It is on his instigation that Orosius wrote his 'Historia adversus Paganos', the first Christian universal history, from the creation of the world to the founding and history of Rome until A.D. 417. His pagan sources for Roman history were Livy, Tacitus, Suetonius, Justinus and Eutropius. We see here the course of history through the eyes of his master Augustine, who asked Orosius to write a historiographic 'supplement' to his 'City of God'. The work was apologetic, and attacked the pagan complaint that Rome's troubles were caused by her abandonment of the pagan Gods. He proved that there were also sufferings before the rise of Christianity. 'Ego initium miseriae hominum ab initio peccati hominis docere (ducere) institui', he tells the reader in the first chapter, and wanted to demonstrate that the sufferings of humanity diminished since Christ. The History was widely read in the Middle Ages. (Neue Pauly 9,53/4) § An edition of this work was produced by the Dutch scholar Siegbert Havercamp, 1684/174, since 1721 professor of Greek at Leiden University. Schoenemann praises Havercamp because he offered also the 'praefationes' of worthy predecessors. Havercamp included the complete commentary on the 'Historiae' of Franz Fabricius of Düren, (also called Marcoduranus) 1527-1572. Fabricius studied in Paris under Ramus and Turnebus, and published much on Cicero. His Orosius edition dates from 1561. (Sandys 2,268, and ADB 6,507) Havercamp also incorporated the commentary of Ludovicus Lautius, a Flemish priest, who's commentary was published in 1615 in Mainz. (Van der Aa 11,214)) (Provenance: In the right margin of the title a small oval embossed ownership stamp of the 'Free Church College Library Glasgow'. The 'Free Church College Library', Glasgow, was established in 1856, and renamed 'United Free Church College Library' after the reunion of the 'Free Church of Scotland and United Presbyterian Church' in 1900; then it was renamed 'Trinity College Library' after reunion of the 'United Free Church' and the 'Church of Scotland' in 1929. Now it is incorporated in the University of Glasgow Divinity Hall Library) (Collation: +-2+4, *-3*4 (minus blank leaf 3*4), A-4O4) (Photographs on request)
