Hoffmann 449; Schweiger 80: "Erste Ausg.aus e.Florent.Mscr. J.J.Reiske ist Verf.der lat.Uebers. Der Commentar wird sehr geschätzt". "... founded on a bad copy of MS of that author, and marked by a want of clearness and precision, and by the intrusion of much irrelevant matter. This last defect may be ascribed to the influence of Burman." (Sandys II/454)
