This letter, noticed in our biographical sketch, was also published by Arcudio with a double version, one by himself, and one by Bessarion. A Latin ver- sion, apparently of this letter, as it is entitled Epistola ad Graecos, was printed with a version of the work on the eucharist mentioned below at Strasburg, 4to. a, d. 1513.

IL Philosophical and Miscellaneous Works: 13. In Calumniatorem Platonis, Libri V. ; a reply in Latin to the Comparationes Philoso- pliorum Platonis et Aristotelis of George of Tre- bizond. [Georgius, No. 48, Trapezuntius.] Bessarion's work was first printed at Rome by Sweynheym and Pannartz, a. d. 1469. 14. De Natura et Arte adversus eundem Trapezuntium. This work, written some time before the pre- ceding, was printed with it as a sixth book. 15. Ad Pletlionem de Quatuor Quaestionibus Platonicis Epistola ; written in Greek, and printed with a Latin version by Reimar, Leyden, A. d. 1722, from a MS. in the Bodleian Library. 16, Ad Michaelem Apostolium et Andronicum Callistum Epistolae. h these letters he severely reprehends Apostolius for the violent attack which he had made on Theodore Gaza, and commends Callistus, who had replied in a moderate and decent manner to the attack of Apostolius. The letters of Bes- sarion were published by Boivin in his Historia Academiae Regiae Inscriptionum, vol. ii. p. 456. n. Ad Dcmetrium et Andronicum Plethoim Filios, Epistola. This letter, written to the sons of George Gemistus after their father's death, was published JOANNES. 691 by Allatius (Diatriba de Georgiis, p. 392, and De Consensu Ecdesiae, Occident, et Orie?it., lib. iii. c, iii. p. 937.) 18, Ad Thomae Palaeologi Filiorum Paedagogum Epistola. Thomas Palaeologus, despot of the Morea, and brother of the last Byzantine Emperor, Constantine XIIL, when driven out of the Morea by the Turks, fled with his wife and children to Rome, where he was much indebted to the good offices of Bessarion, who, upon his death, continued his friendly care towards his orphan children. The letter of Bessarion was printed by Meursius, with the Opuscnla of Hesychius of Miletus [Hesychius, No, 9.], Leyden, a. d. 1613. 19, Ad Ducem. et Senatum Venetum de Bibliothecae suae Donatione Epistola. This Latin letter is printed in the Historia Rerum Venetiarum of Jus- tiniani, at the end of the eighth book, 20, Monodia in Obitum Manuelis Palaeologi Imperatoris. A Latin version of this Monody by Niccolo Perotti is given in the Annales Ecclesiastici of Bzovius, vol. xviii. p. 72, &c, 21. Orationes Quatuor ad Italos. Three of these orations, designed to rouse the states and princes of Western Europe against the Turks, were published at Paris, a. d. 1471, and apparently a second time in A. d. 1500 (Panzer, vol. ii. p, 332), and the whole four in the second volume of the Consultationes atqite Orationes Turdcae of Ni- colas Reusner. An Italian version, we know not whether of the three or four, was printed, probably at Venice, a.d. 1471. (Panzer, vol. iii. p. 80.) 22. Ad Lvdovicum Francorum Regem de sua Electione in Legatum ad ipsum et Ducem Burgundiae, pub- lished in the Spicilegium of D'Achery, vol. iv. Paris, 1661. 23.
