In this journal (ns 57 [2006], pp. 335–7) I reviewed the previous volume of group which is completed by present book. review, shall concentrate on two libelli that are here appended to Books XI–XII Defence Three Chapters, both them introduced, translated, and (far too) lightly annotated Aimé Solignac. One these Contra Mocianum, written Facundus in his last years justify Justinian's refusal communion certain bishops after banishment Reparatus from Carthage 552; it not easy follow, Solignac speaks sense author's ‘lassitude et la hâte d’en finir’ (feelings shared reader). The other, an Epistula fidei catholicae defensione trium capitulorum, attributed manuscripts, plausibly assigns Anonymus. It certainly much more coherent better than other work.
