Excerpt from Polychronicon Ranulphi Higden Maonachi Cestrensis, Vol. 4: Together With the English Translations of John Trevisa and of an Unknown Writer of the Fifteenth Century The next king of Egypt whom Higden mentions is Ptolemy Dionysus, l better known as Auletes but he only states the length of his reign. Of his daughter, the famous Cleopatra, somewhat more is said. She is stated to have reigned two years before Caesar, five under Caesar, and fifteen under Augustus. She shared the kingdom with her elder brother Ptolemy, who during his minority was under the protection of Rome. Pompey, eeing to Egypt after his defeat in Thessaly, is killed, according to Higden, by the stratagems of Ptolemy.2 On Caesar's arrival in Egypt, the people of Alexandria entreat his pardon for Ptolemy, who soon requites the grant by a rebellion, in the end of which he perishes,3 and Caesar gives the kingdom to Cleopatra, by whose blandishments he is fascinated. This queen is next mentioned as taking the part of Antonius against Octavianus, a notice of which is repeated at the commencement of the next chapter, together with the story of their defeat and ight after the battle of Actium. A few sentences tell of the death of both Antony and Cleopatra, and the subjection of Egypt to the Romans.

Excerpt from Polychronicon Ranulphi Higden Maonachi Cestrensis, Vol. 5: Together With the English Translations of John Trevisa and of an Unknown Writer of the Fifteenth Century As might be expected, Higden repeats much of the false charges made by early Christian writers against the next emperor Julian, known as the Apostate. He is said to have been a monk, and his conduct is described as very little befitting that character. He was also versed in magic arts, and had familiar spirits at his command, having sold himself to them for the possession of the' emp1re. His abandonment of Christianity is represented as the more gross, inasmuch as several miracles were wrought which should have demonstrated to him the sanctity of the sign Of the Cross. Many insults to Christianity and Christians are ascribed to him, and his permission given to the Jews to rebuild Jerusalem, as one more of these insults, is dwelt upon, and so are the miraculous hindrances thereto, by the demolition at night of all that had been erected by day.1 It is not denied that he was temperate, studious, and learned; but as all heathen writers have extolled this emperor's conduct too highly, so all Christians have degraded him too low. The contests to which he was a witness between the Arians and the orthodox had much to do, we cannot doubt, with his rejection of the Chris tian faith, and his writings bespeak a man who desired to leave the world better than he found it.
