An introduction explaining a lot of the history and associated subjects of the Apocriticus. Written by T. W. Crafer in 1919.

Book One^{Back to Top ↑}

All that remains of book one is a fragment from chapter six, preserved in the Antirrhetica of Nicephorus, Spicil. Solesm. i p. 332.

A Fragment

A portion of chapter 6.

The first six chapters of book two are also lost to time. Chapters seven though eleven contain answers to five objections. Thus, Crafer assumes that if chapter one was an introduction, then the five objections that were originally pressed are lost.

Book Three^{Back to Top ↑}

Book Three contains several more questions that Macarius Magnes answers.

Book Four^{Back to Top ↑}

Book Four also contains several more questions that Macarius Magnes answers.

Book Five^{Back to Top ↑}

All that survives of Book Five is a fragment quoted in Greek by F. Turrianus (De la Torre), Dogmaticus de Justificatione, ad Germanos adversus Luteranos, Romae, 1557, p. 37.
