Theognis. Theognidis Megarensis Sentetiae Elegiacae, cum interpretatione & Scholiis Eliae Vineti... Poetarum opera Sententiosa... per Iacobum Hertelium..., Basel, Johannes Oporinus, January 1561.
The first edition of the Elegies by Theognis of Megara came out of the Aldine press in 1495 together with the Idylls by Theocritus and other compilations of poetry. The Elegies were thereafter repeatedly re-published in diverse volumes with other poems, Oporinus having published the integral editio princeps in 1551. It is worth noting here that this work by Theognis was translated into Latin as prose by Melanchthon.
