Perhaps you will wonder, benevolent Reader, why, while in all the preceding and following works of the Holy Fathers, including those of St. John Chrysostom, the Latin version accompanies the Greek text column by column, in this our edition of the same holy Doctor, the Latin page is placed only alongside the Greek page. This was the reason, and indeed the only one: that before we had the intention of constructing the entire tradition of the Holy Fathers of the Greek Church, fifteen years ago we had already published the works of St. J. Chrysostom separately in Latin only, and had committed them to permanent type. Since the situation was such that it was neither in our power to move the permanent type, nor in our intention to destroy nine volumes of this purely Latin edition which had already been entirely committed to permanent type and had cost more than sixty thousand francs, we hit upon this fortunate method—though not without labor and expense—of adapting these to this new edition, which is thus enriched with both the Greek and Latin languages.
