About the editions

These editions relate to the same work by Cyril. We have not verified that the English translations use this particular Greek edition from 1766, or that their contents match exactly. The Greek edition is a historical Greek rendering.

The two Oxford scans contain the same English translation in different copies. They are not consecutive parts. Page counts cover the whole PDF; the Fathers collection also includes works by Gregory of Nazianzus.
