Histoire de Théodose le Grand - Fléchier, Esprit 1632-1710 (Paris Mabre-Cramoisy, 1679)
Esprit Fléchier (1632-1710) was a French preacher and author, Bishop of Nîmes from 1687 to 1710.
Theodosius I (347-395), also called Theodosius the Great, was Roman emperor from 379 to 395. During his reign, he succeeded in a crucial war against the Goths, as well as in two civil wars, and was instrumental in establishing the creed of Nicaea as the orthodox doctrine for Christianity. Theodosius was the last emperor to rule the entire Roman Empire before its administration was permanently split between two separate courts (one western, the other eastern).
