It has been a century since the first publication of the Apokritikos extracts, which were written "by a Greek philosopher of the 3rd century" (Adolf von Harnack, 1911). One hundred years later, as part of the same series, there now follows a complete bilingual edition of the entire Apokritikos. Along with a German translation, this volume includes a newly reconstructed Greek text with critical commentary. The Apokritikos contains one of the three most sweeping anti-Christian polemics preserved from classical philosophy, together with Makarios's refutation from the Christian side. -- Publisher website.
