Description
Summary:This paper offers an overview of the problem about the quotation of ‘Maximus’ by Eusebius. Certainty is hard to get by regarding this question. We may perhaps conclude that Eusebius knew practically nothing of Maximus and he cannot have been equally ignorant of Methodius’ work. The extract, inserted in Eusebius’ Praeparatio evangelica, has followed an earlier source, which has attributed to Maximus the Methodius’ passage. Probably, Maximus was a Christian author, who wrote writings in which God, matter and free will were central subjects. The article cannot claim to offer the ultimate solution, but it gives good insight in the problems and possible solutions.
