Historiarum Adversum Paganos Libri VII by Paulus Orosius, with commentary by Carolus Zagemeister, is a seminal work of late antique historiography. Written in the early 5th century, this seven-book history provides a Christian perspective on world events, arguing that Rome's misfortunes were not caused by the abandonment of the old gods but were part of God's plan.
Orosius's work is a valuable source for understanding the intellectual climate of the period and the transition from paganism to Christianity. His Liber Apologeticus further elucidates his theological arguments and his defense of Christianity against its detractors. This edition, meticulously reviewed and critically annotated by Carolus Zagemeister, offers scholars an essential tool for studying Orosius's influential history and its lasting impact on Western thought.
