Tiberius Hemsterhuys, 1685-1766, undertook an edition of the works of Lucian in 1720. “Ten years later the printing began; in the next six years,
the editor had only translated and expounded a sixth part of the text, and had thus filled 525 quarto pages. As the publisher
desired to see the work finished within the limits of his own life-time, he entrusted its completion to J. F. Reitz, a schoolmaster
at Utrecht, who in five years completed the remaining five-sixths of the work.”--Sandys. Dibdin describes this edition as
being not only the most beautiful but the most accurate and complete that has ever been printed.

Nicolas Perrot d’Ablancourt, 1606-1664, French author and translator. The first edition of his translation of the works of Lucien appeared in 1654, and
