The Author of the Memoir concerning the Affair of ACACIUS.

THIS Memoir was composed two Years after the Condemnation of Acacius by Foelix; that is to say, in 486. It contains an Abridgment of what passed in the Cause of * 1.1 Acacius, from his Condemnation to Acacius's. The things related in it are done very exactly, and in few Words. It discovers a great number of particular Circumstances, which we can find no where else: We may there see the Troubles with which the Church was vexed for 40 Years together, and the frequent Revolutions which happened to the great Sees of the Ea∣stern Churches, and many other accidents, which it would have been hard to have picked up, if we had not an Author of that time, who hath related them distinctly. It is not certainly known, who composed this Memoir. F. Sirmondus found it in a MS. with S. Leo's Letters. It was with∣out all doubt composed by the Order of this Pope.

Notes

* 1.1

The Au∣thor of the Me∣moir.
