The autobiographical poems of Gregory of Nazianzus, fourth-century Father of the Greek Church, are remarkable not only for a highly individual picture of the Byzantine world but also for moments that are intimate, passionate and moving. This book contains Greek text and facing English translation of a selection from his one hundred or so surviving poems. Gregory is best known for the five orations he gave in Constantinople. Except for the poem "De Vita Sua," his work can only be read in a nineteenth-century edition and has never before been translated into English.四世纪希腊教会之父、纳齐安祖斯的格雷戈里的自传体诗不仅以高度个人化的拜占庭世界形象著称，而且以亲密、激情和感人的时刻著称。这本书包含了希腊文文本和他一百多首幸存诗作的英译本。格雷戈里最出名的是他在君士坦丁堡发表的五次演讲。除了诗作《苏亚德维塔》外，他的作品只能在十九世纪的版本中阅读，而且从未被翻译成英语。
