Iulianus Apostata. Ἰουλιανοῦ Αὐτοκράτορος Τὰ Σωζόμενα καὶ τοῦ ἐν Ἁγίοις Κυρίλλου ἀρχιεπισκόπου Ἀλεξανδρείας πρὸς τὰ τοῦ ἐν ἀθέοις Ἰουλιανοῦ λόγοι δέκα... Accedumt Dionysii Petavii in Iulianum Notae... Ezechiel Spanhemius... recensuit..., Leipzig, sumptibu
Third edition of the emperor Julian’s Sozomena, following the editio princeps of 1583. It is a volume of miscellany with the comments of such as the Archbishop of Alexandria Cyril on Julian’s works. The Byzantine emperor’s remnants comprise a number of letters, of both apological as well as satirical character, crowned by the diatribe against the Christians entitled Against the Galileans. Christian writers paid him back in his own coin, that is to say with anathemas. Julian’s name and works recovered in the era of Enlightenment, as may be seen in Voltaire’s Dictionnaire philosophique.
