It is over fifty years since The Writings of Justin Martyr by Thomas B. Falls appeared in the Fathers of the Church series, as volume six, New York, 1948. The present volume offers a revision of a single work, The Dialogue with Trypho, from Falls's translation, with an updated, select bibliography from the voluminous secondary literature of the intervening half century, sign-posting the more important items as economically as possible in the appropriate footnotes. Since the Dialogue is central to the study of how Christians and Jews related to each other in the second century C.E., it is important to have it available in a convenient and reliable form.
Falls's translation has been checked and gratifyingly found to be still substantially sound, but, where appropriate, corrected against Miroslav Marcovich's invaluable new edition,1 whose division of chapters into sub-sections and italicization of biblical citations has also been incorporated. Not all of his emendations, however, have been adopted, if only because, to steal a colleague's joke, his Greek is so much better than Justin's!2
