PREFACE
Tatian's Discourse to the Greeks is ill-organized, digressive and often
obscure. In addition, its text derives from a single manuscript — the codex
Arethae Parisinus gr. 451, dated A. D. 913 — 914 (= A). Now, the portion
of A comprising Tatian is lost, and we have to rely on three old apographs
of A — M VP. They attest to the fact that the text of Tatian was heavily
lacunose and corrupt already in A.
Back in 1888, Eduard Schwartz, greatly assisted by Wilamowitz, pre-
pared a first critical edition of the Oratio. Unfortunately, Schwartz and
Wilamowitz have not gone the full distance (that is why Schwartz was
forced to disavow his own emendations in the Preface, pp. VII —IX).
The present edition picks up where Schwartz and Wilamowitz had left
off. Under the circumstances, I am confident that the reader is now
provided with a reasonably reliable text (thanks to a Quellenforschung of
Tatian, in the first place).
The edition is dedicated to the memory of my teacher at the University
of Belgrade (1937-1942), VESSELIN TCHAIKANOVITCH (1881 —
1946), a great scholar in comparative religion.
