2 Hunter’s study is certainly among the most notable in the volume and opens new ways in the research of the history of philosophy and, more generally, educational affairs in Late Antiquity.

3 The text of J. Lowden (‘The Transmission of “Visual Knowledge” in Byzantium through Illuminated Manuscripts: Approaches and Conjectures’, pp. 59-80) is written from the entirely different viewpoint of art, yet the reader’s attention is drawn to the fact that his conclusions are largely in tune with the points made by Roueché and Mullett.
