- catalog abstract "Annotation When Eusebius (260-340) was bishop of Caesarea Maritima in Palestine, he drew materials for his scholarship from the library founded a century earlier by Origen (185-254) to support his own biblical criticism and teaching. Carriker says the library was important not only for its Christian and Jewish texts, but also for its collection of Greek literature, primarily philosophical and historical works. No physical remains or catalogue survives, so he sifts clues from four of Eusebius' many works to identify philosophy, poetry and oratory, history, Jewish literature, Christian literature and documents, and contemporary documents the library might have contained. The study is revised from his 1999 dissertation in history for Columbia University. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com). Annotation This volume reconstructs the contents of the library in Roman Palestine of Eusebius of Caesarea (ca. 265-339) by examining Eusebius' major works, the "Ecclesiastical History, "Chronicon, "Preparation for the Gospel, and "Life of Constantine. After surveying the history of the library from its origins as an ecclesiastical archive and its true foundation by Origen of Alexandria to its disappearance in the seventh century, it discusses how Eusebius used his sources and then examines what specific works were available in the library in chapters devoted to philosophical works, poetry and rhetoric, histories, Jewish and Christian works, and contemporary documents. The book ends with a useful list of the contents of the library.".
