Deventer post-incunable with the Latin dialogues by Alexander Hegius (1420-1498), a pupil of Rudolph Agricola, and since 1469 rector of the famous Deventer "Illustre school". His erudition attracted many pupils, among whom Erasmus, Murmellius, Herman Busschius, Henricus Agricola, Johannes Caesarius and Herman Torrentinus. Under Hegius's direction the Deventer school soon counted over 2200 pupils. He was an advocate of the study of the Greek language for a better knowledge of the New Testament. His works were published after his death by one of his pupils, Jacobus Faber. The present edition contains a preface by Aldus Manutius, dated 1501. It is nicely printed, in a small 'bâtarde', ca. 40 lines to a page, and rubricated.

Good copy.- (Spine dam.; title and last lf. sl. soiled; small ms. label mounted on lower margin of first text leaf; sl. waterst.; last blank lacking).
