2 editions published in 2002 in Latin and English and held by 124 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Ælfric wrote the first grammar in a European vernacular, using as his source the "Excerptiones de Prisciano", selections from major curriculum authors of the medieval schools, including Donatus, Isidore and Priscian himself. The 10th cent. text, is a compendium of grammatical lore, the most sophisticated Latin-learning text of the Anglo-Saxon age.

Answers to King Khosroes of Persia by
Priscian(
Book
)
4 editions published between 2016 and 2020 in English and held by 93 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Priscian of Lydia was one of the Athenian philosophers who took refuge in 531 AD with King Khosroes I of Persia, after the Christian Emperor Justinian stopped the teaching of the pagan Neoplatonist school in Athens. This was one of the earliest examples of the sixth-century diffusion of the philosophy of the commentators to other cultures. Tantalisingly, Priscian fully recorded in Greek the answers provided by the Athenian philosophers to the king's questions on philosophy and science. But these answers survive only in a later Latin translation which understood both the Greek and the subject matter very poorly. Our translators have often had to reconstruct from the Latin what the Greek would have been, in order to recover the original sense. The answers start with subjects close to the Athenians' hearts: the human soul, on which Priscian was an expert, and sleep and visions. But their interest may have diminished when the king sought their expertise on matters of physical science: the seasons, celestial zones, medical effects of heat and cold, the tides, displacement of the four elements, the effect of regions on living things, why only reptiles are poisonous, and winds. At any rate, in 532 AD, they moved on from the palace, but still under Khosroes' protection. This is the first translation of the record they left into English or any modern language. This English translation is accompanied by an introduction and comprehensive commentary notes, which clarify and discuss the meaning and implications of the original philosophy. Part of the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle series, the edition makes this philosophical work accessible to a modern readership and includes additional scholarly apparatus such as a bibliography, glossary of translated terms and a subject index"--

Dieser Band eröffnet, mehr als anderthalb Jahrhunderte nach der Ausgabe von Martin Hertz in den Grammatici Latini (II-III 377), die neue kritische Edition der monumentalen Ars Priscians aus dem mauretanischen Cäsarea, des umfangreichsten und vielschichtigsten grammatikalischen Werks, das aus der griechisch-römischen Antike überliefert ist. Es wurde im Jahre 526-527 in Konstantinopel von einem Schüler des Grammatikers abgeschrieben, bevor der Text, insbesondere dessen letzte Teile, in endgültiger Form ausgearbeitet war. Auf ungewöhnliche Weise, und zwar aus den von Michela Rosellini im Vorwort und in der Einleitung erläuterten Gründen, beginnt die Publikation mit dem Schluss des Werks, einem sehr reichhaltigen Anhang syntaktischer Beobachtungen, die in Form eines griechisch-lateinischen Lexikons abgefasst sind (GL III 278-377). Die kritische Edition basiert auf einer umfassenden Bewertung der schier endlosen handschriftlichen Überlieferung, für die erstmals die Rekonstruktion eines Stammbaums vorgeschlagen wird, der es gestattet, den Variantenapparat, der die Ausgabe von Hertz schwerfällig machte, sehr beträchtlich zu vereinfachen, Basis der Edition ist ferner eine gründlichere Analyse der Art und Weise, wie der Grammatiker mit der Neubearbeitung und der Komposition verfuhr; der Text wird außerdem durch einen vollständigeren Apparat der loci similes bereichert, der auf die griechischen grammatikalischen und lexikographischen Quellen ausgedehnt wurde. Con questo volume prende avvio, a distanza di più di un secolo e mezzo dalla precedente edizione di Martin Hertz nei Grammatici Latini (II-III 377), la nuova edizione critica della monumentale Ars di Prisciano di Cesarea, la più estesa e complessa opera grammaticale trasmessa dall'antichità greco-latina, trascritta a Costantinopoli nel 526-527 da un allievo del grammatico quando il testo, specie nelle ultime parti, si trovava in uno stato di elaborazione ancora provvisorio. Con procedimento singolare, per i motivi illustrati da Michela Rosellini nella Premessa e nell'Introduzione, la pubblicazione inizia dalla parte finale dell'opera, costituita da una molto ampia appendice di osservazioni sintattiche redatte in forma di lessico greco-latino (GL III 278-377). L'edizione critica si fonda su un'ampia valutazione della sterminata tradizione manoscritta, di cui per la prima volta viene proposta una ricostruzione genealogica che permette di semplificare, in modo molto consistente, l'apparato di varianti che appesantiva l'edizione di Hertz, e su una più approfondita analisi delle modalità di rielaborazione e di composizione adottate dal grammatico; il testo è inoltre arricchito da un più completo apparato di loci similes, esteso alle fonti grammaticali e lessicografiche greche
