Catalogue Note
Editio princeps of the works of the Attic orators (with the exception of Demosthenes, published by Aldus in 1504), one of the most important publications of the Aldine press and, in Renouard's opinion, the source of "une foule d'excellentes leçons" profitably followed by later editors.
