Note 001
The errors and virtues of the Paulicians are
weighed, with his usual judgment and candor, by the learned
Mosheim, (Hist. Ecclesiast. seculum ix. p. 311, &c.) He
draws his original intelligence from Photius (contra
Manichaeos, l. i.) and Peter Siculus, (Hist. Manichaeorum.)
The first of these accounts has not fallen into my hands;
the second, which Mosheim prefers, I have read in a Latin
version inserted in the Maxima Bibliotheca Patrum, (tom.
xvi. p. 754 - 764,) from the edition of the Jesuit Raderus,
(Ingolstadii, 1604, in 4to.)
Note by the Rev. H.H. Milman, written 1782, revised 1845
Compare Hallam's Middle Ages, p. 461 - 471. Mr.
Hallam justly observes that this chapter
"appears to be
accurate as well as luminous, and is at least far superior
to any modern work on the subject."
