Recenzje

'... this award-winning monograph is a tour-de-force. It builds upon previous generations of scholarship while charting a new and intriguing direction in approach to the EH. It takes Eusebius seriously as an innovative literary genius capable of the sophisticated argument that Corke-Webster meticulously extracts from the EH.' Mark DelCogliano, Studies in Late Antiquity
