Zosimus: Revizyonlar arasındaki fark

 

== ''Historia Nova'' ==

Zosimus' ''Historia Nova'' (Ἱστορία Νέα, "New History") is written in Greek in six books. For the period from 238 to 270, he apparently uses [[Dexippus]]; for the period from 270 to 404, [[Eunapius]]; and after 407, [[Olympiodorus of Thebes|Olympiodorus]]. His dependence upon his sources is made clear by the change in tone and style between the Eunapian and Olympiodoran sections, and by the gap left in between them. In the Eunapian section, for example, he is pessimistic and critical of [[Stilicho]]; in the Olympiodoran section, he offers precise figures and transliterations from the Latin, and favors Stilicho.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books/about/Ancient_Historians.html?id=-9lH60l2FdsC|title=Ancient Historians: A Student Handbook|last=Sorek|first=Susan|date=|publisher=A&C Black|year=2012|isbn=9781441179913|location=|pages=211|language=en}}</ref>
