Sommario/riassunto |
|
It would be practically impossible to understand this monumental transition from the Roman world to Christendom without taking into account the pivotal role played by Leo the Great.In this regard, his sermons provide invaluable data for the social historian.It was Leo--and not the emperor--who went out to confront Attila the Hun. |
