Excerpt from The Works of the Emperor Julian, Vol. 2 of 2: And Some Pieces of the Sophist Libanius

Of the Epiftles of julian, the nine firft were printed in Greek, with other Epifiles by various hands, by Aldus, Rom. 1499, 4to. And afterwards in Greek and Latin, at Geneva, 1606, folio. The xth was preferved by Socrates in his Hiftory, III. 3. The xrth, and thofe that follow, as far as the xlviitll, were in like manner publiihed among the Epiftles of various writers. The xmxth was taken from Sozomen, v. 16. The Lth, et, and Lud were firft pubhihed 1n Greek by Peter Martinius, together with the M1f0pogon, and the other Epifiles, illufirated by a Latin tranflation, Paris, 1567 and 1583, 8vo. Petau there fore firft tranflated thofe three, and alfo the liiid, and the following, as far as the lvc, which, together with the Epiftle of Gallus to julian, Bonaventure Vulcanius pub lifhed at Leyden, 1597, rzmo. At the end of the Epiflles and Problems of Theophylaétus Simocatta. The Lvurth and eth, but doubtfully blended together, were hit publilhed by Nicholas Rigalt,. Who alfo added a tranflation, at the end of his sus Parafiticum, Paris, 1601, 4to. But in the edition of_petau, by the advice of Rigalt himfelf, it was dmded into two, both mutilated, the former having no conelufion, and the latter no beginning. At length the former was fupplied from a ms. By the learned and ingenious Lewis Anthony Muratori, in his cdota eca, Padua, 1709, 4to. The t11 and the two following were firft publifhed by Petau, from a copy of an old ms. Lent him by Patricius junius. The iud, which Martinius and Petau have given in Greek only, but very imperfeéi: and incorreei, Ezekiel Spanheim amended and fupplied from the ms. Of Allatius, and firit added a Latin verfion. Muratori has alfo publifhed three other Epifiles of Julian, the tvth, vth, and vrth, from the fame ms.
