Abstract
This article presents the state of preservation and attempts to reconstruction the partially lost work written by Eusebius of Caesarea (d. 339), titled Quaestiones evangelicae. The manuscript tradition of the fragments, attested in Greek and Oriental sources, is thoroughly discussed, together with literature on the subject dating back to the 16th century. Despite several centuries of research, there is still no critical edition of all the surviving testimonies. Particularly interesting in this context seems to be the letter written by Latino Latini in 1563, testifying to the then found codex with the text of the Quaestiones. Unfortunately, the codex disappeared under unknown circumstances and its last owner, G. Sirleto, failed to publish it.
