Julian, Emperor of Rome
Speeches, addresses, etc., Greek -- Translations into English
The _Vossianus_ (V), Leyden, 13th or 14th cent. (contains also the
_Letters_ of Libanius), is the only reliable MS. of Julian, and was once
complete except for a few _Letters_. Where pages are lost from V a group
of inferior MSS. are used, _Marcianus_ 366 (M), 251 (Mb), both 15th cent.,
five _Monacenses_ (at Munich), and several _Parisini_ (at Paris). Cobet’s
contributions to the text are in _Mnemosyne_ 8, 9, 10 (old series
1859‐1861) and 10, 11 (new series 1882‐1883). A. Papadoulos Kerameus
published in _Rheinisches Museum_, 1887, six new _Letters_ discovered on
the island of Chalcis.
