1 The first volume of the Philosophica minora, edd. J. M. Duffy and D. J. O'Meara, has been prepared but not yet published; it is not clear if a second volume of the Theologica is planned.

4 The proof correcting has been very well done: the misprints are minimal, e.g. in the Philosophica, p. 156, line 28, add a rho to read ⋯⋯ριστον. However, the Index Verborum in the Theologica volume is incomplete (e.g. ⋯σθ⋯νεια 11, 62; ⋯ντωνυμασ⋯α 30, 44; ⋯ντ⋯τυπος 45, 17, 34), and in the Philosophica (i) there is no need to correct Μωσ⋯ως to Μωυσ⋯ως (p. 130, 27, the second form is given only in the 14th cent. Vat. gr. 1026), given that both forms occur in the Theologica; and (ii) the omission of the diaeresis mark over the iota in words like ⋯ïδι⋯της is a little confusing.
