Saint Patrick: His Origins and Career.

Zustand: Sehr gut. 248 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Somewhat rubbed, otherwise very good and clean. / Etwas berieben, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - Hansons scholarly study of St Patrick confronts the controversies surrounding the saint and makes a searching examination of the evidence in each case. It begins with a description of the historical background to Patricks origins and education: late 4th- and 5th-century Britain and the British Church in the 5th century. There follow detailed studies of the sources for Patricks writings and history; the Confessio and Epistle to Coroticus in relation to his career; the question of whether or not he was a monk; the nature of his Latin, and the much disputed matter of his dates. The book concludes with a review of theories about Patrick and Hanson's own assessment of him as an historical figure. - The late Bishop R. P. C. Hanson was Emeritus Professor of Historical and Contemporary Theology at the University of Manchester.
