It is true that the imperfect state of the Greek text, and the difficulty of geographical identification, have always been appalling obstacles; yet, after the acute and valuable labours of Gossellin, Du Theil, Groskurd, and especially of Gustav Cramer of Berlin, (whose text is followed in the present volume,) we might fairly have expected that some English scholar would have ventured to enter the field. But the task, like many in a similar position, has been reserved for the publisher of the Classical Library, and he trusts it will be found conscientiously fulfilled. The translation was, in the first instance, intrusted to Mr. This is all it seems necessary to state here.

In such a case, a viable scholarly alternative to producing a critical edition is to offer access to a modified diplomatic edition of a complete collection of lessons. Such an edition will provide scholars with an instrument for further studies in various fields of medieval research as the Latin language and literature, biblical exegesis, liturgy, theology, hagiography, the history of ideas, and Latin translations of Greek texts.
