Talk:Lausiac History

Untitled

The Lausiac History is referenced in many Wikipedia articles. I am commencing recording the text of the Lausiac History for LibriVox.org , and they request "Link to title on Wikipedia (if available)" and "Link to author on Wikipedia (if available)"; the link to the author was present but empty, and many links to him are, as I discovered in searching Wikipedia, to the wrong Palladius.

My intention today is to flesh out the life of Palladius of Galatia and to provide a crude, but useful, article on the Lausiac History, which is what has been flagged. Over the next week, I am happy to flesh out a full article on the subject; however, I see no reason to consider what I have written as not being better than nothing: It provides a short, but accurate description of the subject, and provides links to a public domain English translation of the text. If someone thnks it merits deletion, I certainly am taken aback, but so be it.

Catholic Encyclopedia

Later research has very considerably rehabilitated Palladius. The chief authorities now (Butler, Preuschen) consider the "Lausiac History" to be in the main a serious historical document, with as well as an invaluable picture of the lives and ideas of the earliest Christian monks<:ref name="cath">Catholic Encyclopedia</ref>.

The now in this sentence is a century ago, and the source is being tendentious, as often. A book can be both a serious source and a collection of tales about navigating crocodiles. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 14:37, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
