PREFACE
The three Apologies attributed to Justin Martyr which are collected in
this volume — Cohortatio ad Graecos, De monarchia, and Oratio ad Graecos —
have in common the fact that they have been composed somewhere in the
third century A. D. to be pretty soon included into the Corpus Iustini, where
Eusebius found the first two of them before A. D. 311/12. All three are
rich in Apologetic lore, and are not void of theological speculation. What
is more significant, they extensively quote from Greek poetry and prose,
and may serve as an important source for our knowledge of the Judeo-
Christian Greek Pseudepigrapha Veteris Testamenti. •
Nevertheless, none of these treatises has found a critical edition so far.
For their text is very lacunose and corrupt, and the rhetorical style of their
authors is rather precarious. As a consequence, the editor had to walk the
tight rope between the tolerability of an auctor barbarus and the intolerability
of a librarius stupidus. But the result is, I hope, rewarding.
My gratitude to Professor KURT ALAND and the Patristische ¡Commission
for including this volume into the PTS-Series is sincere and lasting.
