281 The work of Albertus Magnus (1193–1280) with this title can have been hardly yet written when the list was drawn up. The “book” is therefore more probably Paradisus Heraclidis, the oldest Latin version of the Lausiac History of Palladius.

An ancient Anglo-Saxon translation was printed by Thorpe in 1834. Gower’s Confessio Amantis (Bk. viij) is an adaptation of it, and it is also one of the sources of Shakespeare’s Pericles. The earliest English version now known was made in 1510 from the French. (See Encyclopædia Britannica, Vol. XX, p. 635.) (2) Or, The Life of Apollonius of Tyana, by Philostratus (born c. 175 A.D.).
