Fundada en 1575 por Guillermo de Orange-Nassau, es una de las instituciones más antiguas y valoradas de Europa. Gibbon lo menciona, al pasar, en una de las notas del capítulo decimoquinto de su Decline and Fall. (p. 38) Gibbon, Edward Historiador inglés y autor de la Historia de la decadencia y ruina del Imperio romano Decline and Fall). Fue en Roma que concibió la idea de escribir su gran e importante libro. Se puede comparar su obra con los grandes trabajos clásicos de Herodotus y Tacitus, por la mezcla de historia y literatura. Fue un escritor con muchos admiradores como Byron y Virginia Woolf. La prosa de Gibbon tiene un estilo ornato, elaborado con gran ezfuerzo. Gibbon dice que en su obra describió el “barbarismo y la religión”, como si los dos fueran, de alguna manera, sinónimos.

    Extractions: Edward Gibbon, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire The Enlightenment found many of its virtues ready-made in the world of ancient Rome: economic abundance, and international political structure and a common language for many people. Of course, the greatness of Rome also led to its eventual collapse and fall, and this singular fact has exercised the mind of the historian ever since. Gibbon was perhaps the first to make such a sustained investigation of this kind of event. The following selection is from Chapter XXXVIII: General Observations on the Fall of the Roman Empire in the West. A brief list of resources follows the excerpt. The Greeks, after their country had been reduced into a province, imputed the triumphs of Rome, not to the merit, but to the fortune, of the republic. The inconstant goddess who so blindly distributes and resumes her favours, had now The decay of Rome has been frequently ascribed to the translation of the seat of empire but this history has already shown that the powers of Government were divided As the happiness of a future Should these speculations be found doubtful or fallacious, there still remains a more humble source of comfort and hope. The discoveries of ancient and modern navigators, and the domestic history or tradition of the most enlightened nations, represent the

    Extractions: Gibbon, Edward (1737 - 1794) UK Writer VD Writer and historian of the Roman Empire, Edward Gibbon was born in England on April 27, 1737 and spent his youth on the banks of Lake Geneva . As was the tradition with upper class English families, he came to Switzerland to complete his education. The young man studied at the faculty of law, language and history in Lausanne , where he also frequented the literary salons to read the foreign press and play whist. He fell head over heels with the pastor's daughter, Suzanne Curchod, and wanted to marry her, but her father was categorically opposed. Gibbon had to resign himself to a life of celibacy. The young man thus left the city to forget his sorrows, only to return five years later. He wrote his life's work

The word, first employed as a term of contempt and reproach, has become so general that in most cases no insult- is intended in itf use; similarly, in parts of China, the term “foreign devil ‘ has become void of offence. A strict analogy to giaour is found in the Arabic kaffir, or unbeliever, which is so commonly in usc as to have become the proper name ‘of peoples and countries.
