Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Thalassius, Bishop of Qesarea, said: --It is in accordance with justice and in conformity with the Laws Ecclesiastical that the enquiry should be reserved for him who is going to be appointed Bishop of the City of Edessa, so that he, with the whole Synod of his Province, will, when it is agreeable to them, accomplish that which is pleasing to the Lord God and is befitting His Glorious Name.
