1547. “Dionysii Halicarnassei Antiquitatum Romanarum, Libri X., Græce,” which Fabricius calls one of the most beautiful books produced by the Greek Press. “Ciceronis Epistolæ.” In this year (which witnessed the death of King Francis), Robert had occasion to publish various monographs presenting the funeral sermons, and describing the obsequies. 1548. “Alexandri Tralliani Medici, Libri XII., Græce;” and “Rhazæ de Pestilentia Libellus ex Syrorum lingua in Græcam translatus.” “Dionis Romanarum Historiarum, Libri XXIII., Græce.” 1549. “Hebraicarum Institutionum, Libri IV. Pagnino auctore.” 4to. “Dictionnaire François-Latin.” Folio. “Virgilii Opera.” “Horatii poemata, scholiis et argumentis ab H. Stephano illustrata.” “Novum Testamentum, Græce.” This edition was described by Colomesius as not containing a single error, but the industrious Greswell finds in the preface itself _pulres_ for _plures_. 1550. “Novum Testamentum, Græce,” in folio, with Robert’s own “Præfatio Græce et Latine scripta et annotationes,” Greek Tabulæ, and biographical notices of the writers of the Gospels and of St. Paul. To the Epistles are prefixed arguments and introductions from various writers, and in all the books marginal readings are given. The work also includes what Maittaire calls an extensive copy of Greek hexameters, composed by Henry Estienne (the second), the eldest son of Robert, who was at the time barely twenty-one years of age. This magnificent edition was long accepted as a most important authority on New Testament text, and critics like Gibbon, and scholars like Porson, have held this book and its publisher (who was also its editor) chiefly responsible for the perpetration of the interpolation of the famous verse in John i., 5, 7, on the heavenly witnesses.[12] The record, however, of the long contests between the critics and the theologians, concerning this verse (now generally admitted to be an interpolation) and other similar textual issues, is foreign to my subject. It may, I think, fairly be assumed that in this instance, as in all editorial work, Robert acted honestly enough, following the best information and the most trustworthy authorities within his reach. The matter of the long contests with the Sorbonne brought about by this critical edition of the Testament, will be referred to a little later. I will here, for the convenience of reference, complete the list of selections from Robert’s list of publications:
