I will not assess it as a “great” book. Rather I will consider it as an “intimate” book. By this I mean a book that has something personal to say to us today. ” For me personally Gibbon’s book has an especially intimate significance.

German scholars have indeed pressed this “Quellenkunde” further than it can safely be pressed. A philologist, writing his doctoral dissertation, will bring plausible reasons to prove where exactly Diodorus ceased to “write out” Ephorus, whose work we do not possess, and began to write out somebody else, whose work is also lost to us. But, though the method lends itself to the multiplication of vain subtleties, it is absolutely indispensable for scientific historiography. It is in fact part of the science of evidence.
