BEING AN OUTLINE OF THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH FROM A.D. 461 TO A.D. 1003 BY THE REV. WILLIAM HOLDEN HUTTON, B.D. FELLOW AND TUTOR OF S. JOHN BAPTIST COLLEGE, OXFORD EXAMINING CHAPLAIN TO THE BISHOP OF ROCHESTER RIVINGTONS 34 KING STREET, COVENT GARDEN LONDON 1906 EDITORIAL NOTE While there is a general agreement among the writers as to principles, the greatest freedom as to treatment is allowed to writers in this series. The volumes, for example, will not be of the same length. Volume II., which deals with the formative period of the Church, is, not unnaturally, longer in proportion than the others. To Volume VI., which deals with the Reformation, will be allotted a similar extension. The authors, again, use their own discretion in such matters as footnotes and lists of authorities. But the aim of the series, which each writer sets before him, is to tell, clearly and accurately, the story of the Church, as a divine institution with a continuous life. W. H. HUTTON PREFACE It has seemed to me impossible to deal with the long period covered by this volume as briefly as the scheme of the series required without leaving out a great many events and concentrating attention chiefly upon a few central facts and a few important personages. I think that the main results of the development may thus be seen, though there is much which is here omitted that would have been included had the book been written on other lines. Some pages find place here which originally appeared in The Guardian and The Treasury , and a few lines which once formed part of an article in The Church Quarterly Review . My thanks are due for the courtesy of the Editors. I have reprinted some passages from my Church of the Sixth Century , a book which is now out of print and not likely to be reissued. I have to thank the Rev. L. Pullan for help from his wide knowledge, and Mr. L. Strachan, of Heidelberg, of whose accuracy and learning I have had long experience, for reading the proofs and making the index. W. H. H. S. JOHN'S COLLEGE, OXFORD, Septuagesima , 1906.
