First edition of a scholarly text edition with extensive comments edited by Carolus Andreas Duker 1670-1752), Rector of the Latin School of The Hague and professor of history and rhetorics at the University of  Utrecht, and who lived the last eighteen years of his life in IJsselstein and Vianen. His edition of Florus is generally considered excellent. The present copy served as a prize at the Latin School of IJsselstein. This school existed since 1585, but was closed in 1746 by lack of pupils. The school was reopened again in 1759, and on the first Prize-giving Day, eight out of seventeen pupils received a prize.
