Edvard Gibon (engl. Edward Gibbon) Patni, kod Londona, 27. april 1737[1] — London, 16. januar 1794) je britanski istoričar i pisac.[2][3]

Edvard Gibon je bio naklonjen umjetničkom doživljavanju istorije. Bio je sjajan stilist i veoma je utjecao na razvoj vizantologije. Njegovo znamenito djelo je Opadanje i propast Rimskog carstva, objavljeno u 6 svezaka u periodu 1776 — 1788. U njemu izlaže da je hrišćanstvo bilo osnovni uzrok propasti Rimskog carstva. Zbog toga je bio kritikovan. E. Gibbon je često putovao. Inspiraciju za svoje djelo dobio je nakon posjete Rimu 1764. Njegova knjiga još uvijek predstavlja remek-djelo istoriografije.[3]

Život i djelo[уреди | уреди извор]

Rodio se u imućnoj porodici, bio je slabog zdravlja i već u sedmoj godini je izgubio majku. Godine 1752. otišao je da studira na Oksford, gdje je neverovatno mnogo pročitao i pod uticajem francuskih jezuita i bosueta pristupio 1753. na katolicizam. To je prouzrokovalo skandal morao je da napusti Oksford i otac ga je poslao u Švajcarsku u Lozanu kod kalvinističkog sveštenika koji ga je nagovorio na povratak ka protestantismu. U stvari sa hrišćenstvom je sasvim raskrstio i spadao je u njegove velike kritičare. U Švajcarskoj je opet mnogo čitao i to uglavnom francuske i latinske autore i susreo se sa francuskim racionalizmom. Vraća se u Englesku.

Posvetio se starovekovnom Rimskom carstvu. 1776. godine je izašao prvi deo "Propadanja i pada Rimske imperije" koji je izazvao polemike i senzaciju. Do 1778. godine je izašlo 6 svezaka knjige i postao je slavan. Neko vreme je živeo ponovo u Švajcarskoj i posle povratka u Englesku umire.

  1. ^ O.S. 27 April. Gibbon's birthday is 27 April 1737 of the old style (O.S.) Julian calendar; England adopted the new style (N.S.) Gregorian calendar in 1752, and thereafter Gibbon's birthday was celebrated on 8 May 1737 N.S.
  2. ^ The most recent and also the first critical edition, in three volumes, is that of David Womersley. For commentary on Gibbon's irony and insistence on primary sources whenever available, see Womersley, "Introduction". While the larger part of Gibbon's caustic view of Christianity is declared within the text of chapters XV and XVI, Gibbon rarely neglects to note its baleful influence throughout the remaining volumes of the Decline and Fall.
