The only two volumes published of the original projected five-volume set, edited by German classical philologist Kurt Latte (d. 1964). A significant work of Greek philology. 'A textual base which meets modern standards was not established before Kurt Latte's epoch-making edition, based on a new collation of the sole existing ms. together (for the first time) with the parallel base of what is known as the Cyrillus Glossary (Vol. 1: Alpha-Delta 1953, Vol. 2: Epsilon-Omikron postum 1966). The continuation of Latte's edition was commissioned by the Royal Danish Academy and undertaken by Peter Allan Hansen; the edition will be completed by Ian C. Cunningham. A 5th volume with indexes and addenda to vols. 1-4 is in the planning stage' (de Gruyter). A scarce set.
