Content: Pericles’ Funeral Oration

Willem Canter (1542-1575), humanist. Educated in Latin and Greek by Georg Macropedius in Utrecht, Canter later studied at the University of Leuven and undertook scholarly travels through France, Italy, and Germany, where he befriended leading intellectuals of his time. He spent his later years in Leuven, leading a secluded scholarly life until his early death from tuberculosis. Renowned for his critical acumen, Canter produced important conjectural work on Greek and Latin texts. His major contributions include the Novarum lectionum libri IV (Basel 1564), to which he later added four more books; a Latin translation of the Orations of Aelius Aristides (Basel 1566); and an edition of Euripides with notes (Antwerp 1571). DB

Latin translation of Thuc. 2.35-46 (Pericles' Funeral Oration), together with the translation of Aelius Aristides' Orations and extracts from other classical orators.
