William Heinemann (London) and The Macmillan Co. (New York)
Year
1912
Revision
Transcribed from the OCR of the dated scan, English recto pages only. CHAPTERS 10-14 ARE LAKE'S TRANSLATION FROM THE LATIN, NOT THE GREEK: the Greek manuscripts break off at 9.2 (Lake prints "Here G breaks off, but the rest of the sentence is given by L Eus."), and from chapter X the facing page of this edition is the Latin version of the Corpus Ignatianum. Chapters 1-9 are from the Greek. The prefatory greeting carries no verse number in the printed edition and is stored as the unnumbered prescript rather than as 1:1.
