Die Besch¤ftigung mit dem fr¼hen Christentum brachte ihn 1753 zum Katholizismus, woraufhin er vom College ausgeschlossen wurde. Sein Vater schickte ihn nach Lausanne und gab ihn in die Obhut eines calvinistischen Pastors, der ihn bis Ende 1754 wieder mit dem Protestantismus vers¶hnt hatte.

Edward Gibbon April 27 O.S. May 8 N.S. ... January 16 ) was arguably the most influential historian since the time of Tacitus . His magnum opus, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire , first published in , is a groundbreaking work whose influence endures to this day.
Life
Gibbon was born in Putney then a town by the river Thames , near London England . His grandfather had made and lost the family fortune in the South Sea Bubble . Gibbon was the only child, and he described himself as "a weakly child" in his memoirs. After his mother died while he was 10 years old, he attended Kingston Grammar School , and stayed at the boarding house of his favorite "Aunt Kitty". At the age of 14, he was sent away by his father to Magdalen College at the University of Oxford , where he enrolled as a gentleman-commoner. Gibbon was ill-suited to the college atmosphere, and the most memorable event of his time there was his conversion to Roman Catholicism on June 8 . Religious controversies raged on the Oxford campus, and while their intellectual standards were sometimes described as bleak, obsolete, and barren, the 16 year-old Gibbon was not immune to this controversial religious trend and he later remarked, with his flair for sarcastic understatement, "from my childhood, I had been fond of religious disputation". Within weeks of his conversion, the elder Gibbon removed the younger from Oxford, and sent him to M. Pavilliard, a Calvinist pastor and private tutor in Lausanne Switzerland , where he remained for five years, a time which would have a profound impact upon Gibbon's later character and life. He quickly reconverted back to

Edward Gibbon
From LoveToKnow 1911
EDWARD GIBBON (1737-1794), English historian, was descended, he tells us in his autobiography, from a Kentish family of considerable antiquity; among his remoter ancestors he reckons the lord high treasurer Fiennes, Lord Say and Sele, whom Shakespeare has immortalized in his Henry VI His grandfather was a man of ability, an enterprising merchant of London , one of the commissioners of customs under the Tory ministry during the last four years of Queen Anne, and, in the judgment of Lord Bolingbroke, as deeply versed in the " commerce and finances of England " as any man of his time. He was not always wise, however, either for himself or his country; for he became deeply involved in the South Sea wreck of his estate, and with this his skill and enterprise soon constructed a second fortune. He died at Putney in 1736, leaving the bulk of his property to his two daughters - nearly disinheriting his only son, the father of the historian, for having married against his wishes. This son (by name Edward) was educated at Westminster ' and Cambridge, but never took a degree, travelled, became member of parliament, first for
