The work adds to Scaliger’s denunciation in his Thesaurus, with the full text. Also treats pseudo-Sanchuniathon (Canon 1; see Bib# 438010/Fr# 50 in this collection). </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_4102627" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record. </a></span></span></p>
