language of the sacred texts, whether in See also:

• STYLE
• STYLE (from Gr. a-6'1ms, a column; a different word from that used in literature, see below)

style is lucid and almost classical . Though phrases and even sentences from many classical authors are inwoven here and there, the narrative flows easily, with no trace of the jolts and jerks which offend us in almost every See also:

• ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
• ORDER, HOLY

order that his work might fairly stand beside that of the old Latin writers, Severus ignored the allegorical methods of interpreting sacred history to which the heretics and the orthodox of his age were wedded . As an authority for times antecedent to his own, Severus is of little moment .

At only a few points does he enable:us to correct or supplement other records . See also:

Bernays has shown that he based his narrative of the destruction of See also:

account given by Tacitus in his " Histories," a portion of which has been lost . We are enabled thus to contrast Tacitus with See also:

Josephus, who warped his narrative to do honour to Titus . In his allusions to the See also:

• MACCABEES

Maccabees onwards, Severus discloses some points which are not without importance . But the real See also:

interest of his work lies, first, in the incidental glimpses it affords all through of the history of his own time; next and more particularly, in the See also:

information he has pre-served concerning the struggle over the Priscillianist See also:

• HERESY

heresy, which disorganized and degraded the churches of See also:

Spain and Gaul, and particularly affected See also:

Maximus, who ruled for some years a large See also:

empire, though he never conquered See also:

• ITALY

Italy . He had reproached him with attacking and overthrowing his predecessors on the See also:

throne, and for his dealings with the church . Severus loses no opportunity for laying stress on the crimes and follies of rulers, and on their See also:

• CRUELTY (through the O. Fr. crualte, mod. cruaute, from the Lat. crudelitas)

cruelty, though he once declares that, cruel as rulers could be, priests could be crueller still . This last statement has reference to the bishops who had See also:
