Jakob Gronovius (1645-1716) was the son of the great Dutch humanist Johann Friedrich Gronovius, a professor of Greek studies at the University of Leiden for many years. While the younger Gronovius is principally known for his “Thesaurus Antiquitatum Graecarum (Leiden in 13 vols.), he also worked hard at translating and editing the works of the great classical writers. The EB, 11th ed. mentions such authors as Polybius, Seneca, Livy, Tacitus and Phaedrus. Although many foreign universities courted him, Gronovius steadfastly stayed at his post in Leiden until his death in 1716. (more information)
