INTRODUCTION
Until 1853 the narae of John of Ephesus
was hardly known except fromso-called
scattered
references in
extracts from
the
Dionysius and other
rd part of his Eccleauthors published by Assemani; but in that year the 3
siastical
HistoryJ.
was published
at
Oxford by
W.
Cureton, and this was soonv.
followed by
P. N. Land's
pamphlet Johannes Bischof1856).In
Ephesos der J stB syr-
ischer Kirchenhistoriker (Leiden,
1860 an English translation ofin
Cureton's text
was publishedJ.
at
Oxford by R. Payne Smith, andat2'" 1
1862 a
Germande
translation by
M. Schnfelder
Munich. Finally the Commentariipart of theEcclesiastical
Beatis Orientalibas
and fragments of theII
History appeared in tom.
of Land's Anecdota Syriaca at Leiden in 1868,
and a Latin translation of the same by van Douwen and Land was publishedat
Amsterdam
in 18S9.
Since that time however two works have appeared
which are invaluable

purpose of enabling us to Supplement John'snd
