FOREWORD It is my duty to record for our readers the death within the past fourteen months of Martin R. P. McGuire (d.
March 15, 1969) and Roy J. De£errari (d. August 24, 1969), both professors emeriti in the Department of Greek and Latin in the Catholic University of America. The two men were members of the Editorial Board of this series of translations since its inception, and Dr. Deferrari was Editorial
Director from Volume 5 (1949) to Volume 58 (1967). Moreover, the volumes that have to date appeared since Dr.
Deferrari became Director Emeritus were all planned by him, as were many that will appear subsequently. Not the least of his contributions to the series was his ability to achieve loyal cooperation among the corps of translators, and to this cooperation the continuance of the series is in no small measure due. As translator himself, Dr. Deferrari contributed the whole of Eusebius's Ecclesiastical History (Vols.
19, 29), a full volume of Ambrose's theological and dogmatic works (44), the volume of Orosius (50), and a part of the first volume (13) of Basil's letters; and he collaborated in the production of five other volumes (4, 13, 15, 22, 36). From Dr. McGuire, had he lived, the series would have received a full translation of the works of Theodoret, a task left unfinished when he died. Actual contributions from his pen were his eloquent rendering of Ambrose's orations on his brother
Satyrus that forms part of Volume 22 and the magisterial essay "The Early Christian Funeral Oration" that opens that volume. These pages, for all their excellence, do not in any way measure the contribution that Dr. McGuire made to the series; the debt that his survivors on the Board owe him lies v
ST. CYRIL OF JERUSALEM
also in the voice of kindly authority that could always be expected from him and the patience and learning he displayed as he spent long hours assisting fellow translators in their work of revision.
In the present volume, Fathers McCauley and Stephenson bring to an end the translation of St. Cyril of Jerusalem they began in Volume 61. Father McCauley has translated, with a brief Foreword, the remaining Catecheses; all else is the work of Father Stephenson. Except for the Mystagogiae, for which the recent edition of Piedagnel was used, the two translators have based their work on the Reischl-Rupp edition (Munich 1848/60).
