sunting

Edward Gibbon lahir pada 1737, sebagai putra dari Edward dan Judith Gibbon di Lime Grove, kota Putney, Surrey. Ia memiliki enam saudara: lima saudara dan satu saudari, yang semunya meninggal saat bayi. Kakeknya, yang juga bernama Edward, kehilangan seluruh asetnya sebagai hasil dari runtuhnya pasar saham South Sea Bubble pada 1720, namun kemudian kembali meraih kekayaan, sehingga ayah Gibbon mewarisi sebuah estate substansial.[4]

  1. ^ O.S. 27 April
  2. ^ Hari kelahiran Gibbon adalah 27 April 1737 dari kalender Julian; Inggris mengadopsi kalender Gregorian pada 1752, dan setelah itu, hari kelahiran Gibbon dirayakan pada 8 Mei 1737
  3. ^ 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.
