But Froben had already published in 1532, under the editorship of Erasmus, an edition containing the De Spiritu Sancto, the Hex\u00e6meron, the Homilies on the Psalms, twenty-nine different Homilies and some Letters.\nA Venetian edition, published by Fabius in 1535, comprised the Moralia, as well as the dubious book on Virginity, three books against Eunomius, and the tract against the Sabellians, Arians, and Anom\u0153ans.\nThe Greek editions had been preceded by a Latin version at Rome, by Raphael Volaterranus in 1515, of which the autograph manuscript is in the British Museum, and by another at Paris in 1525, and by a third Latin edition issued at Cologne in 1531. These were followed by other editions printed at Paris, Antwerp, and Cologne. In 1618 Fronton du Duc, commonly known as Duc\u00e6us, published, in conjunction with Frederic Morel, an edition in two folio volumes containing a Latin version as well as the Greek. The edition of the French Dominican Father Francis Combefis, was published shortly after his death in 1679. The most important step in the direction of accuracy and completeness was taken by Julian Garnier, a Benedictine Father of the Congregation of St. Maur. He revised and corrected the Greek text of earlier editions on the authority of a number of manuscripts in Paris, Italy, and England, and issued the first of his three folio volumes at Paris, at the press of John Baptist Coignard, in 1721. The third volume did not appear till 1730, five years after Garnier\u2019s death. In the meanwhile the editorial work had been taken up by Prudent Maran, another Benedictine, to whom are due a careful and voluminous biographical notice, many notes, and a chronological arrangement of the Letters. This was reissued in three 4\u00b0 volumes in Paris in 1889, and is the basis of the edition published, with additions, by the Abb\u00e9 Jacques Paul Migne, in the Patrologia Gr\u00e6ca, in 1857.\nAn important edition of a separate work is the revised text, with notes and introduction, of the De Spiritu Sancto, by the Rev. C. F. H. Johnston, published at the Clarendon Press in 1892.\nGerman translations were published by Count Schweikhard at Ingolstadt in 1591 (Ceillier VI. viii. 8), and by J. von Wendel at Vienna in 1776\u201378. There have also been issued Basilius des Grossen auserlesenes Homilien, \u00fcbersetzt und mit Ammerkungen versehen von J. G. Krabinger, Landshut, 1839, and Auserlesene Schriften, \u00fcbersetzt von Gr\u00f6ne, Kempten, 1875.\nHomilies and Orations were published in Italian in 1711 by Gio. Maria Lucchini. Omelie Scelte, translated by A. M. Ricci, were published in Florence in 1732.\nMany important extracts are translated into French in the Historie G\u00e9n\u00e9rale des Auteurs Sacr\u00e9s of the Benedictine Remy Ceillier (Paris, 1737).\nE. Fialon, in his \u00c9t. Hist. (1869) has translated the \u0397\u03b5\u03be\u0345\u03bc\u03b5\u03c1\u03bf\u03bd; and in 1889 the Pan\u00e9gyrique due Martyr Gordius was published in French by J. Genouille.\nA complete account of the bibliography of St. Basil is given in the Notitia ex Bibliotheca Fabricii (Ed. Harles, tom. ix. 1804), in Migne\u2019s ed. vol. i., Prolegomena p. ccxli.\nIn 1888 a translation of the De Spiritu Sancto, by G. Lewis, was included in the Christian Classic Series.\nOf all the smaller works a great popularity, as far as popularity can be gauged by the number of editions and translations, has belonged to the Advice to the Young and the Homily on the Forty Martyrs.\nThe mss. collated by the Ben. Edd. for their edition of the De Spiritu Sancto are five entitled Regii, and a sixth known as Colbertinus, now in the national library at Paris. The Ben. Regius Secundus (2293) is described by Omont (Inventaire Sommaire des mss. Grecs) as of the Xth c., the Colbertinus (4529) and the Regius Tertius(2893) as of the XIth c., and the Regius Primus (2286), Regius Quartus (2896), Regius Quintus(3430) as of the XIVth c.\nFor his edition, Mr. C. F. H. Johnston also collated or had collated 22,509 Add. mss., Xth c., in the British Museum; codd. Misc. xxxvii., XIth c., in the Bodleian Library at Oxford; Cod. Theol. 142, XIIth c., in the Imperial Library at Vienna; Cod. Theol. 18, XIVth c., also at Vienna; Cod. xxiii, XIth c., in the Library of the Holy Synod at Moscow; p. lxxv 500 (Reg. 1824, 3) G, XIth c., at Paris; Cod. lviii., Xth c., at St. Mark\u2019s, Venice; Cod. lxvi., XIIth c., also at St. Mark\u2019s, Venice; Codd. Regin. Suaecor. 35, XIVth c., in the Vatican at Rome.\nFor the Hex\u00e6meron the Ben. Edd. used eight mss. styled Regii, and numbered respectively 1824, 2286 (originally in the collection of Henry II. at Fontainebleau, the Regius Primus of the enumeration for the De Spiritu Sancto, but the Secundus for that of the Hex\u00e6meron), 2287 (1\u00b0), 2287 (2\u00b0), 2349, 2892, 2896 (the Regius Quartus of the De Spiritu Sancto), and 2989, two mss. entitled Colbertinus, 3069 and 4721, two Coistiniani, 229, IXth c., and 235; and a ms. in the Bodleian, \u201ca doctissimo viro Joanne Wolf collatus.\u201d\nThe sources of the Ben. Ed. of the Letters were Coislinianus 237, XIth c., a Codex Harl\u00e6anus of the Xth or XIth c., and a Codex Medic\u00e6us, Codex Regius 2293, Codex Regius 2897, Codex Regius 2896, Codex Regius 2502, Codex Regius 1824, Codex Regius 1906, and Codex Regius 1908.\nThe following mss. of St. Basil are in the library of the Bodleian at Oxford:\nHomili\u00e6 et Epistol\u00e6.
