Transcriber's Notes:
Capital letters have been used to replace text in italics in the printed text. Accents have been omitted.
Footnotes have been inserted into the text enclosed in square [ ] brackets, near the point where they were indicated by a suffix in the text.
Greek words in the text have been crudely translated into Western European capital letters. Sincere apologies to Greek scholars! Longer passages in Greek have been omitted and where possible replaced with a reference to the original from which they were taken.
