The second book is intended to show that the same God who created spiritual intelligences

also created the holies with which they are united, ami the material world generally; the third vindicates the divine origin of the (Hd Testament ; ami the fourth reiterates some points of the second ami third hooks, and answers the objections ofthe Paulicians. The first hook has several points in common with the historical work of PetrUS Siculus on the same subject, so as to make it probable that one writer u-ed the Work ofthe

other, and it is most likely Photius availed himself of that of Petrus. This important work of Photius was designed lor publication by several scholars (see Wolff, I'm fat. In Anecdot. time. vol. i; and Fabricius, Bibl. Graze, vii. :('-".»: xi. 18), but thej were prevented by death from fulfilling their purpose. Montfaucon pub- lished the first book, with a Latin version, in hi- Bib- liotheca Coisliniana (p. 349, etc.) ; ami the whole work was given by Jo. Christoph. Wolff, with a Latin version ami notes, in his Anecdota drum (Hamb. 1722, 12mo), vols. i. ii. from which it was reprinted in vol. xiii of the Bibliotheca Patrvm ofGalland (Venice, 177'.'. fol.). A sort of epitome of this work of Photius i- found in the Panoplia of Euthymius Zigabenus. Oudin contended that the work of Metrophanes of Smyrna, on the Ma- iiichaans and on the Holy Spirit, was identical with this work of Photius; but this opinion is erroneous.

This work is incorporated in the Greek text of the Panoplia of Euthymius Zigabenus | f/ergovist 1710. fol., p. 112, 113), of which it constitutes the thirteenth rirkog or section. It is omitted in the Latin versions of Euthymius. The work of Photius contains several syllogistic propositions, which are quoted and answered seriatim in the Dt I noun Eoclesiarum Gratia T, of Jo- annes Veccus, published in the Grmcia Orthodoxa of Allatius (Koine. 1652, lioi.i. 154, etc. It is apparently the work entitled by Cave Disputatio Compen Procession* Spiritus Sancti a solo Patre.
