David van Hoogstraten (1658-1724) was the conrector of the Latin School of Amsterdam (1694-1722). Apart from being a prolific Dutch and neo-Latin poet, he was an esteemed linguist and philologist who edited a number of classical authors. His Phaedrus edition of 1701 is considered his masterpiece.Lacks the portrait of Van Hoogstraten. Slight marginal foxing at places, otherwise a good copy.l Bodemann, 94.2; Fabula docet, 145, nr. 69; Landwehr, F177-178; Schwabe/Barbier. 132.
