Abstract

THE LESBOS MANUSCRIPT OF CHRYSOSTOM'S DE INANI GLORIA BY M. L. W. LAISTNER John Chrysostom's address or treatise, entitled "On vainglory and the right way for parents to bring up their children", if one may judge by the scarcity of manuscripts that contain it, did not enjoy any great popularity in the Middle Ages. Neither Fronton du Duc nor Henry Savile was familiar with it, since it is not included in their respective editions of Chrysostom's works; and so it remained forgotten until 1656 when the Dominican, Francois Combefis, published the editio princeps. He added a Latin version which was reprinted by itself more than once. Some additional publicity was given to the address when John Evelyn, the diarist, in 1659 anonymously brought out an English translation; but he omitted the first sixteen paragraphs on vainglory. 1 Several in- fluential scholars, however, refused to accept the address as a genuine work, notably Bernard lklontfaucon who excluded it from his collected edition of the Greek Father.
