It is a pious but honest account by David Ruhnken (1723-98) concerning his recently departed master, Leiden colleague and close friend, the hellenist Tiberius Hemsterhuis (1685-1766). The eulogy serves not only to provide a revealing portrait of Hemsterhuis’ life, manners and scholarly character but also to outline what befits a truly great critic of the Classics. ====================== Please see my other auctions Thank You Refund Policy: We will issue a FULL REFUND, 100% money back if you are not satisfied with your purchase.
