Specialist Notes
Very important work for the studies of Renaissance Greek language and literature. Budé, a French Greek scholar who lived between the fourteenth and sixteenth 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.
