To the works of Anastasius enumerated by Manitius must be added the Latin version of the Historia Mystica, attributed to S. Germanus of Constantinople, cf. Brightman, , Journ Theol.

page 23 note 4 In this connection it may be recalled that the Paris MS. is of the ninth century, and that Bywater (ed., p. x) has shown that it is not the original MS. of the translation but a copy. In the Bibliotheca Patrum Latinorum Britannica of Schenkl we are told (No. 2911) that MS. 103 of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, contains among other things Prisciani Physici Solutiones. This MS. has been missing from Cambridge for many years, but it is not lost as supposed by James (Western MSS. in Emmanuel College 1904, p. xiii) ; it is now in the British Museum as Harley 3969 (cf Esposito, , English Historical Review, xxx., 1915, p. 468).CrossRefGoogle Scholar
