Autor

Henry Hart Milman (1791-1868) was an English historian and ecclesiastic known for his contributions to literature and religious history. Born in London, Milman showed early academic prowess, winning prizes and earning fellowships at Oxford University. He served as a parish priest, professor of poetry at Oxford, and delivered influential lectures on Christianity. In 1835, he became the Rector of St Margaret's, Westminster, and later the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral. Milman's literary achievements include writing poetry, such as his tragedy "Fazio" and epic poems like "The Fall of Jerusalem" and "The Martyr of Antioch." He also translated works from classical authors like Aeschylus and Euripides. Milman's historical works, including "History of the Jews" and "History of Latin Christianity," gained recognition for their analytical approach and objective treatment of religious topics. His contributions to literature and history continue to be valued today.
