Heredia's work is the oldest selection of Thucydides' speeches to be found in the West. The anthology is preserved in the ms. 10.801 BNE. The translation, commissioned and supervised by Heredia, was in fact carried out by Dimitri Calodiqui, a Byzantine scholar, and by the Dominican friar Nicolás, bishop of Drenopolis in Epirus.
In 2007, Adelino Álvarez Rodríguez republished Heredia's translation, adding an introduction and a set of notes Álvarez Rodríguez 2007.
