Notes
Full title: Phoenicizing Delphi, or Tractatus, in which the Greeks, whatever was famous at Delphi (whether you look at the history of Python and Apollo, or the Pœanic contests, and prizes, or the ancient form of the Temple and the inscription or the Tripod, the Oracle, etc.) and the history of Joshua, and the sacred writings, are shown to have been framed by reasons not inconvenient. And many things which will be of great delight to the student of philology, are narrated in a different way than is common practice. A diatribe is appended concerning Noah's arrival in Italy, and his ethnic names, and also concerning the origin of the Druids. To these came Oratiuncula for the deliverance of philosophy.
