Edited and with introduction by Betty Radice. The text used is reproduced from the Everyman Edition 1910 published by J M Dent and Son. Edward Gibbon is one of the greatest of the historians of the Enlightenment. Two centuries of massive scholarship and constant intellectual evolution have inevitably left many marks on Roman Byzantine and even more on medieval European history.
