Text in Latin


===================================
Eusebius of Caesarea (c. 260/265 –  339), also known as Eusebius Pamphili , was a Greek historian of Christianity, exegete, and Christian polemicist.
In about AD 314 he became the bishop of Caesarea Maritima in the Roman province of Syria Palaestina.
Together with Pamphilus, he was a scholar of the biblical canon and is regarded as one of the most learned Christians during late antiquity.
He wrote Demonstrations of the Gospel, Preparations for the Gospel and On Discrepancies between the Gospels, studies of the biblical text.
As "Father of Church History ,  he produced the Ecclesiastical History, On the Life of Pamphilus, the Chronicle and On the Martyrs.
He also produced a biographical work on Constantine the Great, the first Christian Roman emperor, who was augustus between AD 306 and AD 337.
