To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Young girls and old men were cruelly tortured. " It is you who are the cannibals ! " cried one of the victims to the judges. To combat these recur- rent accusations, a literature grew up, first in Greek, then in Latin, several specimens of which have come down to us. The most interesting, the Apology, written in Africa by TertuUian about A.D. 200, was shortly afterwards translated into Greek. 16. There was also a literature hostile to Christianity, but it has perished almost entirely. It has, h...owever, been possible to ■ reconstitute the True Discourse of the philosopher Celsus (c. 170) from the long refutation of it composed by Origen, and a portion of the Emperor Julian's treatise against the Christians, thanks to the diatribe of St. Cyril (d. 444) which it inspired. 17. The ten persecutions enumerated by historians of Christianity are a fiction,^ and Dodwell in the eighteenth century already made short work of the legends which ex- aggerated the number of martyrs. This name, which means witness in Greek, was given to those who proclaimed their faith in the face of suffering.
