    Extractions: The primitive Romans were infected by the example of the Etruscans and Greeks: and in the mad abuse of prosperity and power, every pleasure that is innocent was deemed insipid; and the Scatinian law , which had been extorted by an act of violence , was insensibly abolished by the lapse of time and the multitude of criminals. Gli antichi romani ne furono contagiati dall’esempio degli etruschi e dei greci : e in un folle abuso di benessere e potere, ogni piacere innocente fu giudicato insipido; la legge Scatinia , emanata sulla spinta di un atto di violenza , venne impercettibilmente abolita col trascorrere del tempo e il moltiplicarsi dei trasgressori.

    http://www.jimandellen.org/montolieu/gibbon.html
    
    Extractions: The story of Mme de Montolieu's flirtation and playing at courtship with Gibbon, his role in the writing and production of Caroline de Lichtfield , and their continuing real later friendship are all alluded to by him in Volume 3 of The Letters of Edward Gibbon , ed. J. E. Norton (London: Cassell, 1956, 3 vols): 1) A full portrait of Gibbon's time among these women which probably includes details of emotion and memory connected to Montolieu, October 22, 1784: No. 623, Vol 3, pp 13-14 (he is 47, she is 33), from which I quote: "I have discovered about half a dozen Wives who would please me in different ways and by various merits; one as a Mistress (a Widow vastly like the Eliza ; and if she returns I am to bring them together ..." The Eliza is Lady Eliza Foster who became mistress to Devonshire after becoming governess to his daughter; and of whom Gibbon said she was so seductive a old powerful male sitting on his woolsack in front of all the Parliament who get off to follow her beckoning in public if she did so beckon); 2) We see how the novel figured into their relationship: January 20, 1787, No 642, Vol 3, p 62 (he is 49, she is 35): "Has Mylady read a novel entitled Caroline de Lichtfield , of our home manufacture; I may say of ours, since Deyverdun and myself were the judges and patrons of the Manuscript. The author who is since married a second time (Madame de Crousaz, now Montolieu) is a charming woman. I was in some danger."; 3) He singles out Mme de Montolieu as someone Catherine de Severy should tell he remembers her, May 23, 1788, No 687, Vol 3, p 106 (he is 51; she is 37); 4) the story of his kneeling in play to a woman happened but with Duchess of Devonshire, October 12, 1792, No 813, Vol 3, p 278 (he is 55; she is 41); 5) Evidence of continuing mutually supportive friendship, November 8, 1792, No 816, Vol 3, p 288 (he is 55; she 41): "Your note has been communicated to Madame de Montolieu; but as she is engaged with a dying aunt, I have not yet seen her."

    Extractions: "Many a sober Christian would rather admit that a wafer is God than that God is a cruel and capricious tyrant." English historian and scholar, the supreme historian of the Enlightenment, best known as the author of the monumental THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, often considered as the greatest historical work written in English. "It was at Rome... as I sat musing amidst the ruins of the Capitol, while barefoot friars were singing vespers in the Temple of Jupiter, that the idea of writing the decline and fall of the city first started to my mind." However, Gibbon's first works were written in French. Edward Gibbon was born at Putney in South London into a prosperous family. His father was a wealthy Tory Member of Parliament who went into seclusion and left him to the care of an aunt. Gibbon was a sickly child and his education at Westminster and at Magdalene College, Oxford, was irregular. He was expelled from Magdalene College for turning to Roman Catholicism and sent, in 1753 by his father, to Lausanne Switzerland. He boarded with a Calvinist pastor and rejoined the Anglican fold. In Lausanne he fell in love with Suzanne Curchod, who eventually married Jacques Necker. Their relationship was ended by his father and Gibbon remained unmarried for the rest of his life. Suzanne became the mother of the sage Madame de Staël.

Januar in London) war einer der bedeutendsten britischen Historiker Edward Gibbon (1737-1794) Er verfasste als Hauptwerk eine Analyse der Spätantike , worin er die Hauptschuld am Untergang des Römischen Reiches dem Christentum und der angeblichen Dekadenz des Imperiums gab. Im Byzantinischen Reich (diese Bezeichnung wurde von ihm erst geprägt) sah er eine Fortsetzung und Steigerung dieser Dekadenz, weshalb es seiner Ansicht nach eine orientalische Despotie war, die den Namen ?Römisches Reich? nicht verdiente. Im Gegensatz dazu sah er die seiner Analyse nach noch naturhaft-gesunden jungen Reiche des mittelalterlichen Nord- und Westeuropa. Auch auf die deutsche Geschichtsschreibung hatte Gibbon großen Einfluss. Dieses ist u.a. an der sechsbändigen römischen Geschichte von Wilhelm Drumann zu sehen. In stark übersteigerter und vergröberter Form wirkten seine Thesen bis in die
