Reinhardt Pirngruber, « Christian Thrue Djurslev. “The End of the Persian Empire in Early Christian Writing” », Abstracta Iranica, ID : 10.4000/abstractairanica.53439
C. T. Djurslev discusses the engagement of Christian authors, in particular Jerome, with Persian history. Central points of interest were the place of the Achaemenid Empire in history and the shift power from Persia to Macedon, both in endeavours to reconstruct the chronology of the past, and in more elaborate meta-schemes such as the translatio imperii. Persia’s role in the latter could vary significantly, depending on the individual authors’ agenda.
