This edition, (which forms part of the Scriptores Erotici,) is without notes or index, but has, in lieu of the latter, 7 pages, Argumenti Fabulæ,' reprinted from Wyttenbach's Bibliotheca Critica. The Greek text is Boden's, with scarcely any variation. The Latin version that of Cruceus, occasionally altered.

In the Repertoire de Littérature Ancienne, published by Schoell in 1808,
Mr. Bast has inserted a note, regretting that up to that time no perfect
edition of Achilles Tatius had appeared. A new editor, he observes, if
Achilles Tatius should have the good fortune to meet with one, would de-
rive important assistance from a Venetian MS. then deposited at Paris.—
This editor has at length appeared in the person of Mr. Frederic Jacobs, a
scholar every way qualified for the task, and who has also had the advan-
tage of more than ordinary materials. His edition has left nothing undone
on the score of criticism. Manuscripts have been collated for him, by
known scholars, at Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, Munich, Paris, and
London; and he has had the use of the inedited matter of F. Lindenbro-
gius, and F. Guiet. The Commentary, wholly devoted to verbal criticism,
is exceedingly ample, (being upwards of 600 closely printed pages,) and
appears to exhaust every thing which can be said on the subject.

With all these advantages however, there is still a want of explanatory
notes, such as are contained in the editions of Boden and Salmasius; and
Mr. Jacobs has been censured for having adopted the old Latin version of
Cruceus, instead of giving one of his own.

ACHILLES TATIUS, according to Lempriere, lived in the age of the Emperor Claudius II. (A.D. 268) but Coray, Boden, and Jacobs, place him nearly two centuries later. He appears to have been converted from Paganism to Christianity, and made a Bishop. Salmasius and Bp. Huet think him entitled to rank at the head of the ancient Romance writers; but later critics, and among them Villoison and Wyttenbach, though they unanimously give him the preference over Longus, Lucian, and other writers of the same class, rank him only as second to Heliodorus. Photius makes no comparison of their respective merits, but says of the Romance of Clitophon and Leucippe, that it excels in the distribution and arrangement of its parts, in purity of style, in the propriety of its episodes, in exact and amusing definitions, and in a turn of phrase and harmony of period, soothing to the most delicate ear.

A writer of the present day gives the following animated character:-"ACHILLES TATIUS is always glowing, always luxuriant, in his portraits; like the female heads of Giulio Romano, his pictures are characterised by the flowing beauty and fancifulness of the arrangement. We know nothing more beautiful of the kind, than his comparison of a languid blue eye to a violet recently gathered. Imitating his predecessor, Heliodorus, in some respects, there is more of the stir and pulse of life; more of the anatomy of the human mind; the laying bare the philosophy of passion. He suc. ceeded perhaps more than any other of his class, in giving the shadow of the thoughts, and breathing a living interest into his relations."

Acropolita was born at Constantinople in 1220, and brought up at the Court of the Emperor, John Ducas.-His History is from the taking of Constantinople by the Latins, till its recovery by Michal Palæologus in 1261. That of Ducas commences in 1341 and ends 1462. The earlier editions of the former work are very imperfect;-the latter has not been published separately.

This author is to be distinguished from the subsequent one. Bibliographers used formerly to confound them, although they lived a century apart. Thus Gesner has inserted this work in his edition of Æliani Opera omnia,' as if but one writer of this name were the author of the whole.

60 ELIANUS EPISTOLARIS. Epistolæ Rusticæ. Inter Epistolas diversorum Græcorum ab Aldo Manutio impressas; et Epistolas Græcanicas Mutuas, a Cujacio collectas

Little is known of this Author. Some identify him with the preceding; others with the subsequent Ælian; but in the general opinion, he is dif ferent from either. There has been no separate edition of these Letters. Fragments of a Treatise on Providence, probably by the same author, will be found in Suidas.

EDITIO PRINCEPS. It unites all the works of the three Ælians, and is said by Harwood to be "very correct and valuable, and of rare occurrence." Dibdin considers it "a very beautiful publication," and it may be added, that it has been a desideratum in many eminent classical collections.

Of this edition Harles observes "totum opus commentario luculento
ornavit (Perizonius) quo et dictio Græca et Historia atque Antiquitates
erudite et jocunde illustrantur." The name of Perizonius, adds Dibdin,
"will be dear to posterity, as long as Ælian shall be remembered."

The fine paper copies of Schneider's edition of the De Animalibus,

by Perizonius, and are therefore appropriate companions.

An admirable edition, embracing all the notes of preceding editors, with
their Dedications and Prefaces; some inedited Notes of Gesner, and the
learned remarks of Gronovius himself. The text is that of Perizonius,
somewhat amended by the collation of a Medicean and another MS., the
various readings of which are inserted, and the whole is completed by very
ample Indexes. It deservedly holds its rank of "editio optima." See
Harles, Fuhrmann, Dibdin.
