Perhaps you, benevolent reader, will be surprised that, while in all the previous—as well as those that will follow—vols. 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 merely alongside the Greek page. The cause for this, and indeed the only one, is that before we had conceived the plan of compiling the entire tradition of the holy Greek Fathers of the Church, we had already, fifteen years ago, published separately the Works of St. John Chrysostom in Latin only, and had committed them to permanent type. Since the matter stood thus, and it was neither in our power to move the permanent type, nor in our intention of this edition to destroy nine volumes purely in Latin which had already been entirely committed to permanent type and had cost more than sixty thousand francs, we luckily found this method—not, however, without effort and expense—of adapting them to this new edition, which thus emerges enriched with both the Greek and Latin languages.
