Note 51 — Chapter I · THE KING OF THE WOOD

Journal of Sacred Literature and Biblical Record, New Series, vii. (London, 1865), “The Departure of my Lady Mary from this World,” p. 153. The Greek original of the treatise was discovered by Tischendorf. This passage was kindly indicated to me by my learned friend Mr. J. Rendel Harris. He writes to me: “In these late Syrian calendars the festivals are simply taken over from the Greek and Roman calendars without any adjustment at all, as a study of the detailed saints’ days shows.”
