Like other volumes in theseriesWegederForschung,this one resurrectsmanymeritoriousand sometimes inaccessiblepublicationsfrompastscholarship.HousepolicydictatesthatallpiecesmustappearinGerman,with theunfortunate resultthatscholarswhosenativelanguageisItalian,French,orEnglishmust read thewritingsoftheircompatriotsin transla-tion.

Itisgoodtohave Kent'simportantarticle onthe Julianiccoinageavailablehere,butitscarcelyneededto beputintoGerman. On the otherhand,animmenselyvaluable contributiononJulianandtheJews byH.J.Lewy-atthispointinthehistoryof Julianicresearch far more worthhav-ingthan Adler'spiecefrom 1893-hasbeenomitted.Lewy'swork isavailableonlyin modern Hebrew(inhis 'OlamotNifgashim),and accord-inglya German translationwouldhave beenhighlydesirable. Instead wehave Adler's excellent but ancientstudy laboriouslyturned into Germanandprintedwith extensivequotationsinHebrew that is untranslated.This makes nosenseat all.
