Philippus STUDITA.
29. STUDITA. In the notice of the
Adversaria Gerardi Langbaini contained in the
Catalogus MStorum Angliae et Hiberniae, vol. i. p. 269. the eighth volume of Langbaine's collection is said to contain a notice,
De Philippi Studitae Historia Graeca. Of the historian or his work there is, we believe, no notice in any extant writer; and as the preceding article in Langbaine's book is described as
Scholae Alexandrinae Paedagogorum Successio, and is probably the fragment of the work of Philip of Side, already noticed [No. 26], we suspect that "Studitae" is an error for "Sidetae," and that the
Historia Graeca is no other than his
Historia Christiana, which is termed
Graeca, not because it treats of Grecian affairs, but is written in the Greek language.
