, Himerius was born in Bithynia. He says, he did not know Himerius, though he lived at the same time with him. Julian sent for him, by whom he was well received. He seems to say, that Himerius accompanied Julian so long as he lived, and that he did not settle at Athens till after the death of Proaeresius. He commends the style of Himerius, and says, he imitated the divine Aristides. He lived to a great age, and for some time was afflicted with the leprosy: but perhaps he means the epilepsy, or falling sickness. Cave, in the life of St. Basil, observes, ´that for the direction of his studies he chiefly applied himself to Himerius and Proaeresius, two of the most eminent sophists at that time at Athens, men renowned for learning and eloquence, and upon that account in favour with the emperor Julian.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
