These scholia were likely added by later editors or commentators, and provide valuable insights into the historical and theological context of Evagrius' work.Overall, The Ecclesiastical History of Evagrius: With the Scholia (1898) is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Church history, providing a detailed and nuanced account of the development of Christianity in the late Roman and early Byzantine periods.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
