Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Photius was a ninth-century patriarch of Constantinople who
compiled summaries of 280 books he had read, known at the
Bibliotheca. It deals with Attic, Hellenistic, Roman imperial and
Byzantine sources, about half of which are now lost. Here Nigel
Wilson presents an annotated edition in translation of a wide
selection from these book reviews, with the aim of revealing the
breadth of Photius' interests.
This work, first published in 1822, was edited by Peter Paul Dobree
(1782 1825) who had been entrusted with the literary remains of the
eminent classical scholar Richard Porson (1759 1808). It contains
the text of a ninth-century Greek lexicon compiled by Photius,
Patriarch of Constantinople. The lexicon was a tool for Byzantine
Greeks studying the works of ancient authors, whose language and
vocabulary differed significantly from the day-to-day language
spoken in the Byzantine Empire. The lexicon offers the modern
scholar a wealth of information regarding ancient works that
Photius had access to but are no longer extant. The edition is
based on a transcription, made by Porson, of the only remaining
manuscript of the lexicon: Codex Galeanus, in Trinity College
Library, Cambridge. Volume 2 contains entries for the letters pi to
omega. The edition has served as an important source for the study
of Byzantine lexicography.
