This present edition, one of many published after its first printing in 1478, is remarkably detailed and accurate and contains parallel Greek and Latin texts. The editor, Jacques Goupyl (ca. 1525-1564), is said to have produced, in this edition, the best of this work to date. The Castigationes which conclude the work are by Goupyl.
