Description
Graf (III:131-132) is unaware of the author of the work but notes that it was misattributed to Basil, Bishop of Caesarea, approximately 329-379. I am not sure where this attribution comes from; Athanāsiyūs does not mention Basil, Cantemir, or any other author in his introduction. Other sources have misattributed the work to Athanāsiyūs III himself.
