Content: Complete Work

Henri Estienne (1531-1598), classical scholar, printer, and a prominent figure of the Estienne family of publishers. Son of Robert Estienne, he inherited and advanced the family press, producing scholarly editions of Greek and Latin authors. He is best known for his Thesaurus Graecae Linguae (1572), a monumental Greek lexicon that remained authoritative for centuries, and for publishing the Editio Regia of the Greek New Testament. DHS

Revision of Estienne 1564, itself based on Valla 1452, and dedicated to Frederick IV, duke of Bavaria and Palatine elector. In this edition, the Latin translation appears alongside the Greek text; the volume also includes a previously unpublished afterword by Estienne and a commentary on Books 1-2.
