SynopsisThis historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1849 edition. Excerpt: ...of the emperor Basil the Macedonian (a. D. 869), as vicarius of the absent patriarch of Alexandria, Michael. A Latin version of a written address presented by Josephus at the council is given in the Cundi a. (Vol. via col. 1114, ed. Labbe; vol. v. coL 887, ed. Hardouin; vol. xvi. coL 148, ed. Mansi; Fabric. BiU. Gr. vol. v. p. 59; Cave, Hist. Litt. vol. ii. p. 55, ed. Oxford, 1740--1742.) 2. Of Arimathea. There is an ancient tradition that Joseph of Arimathca was sent by the apostle Philip to preach the gospel in Britain; and this tradition was gravely urged at the council of Constance, A.d. 1414, in a dispute between the representatives of the French and English churches for the eminence of their respective establishments. Some writers, for instance Bale, have ascribed to Joseph of Arimathea Epistalae quaedam ad Ecclesias Briiannorum; but there is great doubt whether any such writings ever existed, and still greater doubt as to their genuineness.

Some writers have placed his appointment to the patriarchate . D. 1424; but the date given above on the authority of Sylvester Sguropulus, or Syropulus (Hist. Condi. Florent, ix. 16), is, we believe, more correct The emperor Joannes Palaeologus II. was extremely anxious, for political reasons, to promote the union of the Greek and Latin churches: the patriarch did not oppose..., Something exciting has been happening in modern SF. After decades of confusion, many of the field's best writers have been returning to the subgenre called, roughly, "hard SF"-science fiction focused on science and technology, often with strong adventure plots. Now, World Fantasy Award-winning editors David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer present an immense, authoritative anthology that maps the development and modern-day resurgence of this form, argues for its special virtues and present preeminence-and entertains us with some spectacular storytelling along the way.Included are major stories by contemporary and classic names such as Poul Anderson, Stephen Baxter, Gregory Benford, Ben Bova, David Brin, Arthur C. Clarke, Hal Clement, Greg Egan, Joe Haldeman, Nancy Kress, Paul McAuley, Frederik Pohl, Alastair Reynolds, Kim Stanley Robinson, Robert J. Sawyer, Karl Schroeder, Charles Sheffield, Brian Stableford, Allen Steele, Bruce Sterling, Michael Swanwick, and Vernor Vinge. The Hard SF Renaissance will be an anthology that SF readers return to for years to come.A major anthology of the "hard SF" subgenre-arguing that it's not only the genre's core, but also its future:Poul AndersonStephen BaxterGregory BenfordBen BovaDavid BrinTed ChiangArthur C.
