Brittain Fellow John Browning prepared a critical edition of the classic work, which was originally published in 1929, and assembled a group of scholars to contribute to it. Included in the list of scholars are Gerard P. O'Sullivan, who is regarded as a leading authority on Summers; Grace de Majewski, who provided new translations of Greek and Latin; and Carol Senf (also of LMC and an expert on Bram Stoker), who provided the Afterword.

Browning also produced a critical edition of The Vampire: His Kith and Kin. Both are published by The Apocryphil Press.
