| Dec 29, 2019 at 9:53 | comment | added | Lucian | The quote in question was initially part of an Epilogue to his Seventh Book of History, which was then followed by an Eighth Book, containing three of his Letters; then by a Ninth Book of Miracles, taken from Bede; and by a Tenth Book, ending in a line introducing an Eleventh Book, itself followed by what appears to be just that. Modern scholarship, however, seems to have discarded the portions between the Seventh and Tenth Books as insertions, renumbering the latter as the Eighth, and regarding the Eleventh Book as the work of a later author. | |
