Dibdin, Introduction to...the Greek and Latin Classics (1827) II, pp. 22-23. Ebert 9547: "A new recension after a Florentine MS., which was certainly a good one, but which Gronovius followed so strictly, that he received its manifest errors into the text. Valla's translation, often altered, sometimes deteriorated. Gronovius's notes contain almost nothing but the most vehement and unbecoming sallies against his predecessors. As to the rest, it is well printed and not common." Item #49354
