Philostorgios. Philostorgii Cappadocis... Ecclesiasticae Historiae... Libri XII... editi à Iacobo Gothofredo..., Geneva, sumptibus Iacobi Chouër, 1643.
First edition of the work of Philostorgios, an ecclesiastical historian of the fourth and fifth century who, similarly to Theodoretos continued Eusebius’s Ecclesiastic History from 425 on. His History is a treatise bristling with eschatological innuendo, through which he tried to find explanations for the conquest of Rome by the Visigoths in 410.
