This is an edition by Johann Georg Graevius (1622-1703), the eminent German philologist and Latin scholar. During his visit to Deventer, Graevius met the famous Gronovius, who asserted his opposition to the German scholars' tendency to follow the model of Justus Lipsius, which in its turn consisted in imitating the style of Tacitus and Suetonius. Graevius decided to stay in Deventer and follow Gronovius's lectures on Latin literature. In 1656 he was named professor of literature at the Universtity of Bradenburg. His lectures on Hesiod (Lectiones Hesiodiae) became famous and evolved into a standard introduction to Greek poetry. His publishing activity dates from 1667 (Hesiodi Ascaei, Amsterdam, 1667). His edition of Cicero's Letters was first printed in two volumes in 1677. The 1694 reedition includes the older commentaries made by Petrus Victorius, Aldus Manutius and others, completed by Graevius's observations.
