  Eusebius of Caesarea - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Eusebius of Caesarea (~275 – May 30, 339) (often called Eusebius Pamphili, "Eusebius [the friend] of Pamphilus") was a bishop of Caesarea in Palestine and is often referred to as the father of church history because of his work in recording the history of the early Christian church.
Eustathius was accused, condemned and deposed at a synod in Antioch.
Eusebius' Life of Constantine (Vita Constantini) is a eulogy and therefore its style and selection of facts are affected by its purpose, rendering it inadequate as a continuation of the Church History.

 Chronicon (Jerome) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chronicle (or Chronicon or Temporum liber) was one of Jerome's earliest attempts in the department of history.
It was composed circa 380 in Constantinople; this is a translation into Latin of the chronological tables which compose the second part of the Chronicon of Eusebius, with a supplement covering the period from 325 to 379.
In spite of numerous errors taken over from Eusebius, and some of his own, Jerome produced a valuable work, if only for the impulse which it gave to such later chroniclers as Prosper, Cassiodorus, and Victor of Tunnuna to continue his annals.

 Ecclesiastical Annals
This chronological narrative, or chronicle, of Eusebius was the source of all universal chronicles, both Byzantine and Western.
Mention may be made of the "Chronicon" of Idatius, Bishop of Galicia (870), who continued the Chronicle of St. Jerome; and the Chronicle of Isidore of Seville, "De sex aetatibus mundi", one of the earliest types of annals, dated according to the Spanish era, which began thirty-eight years before the Christian era.
Quite as important as the "Chronicon" of Sigebert is the "Chronicon Uspergense" of Ekkehard of Aura (died 1129?), one of the most celebrated German historians of the Middle Ages.

 Justin Martyr
The Chronicon Paschale is possibly independent in assigning his martyrdom to the year 165.
Eusebius speaks of two "Apologies," but he quotes them both as one, which indeed they are in substance.
Its occasion is evidently a recent occurrence, and the Chronicon of Eusebius gives 152-153 as the date of the attacks of Crescens.

 Eusebius of Caesarea: Praeparatio Evangelica (Preparation For The Gospel) - Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The prominent position occupied by Eusebius of Caesarea in the Arian controversy and the Council of Nicaea has given rise to so many important treatises on his life and character, that it would be quite superfluous to prefix a formal biography to the present edition of one among his many literary works.
Eusebius was keenly alive both to the ability of the author, and to the dangerous character of his criticism: and there was need as well as opportunity for a new and comprehensive defence of the truth so vehemently attacked.
Fortunately Eusebius, while refuting Porphyry, has given us his own interpretation of the verses, showing at considerable length (102a-108a) that they represent the world as a great animal to which the name of Zeus is applied, his mind being nothing else than the ether.

 Justin Martyr   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The extant work under the title "On the Sovereignty of God" does not correspond with Eusebius' description of it, though Harnack regards it as still possibly Justin's, and at least of the second century.
They are preserved only in the Sacra parallela; but, besides that they were known by Tatian, Methodius, and Eusebius, their influence is traceable in Athenagoras, Theophilus, the pseudo-Melito, and especially Tertullian.
What is designated as the "Second Apology" was written as a supplement to the first, on account of certain proceedings which had in the mean time taken place in Rome before Lollius Urbicus as prefect of the city, which must have been between 150 and 157.

 Eusebius Summary - Eusebius Information
A disciple of Pamphilus at Caesarea, Eusebius wrote a life of his master and called himself "of Pamphilus." He traced his intellectual descent to Origen, and with Pamphilus wrote a defense of Origen against the theological and personal criticisms current during the persecution of 303–313.
Eusebius is known less for his deeds than for his multitudinous writings, some of which are lost.
As historian, Eusebius is best known for his ten books on the history of the church from its divine origin to Constantine's defeat of the pagan emperor Licinius in 324.

 Jerome: the Manuscripts of the "Chronicon"
This is the Latin translation of the Chronological Canons volume of Eusebius of Caesarea's Chronicon.
Eusebius handled this by using a double-page spread for the first part of the work, down to the second year of Darius the Persian.
It contains Jerome's Commentary on Matthew, the Chronicon of Jerome, the Chronicon Imperiale of Prosper, and the Chronicle of Marius of Aventicum.

 Chronicon Paschale
After reaching the history of Abraham he follows the "Chronicle" of Eusebius (always bearing in mind his ecclesiastical purpose) and another authority which probably agreed with the old Byzantine chronicles of Panodorus (395-408) or Annanius (412).
But, as Frick has pointed out, the "Chronicon Paschale" combines what it borrows from the Fasti, or from their source, with extracts from Eusebius and especially from Malalas.
For its influence on Greek Christian chronology, also, and because of its wide scope, the "Chronicon Paschale" takes its place beside Eusebius, and the chronicle of the monk Georgius Syncellus which was so important in the Middle Ages; but in respect of form it is far inferior to these works.

Eusebius introduces the letter thus: "When he had addressed many reasonings on this subject to him (Stephen) by letter, Dionysius at last showed him that, as the persecution had abated, the churches in all parts opposed to the innovations of Novatus were at peace among themselves." [See vol.
In the same passage, Eusebius also remarks that this commendable custom had been continued in the Roman church up to his own time; and with that object collections were made there, of which Leo Magnus writes in his Sermones.-Vales.
Eusebius prefaces this extract thus: "Gallus had not held the government two full years when he was removed, and Valerian, together with his son Gallienus, succeeded him.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Chronicle of Eusebius
Consists of two parts: the first was probably called by Eusebius the "Chronograph" or "Chronographies"; the second he terms the "Canon", or "Canons", and also the "Chronological Canons".
It is brought down to the year 225, and as Eusebius alludes to it at an earlier date in the "Eclogæ Propheticæ" and "Præparatio Evangelica" there must have been two editions.

 Eusebius and CONstantine
Eusebius Pamphili (270 — 340), bishop of Caesarea, was one of the greatest scholars and historians that ever lived.
Eusebius was very familiar with pagan Rome's penchant for destroying books and history and he realized that his writings would be destroyed too and the Christians left without any history if he was not cautious and discreet when writing.
Eusebius was telling his readers in coded language that no matter how many decades intervened between his days and the Second Coming of Christ, this form of corrupt Resurrection-less Christianity married to the kings of the earth would continue until the end of time.

 TESTIMONIES OF THE ANCIENTS IN FAVOR OF EUSEBIUS
In the next place remember that Eusebius, who came among you for the purpose of offering disinterested counsel, now enjoys the reward which is due to him in the judgment of heaven; for he has received no ordinary recompense in the high testimony you have borne to his equitable conduct.
Eusebius, bishop of Caesarea in Palestine, on account of his friendship with Pamphilus the martyr, took from him the surname of Pamphili; inasmuch as along with this same Pamphilus he was a most diligent investigator of sacred literature.
Eusebius is, however, even in this work, like himself in diction, except that his discourse has risen to a somewhat more than usual brilliancy, and that sometimes he has made use of more flowery expressions than he is wont.

The Chronicon was trans­lated into Latin by Jerome, and published by J. Scaliger, Leyden, 1606, of which another enlarged edition appeared at Amsterdam, 1658.
Many accounts of different scenes and periods in church history had been written before, as by Hegesippus, Papias, Irenaeus, and Clemens of Alexandria ; but Eusebius was the first who reduced them all into one whole, availing himself largely of the labours of his predecessors, but giving a unity and completeness to them all.
In this edition the text of Euse­bius was that which had been published by Vale-sius at Paris, in 1659, with many emendations, after a careful recension of the MSS.

(1) According to Eusebius, Papias relates the story of "a woman accused before our Lord"--the story, presumably, which eventually crept into John 8; so that to him, in part, is due the preservation of a narrative, which, whether historical or not, finely illustrates the union in our Lord of holy purity and merciful charity.
Celsum, i.63), thus suggesting canonical position; Eusebius (Historia Ecclesiastica, III, 25) testifies to the widespread ascription of it to this Barnabas, although he himself regards it as "spurious." Codex Sinaiticus places it immediately after the New Testament, as being read in churches, and thus suggests its composition by a companion at least of apostles.
Origen (followed by Eusebius, Jerome, etc.) ascribes the work to the Hermes of Romans 16:14; but his opinion is pure conjecture (puto).

 Tatian
According to Epiphanius, Tatian went to the East after the death of Justin (circa 165), and then became heretical, and Eusebius states that he was recognized as heretical in 173.
Zahn and most writers accept this as in the main correct; it is generally thought that his heresy was recognized in Rome, and it is suggested that this was the reason why he returned to the East.
One is an attempt to deal with the contradictions to be found in the Bible; the Diatessaron is an amalgam of the four Gospels treated as a unified story; also lost is a recension of the Pauline epistles; and finally the Oratio ad Graecos, belonging to Tatian's Catholic period.

 RAMELLI: Possible historical traces in the Doctrina Addai
Eusebius says that still in his time in the Edessan archives there were the documents concerning Abgar, and that he translated them from Syriac (ibid.
Moreover, in the Doctrina, the Acta Maris, 2, and the Peregrinatio Aegeriae, 19, 9, Jesus promises the invincibility of Edessa, a clause absent in Eusebius and Moses.
Eusebius goes on translating the Syriac documents that came after the letters in his papers taken from the Edessan archives (HE 1.13.11); so, he tells the story of Thaddeus' mission.

 Olympic to Julian Conversion: Olympiad Years
The Olympic chronography which survived antiquity essentially intact is that of Eusebius, as transcribed in Jerome's Chronicon; the section relevant to the Ptolemies is available here.
Eusebius was concerned with reconciling the events of biblical history with classical historical material.
For a chronologist seeking to establish precision, an obvious disadvantage of the system is that the calendar years of the individual calendars mapped to the Olympic years were not synchronised to the Olympic year any more than they were synchronised to each other.

Yet Eusebius himself in his Oration uses language almost as obnoxious, and records that Constantine was much pleased with it.
There is a striking touch of naturalness in this passage which tells for the historical trustworthiness of the biographer, and though exposing the fault of the emperor yet gives a rather pleasing glimpse of his character.
The idea of ownership in empire which seems so strange in these days of republics, and is disallowed even by theoretical monarchists, seems to have been a most matter-of-course one in the mind of Constantine, and Eusebius was a true imperialist regarding "tyranies" and "republics" as in the same category.

According to this authority Quadratus clalmed to be a disciple of the apostles, and that, to furnish to his brethren in the faith a defense against the false charges brought by the heathen, he wrote a learned defense of Christianity which he forwarded to the Emperor Hadrian (q.v.; 117-138).
The passage in the Chronicon runs as follows: "Quadratus, a disciple of the apostles and Aristides, a presbyter of Athens, composed and sent to Hadrian books in favor of the Christian religion." The same fact is stated in the "History" in practically the same words.
The mention of the prophet by Eusebius follows immediately after his report of the speech of Ignatius of Antioch, whose martyrdom took place under Trajan, or perhaps under Hadrian.

 Berossos: A Short Summary
Eusebius' other mentions of Berossos in Praeparatio Evangelica are derived from Josephus, Tatianus, and another inconsequential source (The last cite contains only, "Berossos the Babylonian recorded Naboukhodonosoros in his history.").
The Armenian translation of Eusebius and Syncellus' transmission (Chronicon and Ecloga Chronographica respectively) both record Berossos' use of "public records" and it is possible that Berossos catalogued his sources.
B.C.E. Eusebius reports that Apollodoros reports that Berossos recounts 430,000 years from the first king, Aloros, to Xisouthros and the Babylonian Flood.
