Reg. lxxx. § 22. Fessler (De Pat.
Sæc. iv. p. 514) notes the similarity of a Homily, De
perfectione vitæ Monachorum, published under the name of
St. Basil in a book published by C. F. Matthæi at Moscow in
1775, entitled Joannis Xiphilini et Basilii M. aliquot
orationes. He describes it as quite unworthy in style of
St. Basil.
