PREFACE

The following pages are a modest attempt to bring before the public certain
documents of great importance for the understanding of the growth and
development of the Christian religion. They are not new, almost all of them
having been translated at one time or another into English, French, German,
or Italian: but they are all practically unknown save to scholars, are all
fragmentary, and with hardly an exception, are difficult to understand
without a running commentary. In these circumstances, I have ventured to
follow, not for the first time, the advice given by Sir Gaston Maspero to his
pupils in one of his luminous lectures at the Collège de France. “If” said in
effect that great master of archaeology, “you find yourselves in the presence
of scattered and diverse examples of any monument you cannot understand
—funerary cones, amulets of unusual form, hypocephali, or anything else—
make a collection of them. Search museums, journals of Egyptology,
proceedings of learned societies, until you think they have no more
novelties of the kind to offer you. Then put those you have collected side by
side and study them. The features they have in common will then readily
appear and in a little time you will find that you will perceive not only the
use of the objects in question, but also the history of their development,
their connexion with each other, and their relative dates.” This has been the
end aimed at in this book; and although, like most aims in this world, it has
not been perfectly achieved, it may, I think, be said with confidence that
these documents explain and supplement one another in a remarkable
degree, and that in the majority of cases sense can now be read into what at
first sight seemed to be nonsense. As more fragments of the same kind
come to light, also, one has fair reason to hope that those points which are
still obscure may be made clear.
The system of references adopted perhaps calls for some explanation. As I
have no right to expect my readers to take what I say for gospel, I should
have preferred to give my authority for every statement made by me in the
text. But there are often many authorities supporting the same statement,
and some discrimination between them was necessary unless these two
volumes were to be swollen to an intolerable length. The same
consideration for brevity, too, has often led me to quote at second or third
hand rather than at first. References to well-known passages in the more
widely read classical writers and Christian Fathers are not needed by
scholarly readers, while to others they are difficult to check or verify. I have
therefore deliberately and of choice preferred the less recondite sources to
the more recondite, and have never hesitated to refer the reader to
encyclopaedias, popular lectures, and the works avowedly addressed to the
general public of writers like Renan and Mahaffy, rather than to the sources
from which they have themselves drawn their information. In so doing,
however, I have never consciously failed to check the statement quoted with
the original source, and to see, so far as in me lay, that it correctly
represents its purport. A fairly long experience has convinced me that to
many readers the “Apoll. Rhod. ac Nigid. Schuster, p. 41” and the
“Clemens de div. serv. Su 20” dear to certain German professors and their
English admirers mean very little, and to the greater public nothing at all.
For the translations which appear in the text or notes I have gleaned from
all sources, but, except where expressly mentioned, I must personally
accept all responsibility for them, and in cases in which any doubt seemed
possible I have generally added the words of the original document.
Finally, I have not attempted to impress my own opinion on my readers, but
merely to give them the material on which they can form their own; and
where I have found myself in doubt as to what the facts of the case really
were, I have never scrupled to say so. This is not a counsel of perfection,
but the one which on the whole seemed to me best. If by doing so I have
succeeded in sending to the documents themselves a few readers hitherto
ignorant of them, I shall think I have not wasted my time.

TABLE OF DATES

N.B. The dates which follow are only approximate, no attempt having here
been made to harmonize the system of chronology lately adopted by the
professors of the Berlin school with those formerly in use. For the dates of
the reigns of the Egyptian and Asiatic Successors of Alexander, I have
mainly relied upon the excellent work of M. Bouché-Leclercq as given in
his French version of Droysen’s Hellenismus, his Histoire des Lagides and
(especially) his Histoire des Séleucides, the second volume of which,
containing the chronological tables, maps, and indexes, has appeared at the
close of this year (1914). The dates of the Parthian and Bactrian kings are
given with all reserve and are in effect conjectures based on the slipshod
statements of compilers like Justin, Quintus Curtius, and Trogus Pompeius.
For the Parthian dates I have followed, though without any confidence in its
accuracy, the chronology of Prof. Eduard Meyer, and for the Bactrian, those
given in Mr. H. C. Rawlinson’s Bactria.
The dates in Vol. II, which deals with the centuries after Christ, are for the
most part fairly well ascertained, and those given in Prof. Bury’s edition of
Gibbon have been used wherever possible. For matters not mentioned in
Gibbon, such as the lives of the obscurer Christian Fathers and leaders of
sects, recourse has generally been had to Smith and Wace’s Dictionary of
Christian Biography and other books of the kind. The only serious
discrepancy here noticeable arises from the habit still prevalent among
certain Continental writers of beginning the Christian Era four years earlier
than others, so as to increase all subsequent dates by 4. Thus M. Cumont, in
his Mystères de Mithra and elsewhere, invariably gives the date of the
Carnuntum inscription proclaiming Mithras the Protector of the Roman
Empire, as 307 A.D., although he asserts that the Iovii et Herculi
religiosissimi Augusti responsible for the inscription are Diocletian and
Galerius. Diocletian, however, resigned the purple, and retired into private
life in the year 305 A.D., by the reckoning of Prof. Bury and others, and it is
plain therefore that M. Cumont puts the date too far forward according to
our ideas. To bring it into line, I have therefore ventured to alter the date of
the inscription quoted by him to 304 A.D., which would moreover coincide
with the persecution of the Christians, which he thinks may have owed
some of its severity to the rivalry of the Mithraic faith. The same procedure
has been followed in one or two other cases.
