Bos, Professor of Greek at Franeker University, who for five years toiled on the preparation. The text is based on the Rome 1587 edition, and is conspicuous for its clear typographical presentation: printed in two columns in a well-leaded ligatured Greek, with the verse divisions clearly separated by a blank space, it is a pleasure to read. Footnotes of varying length (usually one fifth of the printed page) give the more important different readings. - Darlow-Moule, 4726; Sandys II, 446; Spoelder, 644 (Middelb. 5).
