Maria Sherwood-Smith gives an introduction to the sources and transmission of the Latin work before investigating its reception in detail in two thirteenth-century German works, the \u003cem\u003eSchwarzw lder Predigten\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eWeltchronik \u003c\/em\u003eof Rudolf von Ems.

Looking in this way at the different functions the work fulfils for later authors, one discerns a growing awareness of the distinction between it and the text of the Bible. It is suggested that this enhances the \u003cem\u003eHistoria Scholastica's \u003c\/em\u003ereputation as a safeguard of orthodoxy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e C.
