Ireland's Role in Preserving Classic History
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the similarities and differences between Vogt's "Decline of Rome" and Cahill's "How the Irish Saved Civilization." In many ways, these works describe differing pictures of loyalty - one to a system in which people lived; the other to a system in which people no longer needed to live. They also are both about transition. The Roman empire had fallen into an irreversible, inexorable slide about which it appeared nothing could be done. Neither could the Europe resulting from Rome's eventual fall do anything about the state in which it found itself, but Cahill credits Irish monks with ultimately saving Western civilization by recording Rome's history while also interjecting their own values. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Smith also reveals much of Constantine's humanity as well as his apparent beliefs that he should be counted among the Apostles. While making extensive commentary of his own, he includes several official documents authored by Constantine and distributed to the Empire, allowing the reader opportunity to arrive at his own decisions as well.
