The origins of this twofold attitude towards Lucian seem to date back to the exegesis devoted to him by Arethas, archbishop of Caesarea, which is integrally examined for the first time in this publication. The book consists of eleven chapters: 1 (manuscript tradition of Arethas’ scholia on Lucian); 2 (Arethas’ polemic against Lucian); 3 (scholia with quotations from biblical and patristic texts); 4 (scholia with quotations from classical texts); 5 (relationships between Arethas’ scholia and Photius’ Bibliotheca); 6 (scholia concerning matters of language or style); 7 (scholia dealing with various learning); 8 (scholia containing autoschediasms); 9 (scholia comparing words or facts found in Lucian’s writings with words or facts belonging to the scholiast’s times); 10 (bibliography); 11 (index of Arethas’ scholia on Lucian).
