This important reference work contains the lists of those bishops that attended the Council of Nicaea according to manuscripts preserved in Latin, Greek, Coptic, Syriac, Arabic, and Armenian. The lists in languages other than Latin or Greek are given in the original language and script, but also in transliteration and Latin translation. A lengthy preface covers the textual history of each list, and the lists themselves are given with a critical apparatus. Readers who study this period of Christianity, and in particular the Council of Nicaea itself and its legacy in various Christian traditions, will find this volume to be an invaluable resource. Scholars of the languages represented here will also appreciate the wealth of onomastic data included here. A map of episcopal sees represented at the Council, and indexes of bishops, sees, and provinces conclude the volume.
