Julian (Flavius Claudius Iulianus) "the Apostate", Roman Emperor, lived 331 or 332 to 363 CE. Born and educated in Constantinople as a Christian, after a precarious childhood he devoted himself to literature and philosophy and became a pagan, studying in various Greek cities. In 355 his cousin Emperor Constantius called him from Athens to the court at Milan, entitled him "Caesar", and made him governor of Gaul. Julian restored Gaul to prosperity and good government after the ravages of the Alamanni (he overthrew them at the battle of Strassburg in 357) and other Germans. Between 357 and 361 Julian's own soldiers, refusing to serve in the East at Constantius's orders, nearly involved Julian in war with Constantius—who however died in 361 so that Julian became sole Emperor of the Roman world. He began many reforms and proclaimed universal toleration in religion but pressed for the restoration of the older pagan worships. In 362–363 he prepared at Constantinople and then at Antioch for his expedition against Persia ruled by Shapur II. He died of a wound received in desperate battle.
Julian's surviving works (lost are his Commentaries on his western campaigns), all in Greek, are given in the Loeb Classical Library in three volumes. The eight Orations (1-5 in Volume I, 6-8 in Volume II) include two in praise of Constantius, one praising Constantius's wife Eusebia, and two theosophical hymns (in prose) or declamations, of interest for studies in neo-Platonism, Mithraism, and the cult of the Magna Mater in the Roman world. The satirical Caesars and Misopogon, Beard-hater, are also in Volume II. The Letters (more than eighty, Volume III) include edicts or rescripts, mostly about Christians, encyclical or pastoral letters to priests, and private letters. Lastly in Volume III are the fragments of the work Against the Galilaeans (the Christians), written mainly to show that evidence for the idea of Christianity is lacking in the Old Testament.

Remarkably up to date...All aspects of clinical cardiology are dealt with...should certainly be acquired by all specialised cardiac departments...highly recommended as a source of reference for all general medical units..." --British Medical Journal "...decidedly superior..." --NEJM (all reviews are from last edition) In this thoroughly updated, fully referenced and reorganized Second Edition, Desmond Julian, John Camm, Kim Fox, Roger Hall and Philip Poole-Wilson have brought together a wealth of new information form some of the world's leading authorities on the science and practice of cardiology. Many of Europe's leading cardiologists have contributed to this new Edition, producing a single-volume work which seeks to encompass the most up-to-date information on the scientific foundations of cardiology, while retaining the readibility of the First Edition and the much-praised practical information that made the book such a unique addition to the cardiological literature. Additions to the Second Edition include: Several new chapters on electrophysiology such as ablation, antiarrhythmic treatment strategies, tachyarrhythmias New section concentrating on basic science including lipid pathophysiology and molecular biology Updated section on imaging, including magnetic resonance and PET Expanded coverage of heart failure and its management Thoroughly revised chapters on ischaemic heart disease, with more basic science and expanded coverage of interventional techniques Valuable, practically oriented section on the principles of patient management Appendix covering commonly used drugs Expanded index Supplemented by numerous illustration and over 1600 pages of informative, well-structured text, this is a work that aims to embody the cream of European cardiology and make it accessible to a worldwide audience.
