For the first time in more than forty years this volume offers a complete critical edition of the literary writings (as far as they have been handed down to us in complete form) by Julian the Apostate from the times when he was sole emperor of the Late Roman Empire (361-363 AD). The Latin preface gives an introduction into the transmission of Julian's texts and sets out the principles of the edition; the text itself is accompanied by an apparatus criticus (presenting the textual variants and all important conjectures made so far for the improvement of the text) as well as by an apparatus testimoniorum (documenting both Julian's quotations from and allusions to earlier literature and quotations of his texts in later literature, as far as these quotations may be important for the constitution of the text).
