[35] Philostratus de Vita Apollonii Tyanei Libri Octo, tr. by
A. Rinuccinus, and Eusebius contra Hieroclem, tr. by Z.
Acciolus (Venice; 1501-04, fol.). Rinucci’s translation was
improved by Beroaldus and printed at Lyons (1504?), and again
at Cologne, 1534.
[36] F. Baldelli, Filostrato Lemnio della Vita di Apollonio
Tianeo (Florence; 1549, 8vo).
[37] B. de Vignère, Philostrate de la Vie d’Apollonius (Paris;
1596, 1599, 1611). Blaise de Vignère’s translation was
subsequently corrected by Frédéric Morel and later by Thomas
Artus, Sieur d’Embry, with bombastic notes in which he bitterly
attacks the wonder-workings of Apollonius. A French translation
was also made by Th. Sibilet about 1560, but never published;
the MS. was in the Bibliothèque Imperiale. See Miller, Journal
des Savants, 1849, p. 625, quoted by Chassang, op. infr. cit.,
p. iv.
[38] F. Morellus, Philostrati Lemnii Opera, Gr. and Lat.
(Paris; 1608).
[39] G. Olearius, Philostratorum quæ supersunt Omnia, Gr. and
Lat. (Leipzig; 1709).
[40] C. L. Kayser, Flavii Philostrati quæ supersunt, etc.
(Zurich; 1844, 4to). In 1849 A. Westermann also edited a text,
Philostratorum et Callistrati Opera, in Didot’s “Scriptorum
Græcorum Bibliotheca” (Paris; 1849, 8vo). But Kayser brought
out a new edition in 1853 (?), and again a third, with
additional information in the Preface, in the “Bibliotheca
Teubneriana” (Leipzig; 1870).
[41] For a general summary of opinions prior to 1807, of
writers who mention Apollonius incidentally, see Legrand
d’Aussy, op. cit., ii. pp. 313-327.
[42] L’Histoire d’Apollone de Tyane convaincue de Fausseté et
d’Imposture (Paris; 1705).
[43] An Account of the Life of Apollonius Tyaneus (London;
1702), tr. out of the French, from vol. ii. of Lenain de
Tillemont’s Histoire des Empereurs (2nd ed., Paris; 1720): to
which is added Some Observations upon Apollonius. De
Tillemont’s view is that Apollonius was sent by the Devil to
destroy the work of the Saviour.
[44] A Critical and Historical Discourse upon the Method of the
Principal Authors who wrote for and against Christianity from
its Beginning (London; 1739), tr. from the French of M. l’Abbé
Houtteville; to which is added a “Dessertation on the Life of
Apollonius Tyanæus, with some Observations on the Platonists of
the Latter School,” pp. 213-254.

Lojolæ tribuuntur Libellus (Draci; 1734).
