Specialist Notes
Cf. Brunet V, 584. Gamba, 1669:“Beautiful and correct reprint, adorned with the effigies of the Caesars, taken from those of Umberto Goltzio. It has the distribution of Lives in Chiefs, according to the division of the original; a statement of the least understood voices; the explanation of the more obscure passages; and a diligent table at the end".
