Summary Founded in 1945 by P. O. Kristeller, the Catalogus Translationum et Commentariorum has evolved over time to reflect developments in the field of reception studies; each article begins with an overview of a Greek or Latin authors reception and contains detailed and accurate information about manuscripts and early printed editions along with copious quotations of paratextual material. Volume 14 is dedicated to the vast literary production of a single Greek author, the Syrian-born satirist Lucian of Samosata. The highly original and often surprising texts of Lucian have inspired a rich tradition of translations, commentaries, and studies throughout the centuries.

The Fourth French edition of Lucian’s collected works, translated by Nicolas Perrot. Lucian of Samosata (c. 120-180 AD) was a Syrian rhetorician and satirist known for his witty and humorous works that criticized society and religious beliefs. His writings, nearly all of which have survived, are celebrated for their sharp satire and influence on later literature.
