Ten days ago, I responded to Steven Cox's question, pointing out that
Reitzenstein's _Poimandres_ is NOT an edition of the "Poimandres", but
a collection of his studies, which includes printing some selections
from the text.

Daniel Rian~o, who often supplies useful bibliographical information,
has just posted the statement that "The text was edited by Reitzenstein
in 1904" ; but I fear he has not actually looked at the volume.  It is
as I said: a collection of his essays, with some selections printed which
are related to his studies of them.  It is not regarded as an edition of 
"Poimandres."  Unless he has a copy different from ours here at Harvard.
(We have three copies, so to speak--the original book, a photocopy, and a 
microfilm of it.)
