Specialist Notes

Very important work for the studies of Renaissance Greek language and literature. Budé, a French Greek scholar who lived between the 14th and 16th centuries, composed this commentary at the request of Erasmus for the preparation of a Greek dictionary. The first edition of this work was published only the year before in Paris.
