This volume of the Amsterdam edition of the Latin texts of Erasmus contains several works intended for scholarship in Classics. It includes discourse on the correct pronunciation of Latin and Greek, rhetoric, and Classical Latin, in a compendium of the handbook by Lorenzo Valla, as well as a declamation in praise of medicine. The volume offers a critical edition of the Latin text with introductions and commentaries in French and in English explaining the philological, linguistic and historical problems the reader could meet.
