Victor of Vita: History of the Vandal Persecution (Liverpool University Press - Translated Texts for Historians)

Among The Peoples Who Occupied The Territories Of The Roman Empire In The West In The Fifth Century, The Vandals Are Notorious For Their Persecution Of The Catholic Inhabitants Of Africa.

But Victor Does Not Merely Provide An Account Of The Activities Of A Persecuting People; His Work Is Revelatory Of The Perspectives Of An African Christianity Which Could Look On The Activities Of The Vandals As Merely One Chapter In A Long History Of Persecution.--book Cover.
