Festal Epistles of S. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The Mss. Thus acquired by Dr. Tattam were consigned to the Library of the British Museum. Among them, Mr. Cureton soon discovered a portion of the Festal Letters of S. Athan'asius, which he committed to the press. This portion, however, included only about one half of that now made public. For the remaining part of the Ms. We are indebted to the exertions of M. Augustus Pacho, a native of Alexandria, who, three or four years later, paid a visit to the same monastery, and succeeded in Obtaining another considerable collection of Syriac 1\/iss. Some of which formed part of the volumes already secured by Dr, Tattam. Such was the case with regard to the Festal Letters of S. Athan. The latter portion thus acquired was likewise printed by Mr. Cureton, and published together with that previously printed, the sequence Of the different parts (which was necessarily broken) being indicated by notes.
