Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in History, Economics and Public Law, Vol. 60 If any defense is necessary for discussing to-day not only the Constantine of history but also the historic ghost of Constantine, i. e, the legends and the forgery which later times produced in his name, it can be found in the fact that starting at one time with a study of the religious revolution which centered in Constantine, and at another With the "Donation of Constantine," forged in the eighth century, I found myself in both instances without any logical stopping-place short of a consideration of the whole field. If in the present work parts of this field are somewhat imperfectly covered, it is my hope that these imperfections may not too seriously impeach the soundness of this procedure. Even the brief summary herein given of the modern critical study of Constantine and Constantinian legends furnishes, in contrast with the early medieval accounts of the emperor, an interesting illustration of the revolution wrought by the modern, scientific-historical spirit. It gains peculiar interest when one considers that Constantine was perhaps the greatest promoter of that other revolution, in which the Christian church gained the mastery of the Roman and Medieval mind, and that the Constantinian legends were among the notable products of the type of piety long promoted by that church. Two of the greatest revolutions in European history thus confront each other, as it were, upon common ground.
