Summary "Storia della decadenza e rovina dell'impero romano, volume 11" by Edward Gibbon is a historical account written in the late 18th century. This volume analyzes the developments within the Christian church and various sects, particularly focusing on the Paoliziani, their doctrines, and the persecution they faced under various Greek emperors. The work scrutinizes how theological disputes and the rise of different sects contributed to the decline of the Roman Empire. At the start of this volume, Gibbon delves into the origins and beliefs of the Paoliziani, a sect that emerged as a response to the pressures and corruption of the established church. The narrative discusses their migration, persecution, and eventual rebellion, highlighting their theological views that diverged from mainstream Christianity. Gibbon emphasizes the impact of these sectarian movements on the broader Christian doctrine and remarks on the adaptive nature of Christianity as it spread across different cultures and societies. He sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how internal conflicts and rivalries played a significant role in the downfall of the once-mighty Roman Empire.
