Editing Justin Martyr (section)

===''Parisinus graecus'' 450===
After this medieval period in which no authentic works of Justin Martyr were in widespread circulation, a single codex containing the complete works of Justin Martyr was discovered and purchased by [[Guillaume Pellicier]], {{Circa|1540|lk=no}} in Venice. Pellicier sent it to the [[Bibliothèque nationale de France]] where it remains today under the catalog number ''Parisinus graecus'' 450. This codex was completed on 11 September 1364 somewhere in the [[Byzantine Empire]]. The name of the scribe is unknown, although [[Manuel Kantakouzenos]] has been suggested as patron. Internal textual evidence shows that multiple older manuscripts were used to create this one, which strongly suggests that it must have originated in a major population center like [[Mistra]], since libraries holding Justin Martyr were already rare by 1364. Other partial medieval manuscripts have been shown to be copies of this one.<ref>Philippe Bobichon, [https://www.academia.edu/7279802/_%C5%92uvres_de_Justin_Martyr_Le_manuscrit_de_Londres_Musei_Britannici_Loan_36_13_apographon_du_manuscrit_de_Paris_Parisinus_Graecus_450_Scriptorium_57_2_2004_p_157_172 "Œuvres de Justin Martyr : Le manuscrit de Londres (Musei Britannici Loan 36/13) apographon du manuscrit de Paris (Parisinus Graecus 450)"], ''Scriptorium'' 57/2 (2004), pp. 157-172</ref> The ''[[editio princeps]]'' was published by [[Robert Estienne]] in 1551.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Justin |first1=Martyr, Saint |title=Justin, philosopher and martyr : Apologies |date=2009 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=Oxford |isbn=978-0199542505 |pages=3–13}}</ref>
