FOOTNOTES:

[1] These authors represent the transition from the Renaissance to Classicism.

[2] Josephus is a remarkable example of the authority and influence of Rome. He was a Jew, whose work might be classed as Hebrew and hence as Oriental literature, and likewise as Greek literature since he wrote in Greek. But he was educated at Rome and trained so thoroughly upon Roman ideas and thought that his writings must be included under this head.

[3] See Latin Lit., note.
