Dealer Notes
“The labours of Drakenborch have entitled his edition to a superiority over every preceding one” (Dibdin). It also features on Dibdin’s list of the ‘editiones optimae’ of quarto variora. Drakenborch (1684-1748) was professor of History and Eloquence at Utrecht; his Livy was frequently used as a basis for later editions.
