7 This arrangement is based upon the view that there was a second session of the Council of Nicaea meeting late in 327; it is to be noted that Gustave Bardy still thinks that this hypothesis ‘se heurte à des véritables impossibilités; see his articles ‘La politique religieuse de Constantin après le concile de Nicée’ Revue des sciences religieuses 8 (1928), pp. 516–551CrossRefGoogle Scholar; ‘Sur la réiteration du concile de Nicée (327’), ibid. 23 (1933), pp. 430–450, and cf. his book Recherches sur Saint Lucien d'Antioche et son école, Paris, Beauchesne, 1936, pp. 311 ff.Google Scholar It is not easy to agree with Bardy's statement on p. 312: ‘Nous sommes d'ailleurs trop bien renseignés sur la suite de faits entre 325 et 330 pour pouvoir y placer un concile aussi important que l'aurait été une réiteration du concile de Nicée.’ We might have said the same, with greater excuse, of the Council of Antioch which, it is now generally agreed, met shortly before the Council of Nicaea. For the view that there was no second meeting of the Council see also Basile C.

9 De Sancti Athanasii quae fertur Contra Gentes oratione. He argued that since ‘Athanasius’ had drawn upon the Theophaneia, and the Theophaneia of Eusebius depends upon the tenth book of the Church History, the apology must therefore be dated after A.D. 325.
