Reading edition

One of the sources which Master Gregory used was a booklet entitled De septem miraculis mundi. The wonders as given in this 480booklet were: (1) the Capitol at Rome; (2) the lighthouse at Alexandria; (3) the Colossus of Rhodes; (4) the statue of Bellerophon at Smyrna; (5) the theater at Heraclea; (6) the baths of Apollonius of Tyana; and (7) the temple of Diana at Ephesus. All of these, except the last, were included by Gregory in his account of Rome, though he did not believe that all were actually situated in Rome (James, Magister Gregorius, 1917, pp. 537–539).
