The Ecclesiastical History of Socrates, Surnamed Scholasticus, or The Advocate, is a comprehensive historical account of the early Christian Church, written by the Greek historian Socrates Scholasticus. The book is divided into seven books, each of which chronicles a different period in the history of the Church, from the time of the apostles to the reign of Emperor Theodosius II. The author provides a detailed and impartial account of the major events and controversies that shaped the development of the Church during this time, including the rise of various heresies, the persecution of Christians by the Roman Empire, and the Council of Nicaea. Socrates Scholasticus also documents the lives and teachings of many prominent figures in the Church, including bishops, theologians, and martyrs.The book was translated into Latin by the French scholar Henri de Valois in the 17th century, and this edition includes Valois' preface and notes. This edition is considered a valuable resource for scholars and students of early Church history, as it provides a detailed and objective account of this important period in Christian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
