About this book
The fifth volume of Edward Gibbon's classic historical work traces the continued decline of the Roman Empire, with annotations by Henry Hart Milman. It would suit students of Roman history, classical scholars, and general readers interested in the fall of Rome. Note: The metadata provided contains likely errors—Gibbon's work was first published in the 1770s–1780s (2008 is probably a reprint date), and the subject area is history, not devotional. I've described the book based on established knowledge of this well-known work rather than the questionable metadata fields.

Edward Gibbon

Edward Gibbon was a British essayist, historian and politician. His most important and influential work, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, was published in six volumes between 1776 and 1789, to critical and commercial success. It is known for the quality and irony of its prose, its use of primary sources, and its polemical criticism of organised religion.
