		In fulfilling this request, Orosius produced the longest surviving summary of the whole range of ancient Roman history, covering over eleven centuries from before the foundation of the city up until Orosius' own time.
		Orosius followed Livy in placing the foundation of Rome in 751 B.C. He used the era from the foundation of the city ("Ab Urbe Condita") to date all subsequent years, although he included frequent digressions about Greek history, which could not usually be dated in this way.
		The text of J.P.Migne's edition of Orosius is available in an experimental database, which has been created by Max Bänziger.

	Orosius: the Manuscripts of "Seven Books of History against the Pagans"
		When the Spanish priest Paulus Orosius wrote in the early fifth century, at the request of his friend St. Augustine, his Seven books of History against the Pagans he presumably had no idea that he was producing a best-selling school and university text.
		His purpose was complementary to that of his colleague in writing the City of God, namely to refute the current accusation that the collapse of West Roman civilisation was to be attributed to the anger of the Gods of Olympus at the apostasy of their worshippers to Christianity.
		With the coming of the Renaissance the popularity of Orosius' work waned, like that of most secular or semi-secular works of the twilight period of the fall of the empire, before the greater respectability in humanist eyes of the historians of the classical age, and manuscripts become rarer.

	The Seven Books of History Against the Pagans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Orosius wrote the first Christian Universal History, “Historiarum adversus paganos libri septem.” It has been thought to be a supplement to the “City of God,” “Civitate Dei,” especially the third book, in which St. Augustine attempts to prove that the Roman Empire suffered as many disasters before as after Christianity was received.
		It was a common argument among the pagans that the abandonment of the worship of their deities had led to the general break-up of the Roman Empire and all its attendant evils.
		Augustine was annoyed by the persistence of this argument and hoped that a history of all the known people of antiquity, with the fundamental idea in mind that God determines the destinies of nations, would put an end to that pagan thinking.

	Otfried Lieberknecht: L'avvocato de' tempi cristiani
		Paulus Orosius, adduced first by the Ottimo commento (1331/32-1334), is the author today most often accepted to identify this person {P. Toynbee, Dante Studies and Researches (London, 1912), 121-136; C. Riessner, "Paradiso X, 118-120: 'quello avvocato de' tempi cristiani': Orosius oder Lactantius?", DDJb 47 (1972), 58-76; A. Martina, "Orosio," ED 4 (1973), 204-208}.
		With his Historiae adversus paganos, Orosius in fact would qualify perfectly as an "avvocato de' tempi cristiani," because it was his objective to defend the "tempora christiana" against the pagan view that Christian religion and the abandonment of pagan idolatry had initiated an era of historical calamities and general decline {CSEL 5, 1ss., 563s.}.
		This is more than may be said about any other candidate except Orosius, and should suffice to establish him as a viable choice right after Orosius, even if it may still be desirable to remain on relatively safer grounds by giving preference to the latter.

		All that Orosius succeeded in obtaining was John's consent to send letters and deputies to Innocent of Rome; and, after having waited long enough to learn the unfavorable decision of the synod of Diospolis or Lydda in December of the same year, he returned to north Africa, where he is believed to have died.
		The earliest work of Orosius, Consultatio sive commonitorium ad Augustinum de errore Priscillianistarum et Origenistarum, explains its object by its title; it was written soon after his arrival in Africa, and is usually printed in the works of Augustine along with the reply of the latter, Contra Priscillianistas et Origenistas liber ad Orosium.
		As to his sources, besides the Old and New Testaments, Orosius appears to have consulted Julius Caesar, Livy, Justin, Tacitus, Suetonius, Florus and a cosmography, attaching also great value to Jerome's translation of the Chronicles of Eusebius.

		All four of these works are products of Alfred's political and intellectual program as outlined in his renowned epistle prefacing his translation of the Cura Pastoralis of Pope Gregory the Great, and it is generally agreed that Alfred himself translated Orosius' history.
		Our first goal will be to situate these works politically in an overall framework of the developing dynastic agenda of the West-Saxon royal house, which aggrandized its importance throughout the 9th century, emerging as the ruling dynasty of the most powerful kingdom of the Anglo-Saxon heptarchy during Alfred's lifetime.
