[Editor’s note (2026): Originally this book was put online as a single-page HTML book. It was also online from the 1862 edition, we have now updated and included the expanded edition from 1864. Greek transliterations have been updated throughout from Erasmian to Neo-Hellenic Koine. See our article titled Erasmus Never Used Erasmian Greek for further explanation. As reference, the two key Greek words αἰών and αἰώνιος are transliterated as — Erasmian: aion/aionios; Neo-Hellenic Koine: eón/eónios.]
