Book description: Lugundi Batavorum / Lugundi Batorum: Elseviriorum / Ioannis Maire, 1643.

A rare first edition of two books by the scholar Claude Saumaise (Claudius Salmasius) (1588-1653), handsomely bound in contemporary vellum. 'De Hellenistica Commentarius' is Saumaise’s great contribution to biblical commentary, his study of the language of the Greek-speaking Jews who produced texts of the Septuagint and New Testament. The French Protestant Claude Saumaise (Claudius Salmasius) (1588-1653) was a professor at Leiden, and an adversary of the university librarian, the scholar Daniel Heinsius (1580-1655), against whose theories it is directed against. In 'Funus Linguae Hellenisticae' (1643) Saumaise contends that the language of the Greek Scriptures is not a separate dialect but the ordinary Greek of the time. Text in Latin and Greek. This volume bears the name of Jani Broukhusn on the title page. Jan van Broekhuizen (1649-1707), was a great Dutch classical scholar and poet. His classical reputation rests on his editions of Propertius (1702) and Tibullus (1707).
