The 4 parts each with their own title page. 1) Misopogon and Epistolae. Edited and translated by the French humanist Pierre Martinius (1530-1594), the manuscript used comes from Petrus Ramus. The title page indicates a description of Julianus’s life by Martinius’s, probably intended for a quire, but that was probably not finished in time – hence the beginning of the introduction to the Misopogon on p. 11. 2) Caesares. Translated and edited by Charles de Chanteclair (d. 1620), pp. 103f. with his notes. 3) De regno, also edited by Chanteclair. 4) Hymnus in solem regem, edited by Theodorus Marcilius (1548-1617), a humanist from Arnhem living in Paris, his Adnotationes on pp. 49ff. The last two texts in Greek only.
