Epigraph

Dedication

First words

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
This work sets out to present to a wider audience material which is usually difficult to find because of the specialized character of the books which deal with it.

The term 'Introduction', Greek eisagōgē, Latin introductio, was used for the first time by the Antiochene monk Adrianus, who died about AD 440.
