Medieval History
From the ever productive and redoubtable Roger Pearse:
Since apparently no-one intends to scan an English translation of
Ammianus Marcellinus, I have gone ahead and scanned the old Bohn
(1862) translation by C.D.Yonge. It's here:
http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/index.htm#Ammianus_Marcellinus
The text etc is all public domain everywhere in the world, so go
ahead, take copies, use it as you see fit with my blessing. That's
what it's for.
Pressure of other tasks meant that I had to omit footnotes, and
probably there are typos. If you see the latter, and feel like
sending them to me, I will fix them!
This book is also on Google books, complete -- but only if you're in
the US! I find that a lot of people outside the US dismiss Google
Books. This is because we can't actually see most of the content. In
fact it contains acres of useful stuff that we cannot see. For
several links for Greek, Latin, etc, all available complete -- in the
US! -- see the links here:
http://semperegoauditor.typepad.com/ccc/2006/12/google_books.html
The whole collection of English translations of the Fathers not in the
ANF etc (plus related texts) is at:
http://www.tertullian.org/fathers
A CDROM of the site is also available:
http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/all_the_fathers_on_cd.htm
All the best,

- Roger Pearse At It Again....
One of these is the "Commentary on the Nicene Creed" by al-Majdalus. He may have been a Melkite priest of the 10th century. This one came in last weekend, which is why I publicise it. You can get the Arabic text, and English translation in Word documents....
- Commentary On The Nicene Creed
I've placed the English translation by Alphonse Mingana of Theodore of Mopsuestia's "Commentary on the Nicene Creed" online here: http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/theodore_of_mopsuestia_nicene_02_tex t.htm Introduction here: http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/theodore_of_mopsuestia_nicene_01_int...

- Roger Pearse Has Been Busy
Roger provides a wonderful service. He's added more to his great website. I have scanned an English translation of 16 letters from Libanius to Julian the Apostate: http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/libanius_02_16_letters_to_julian.htm Also his oration...
