Critical edition with an introduction on Nicholas' life and works by A.D. Angelou. Chapter one of the introduction is a narrative of his life and of the events of his times which are echoed in his writings. The crucial Greek passages are grouped together in the appendix at the end of the introduction.

The latter arrangement would help the reader to assess the popularity of Nicholas' works enjoyed among subsequent generations.
