[Footnote 79: The general history, from the council of
Chalcedon to the death of Anastasius, may be found in the
Breviary of Liberatus, (c. 14 - 19,) the iid and iiid books
of Evagrius, the abstract of the two books of Theodore the
Reader, the Acts of the Synods, and the Epistles of the
Pope, (Concil. tom. v.) The series is continued with some
disorder in the xvth and xvith tomes of the Memoires
Ecclesiastiques of Tillemont. And here I must take leave
forever of that incomparable guide - whose bigotry is
overbalanced by the merits of erudition, diligence,
veracity, and scrupulous minuteness. He was prevented by
death from completing, as he designed, the vith century of
the church and empire.]
