‎Summary The political division of the Roman world into Western and Eastern Roman Empires at the end of the fourth century spurred the divergence of the Latinised Western and the Hellenised Eastern halves. According to a pervasive and deeply ingrained belief in modern academic, educational and popular literature, the ensuing antagonism on religious and cultural grounds between the two parts of medieval Christendom eventually led to the "schism of 1054." Less than fifty years after the schism, Greeks and Latins came into closer contact as a result of the crusades and the encounter was catastrophic, leading to the capture and sack of Constantinople in 1204 by the armies of the Fourth Crusade. This study, the first to deal exclusively with Latin perceptions of and attitudes toward the Greeks in terms of religion, aims to revisit and challenge the view that the so-called schism between the Latin and Greek Churches led to the isolation of the Byzantine Empire by the Latin states and eventually to the events of 1204. Heretics, Schismatics, or Catholics? investigates a wide range of often neglected historiographical, theological, and literary sources as well as letters, and covers the period from the last quarter of the eleventh century, when Pope Gregory VII (1073-1085) first conceived the idea of the union of Christendom under papal leadership for the liberation of Eastern Christians, to the decades that followed 1204, when the crusading enterprise went out of papal control and ended up destroying the very empire which it had initially set out to defend. It brings rigorous analysis and a fresh perspective to bear on these antagonisms and divergences: it demonstrates persuasively the persistence of a paradigm of shared unity between Latins and Greeks and their polities within an integral Christendom over the course of the long twelfth century.

Old ink inscription on the title reading: 'The Society of Clerks to the Signet') (Note: The speeches of the Athenian orators Lysias (c. 459-380 B.C.) and Isocrates (436-338 B.C.) are of great importance for the understanding of the great political issues of the 4th century. Their speeches provide us with a most valuable insight in, and commentary on the social and political events in Athens. 'Taken separately, their writings are imperfect; when combined, they afford a system of information equally extensive and satisfactory'. (Preface p. pi3 recto). The English translation of 18 speeches of Lysias and 6 of Isocrates by the Scottish classical scholar and ancient historian John Gillies, 1747-1836, is mentioned one of his major contributions to classical scholarship. 'In the long preliminary discourse on the history and private lives and manners of the Greeks during the period 404 to 338 B.C., Gillies specifically adopted Isocrates as his source, partly no doubt because it suited his own strongly monarchist views to do so'. (DBC 2,371) During the conference 'Revolutions and Classics' of the UCL, held in 2016, where scholars examined the manner in which classical texts have been deployed in societies undergoing rapid and radical social change, it was argued by the young independent scholar Sebastian Robins, that it was Gillies' intention to make available to his contemporaries classical texts that he believed bore immediately on the most pressing political questions of the day: the American Revolutionary War, a war which had just begun. This armed conflict between Great Britain and its 13 North American colonies raged from 1775 till 1783, during which the colonies declared in July 1776 independence as the United States of America. The authority of the two Athenian orators, Robins says, overrules and rectifies that of the contemporary Athenian orator Demosthenes, and that of the late antique historian/philosopher Plutarch and others 'on the basis of which some of the most ingenious eighteenth-century writers had raised flattering accounts of Greek virtue and glory. Their speeches, moreover, contain compelling evidence of the violence, prejudice, and corruption of the ancient Greeks and of the shortcomings of ancient republican institutions. Champions of the nascent American republic on both sides of the Atlantic, Gillies declares', ought, on the authority of the speeches he translates, to reassess their faith in the relationship between democracy and virtue, which he assumed, underpinned the Congressional declarion (of 1776). Gillies is best known for his 'History of Ancient Greece' (1786), the first substantial complete survey in English of the whole Greek history to the time of August. It became popular, and was quickly translated into German and French) (Provenance: Stamp of the Scottish 'Society of the writers to the Signet' on the boards) (Collation: pi4, A-C4, D2, a-3r4; B-3R4, 3S2 (portrait after leaf L1 and T3) (Photographs on request) (Heavy book, may require extra shipping costs) ‎
