Julian's work was preserved by others. Various manuscripts of both the "Long Text" and the "Short Text", in addition to extracts, have survived. The first publication of the book was a translation of the "Long Text" in 1670 by the English Benedictine monk Serenus de Cressy. Interest in Julian's writings increased with the publication of three versions of Cressy's book in the nineteenth century, and in 1901, Grace Warrack's translation of the manuscript of the "Long Text" known as 'Sloane 2499' introduced the book to twentieth-century readers. Many other versions of Julian's book have since been published, in English and in other languages.
